History:
Familial History
To her knowledge - Starting from a very young age, Marina was abused any time she did not meet her parents' standards of perfection. Things got worse when she came to Magic Horizons school of magic and was sorted into Slytherin, which was a grave sin in the eyes of her parents, as her family line were strictly Ravenclaws. The abuse worsened to a frightening degree, until, unexpectedly, her parents were killed in a ministry accident.
When Nina tried to tell her beloved grandparents what her parents had done to her, they refused to believe her and threatened to disown her if she didn't take back the things she said. Stubborn as always, Marina stood by her word, and now has no home outside of Firefox University.
Once she graduated, the only route left to her was to become a Professor. She now teaches students how to fly on and maintain broomsticks.
Reality - Marina WAS severely abused as a child, but does not understand why. The reason is that Marina was the result of an affair her mother had with a man named Remiel Antares, who came from a long line of Slytherins. Thus, she served as a constant reminder of the affair, bringing her parents to violence.
When Marina was sorted into Slytherin, it served as further proof that she was Remiel's child and not David's. Thus, the abuse worsened.
After her parents died, her grandparents (on her father's side), refused to accept that their son could have done such a thing, choosing to believe that she had somehow inherited a dishonest nature from her biological father. Also, it was easier to disown her as they were not really blood related to the girl at all. They attempted to tell her of this reality in a letter, but Marina really has no idea what to believe, and chooses simply not to think about it.
School History
Magic Horizons - Marina transferred to Magic Horizons from an American school she was attending while her parents worked with the American Ministry of Magic. Immediately she was well liked and very successful in school, earning her house well over a hundred house points singlehandedly, and also finding herself an immediate member of the quidditch team. However, beneath her extremely cheerful nature and all of her immediate friendships, Marina hid the dark secret of her past from nearly all, even when extremely severe cuts and bruises suggested the truth that she did not speak of.
A severe blow was dealt to her, after her parents had died, when her best friend, in an attempt to commit suicide, was sired by the vampire Michaela. When she encountered that friend again, she was severely injured and captured, as Sombre (formerly Cara) had the intent of keeping her as a pet. During her stay, she changed possession from Sombre to Michaela, until she was eventually let go not too much worse for the wear.
Afterwards, she was appointed Slytherin Prefect, and while she remained active on the Quidditch team, serving as co-captain, she neglected her studies. During this time, Marina became very cold and withdrawn, opening up to none but Azrael, whose Cabal she joined. In an attempt to prepare her for battle against Danawi, she was also schooled in Elemental Magic by Talon Windwaltz, who discovered within her an affinity for water. Eventually, when Talon formed his own school, Nina left Magic Horizons, and along with that, her coveted position of Prefect.
Firefox University - Marina did not regret that decision, however, as she was almost immediately appointed Slytherin Prefect, and shortly after that, Head Girl. Her nature has improved here for the better, as she sees the new school as an opportunity to start over and form new friendships to replace the ones that died away long ago. For once, Nina is doing okay, though she needs to find the love and support of somebody in order to fully recover from the damage her childhood did to her mentally.
