Once upon a time, there lived a baker and his wife. One day they had a little girl called Marinette. But when Marinette was two, tragedy struck the joyful household and her mother died.
When Marinette was five her father too, died, on that fateful September night. As the small child padded down the wooden stairs to wish her father goodnight, she discovered him collapsed on the floor. And all through the night whilst the wind howled, Marinette's crying could be heard as the orphan crumpled to the floor next to her father, whimpering as the fate finally set in and the realization that she was all alone hit her.

This is where our story begins, Marinette is now fifteen but is still a kindhearted and caring girl, despite the ill treatment she receives from Chloé; but that is all about to change...
