Backstory:

Marley Dash was born to unnamed parents in New York City on September 19, 1902. When she was 5, her mother dies of tuberculosis. Downtrodden, Marley's father was driven to smoking. One night, he fell asleep in his chair and dropped his cigarette on the carpet, which lights the house on fire. Marley escapes and manages to get the fire department. Sadly, Marley's father had been burned alive and killed. She was forced to stay in an orphanage for the next few months until Jenni Graves is brought in. Marley immediately took a liking to Jenni and even returns her ruby when she drops it. Six weeks later, Jenni and Marley escape the orphanage to find Jenni's mother, Luna. Sadly, she is dead. The two are adopted by a librarian where they school themselves. As they grow up, Marley buys Jenni a golden locket and chain for her ruby. She and Jenni make themselves blood sisters and decided to help each other. Marley is sent by Jenni to spy on Lackadaisy for her but begins to fall in love with Rocky.
