Her father 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, with a gash on her arm from the window. 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. Marley does her best to comfort a grief-stricken Jenni. 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.
