Kind of Pathetic
Marrubi is the shy, highly anxious type who finds it very difficult to relax. She finds most of her inspiration, peace and solace in her reading (being a major bookworm geek).Contrasting to her tall & bright pink appearance, Marrubi is actually a meek wee thing and displays a lot of fragility through worrying, panicking and hiding away from various situations; much like a typical rabbit would.She’s highly sensitive- becoming easily startled and very jumpy. Her droopy viera ears often prick up in surprise!
Serious Introvert
While she is mild-mannered and kind, Marrubi struggles to truly trust and connect with other people, and thus normally isolates herself- even from the Scions. It’s very hard to get close to her or form a deeper friendship. This makes Marrubi appear quite cold, especially coupled with her lack of humour; causing strangers to become surprised when discovering this cute pink rabbit has such a poker-faced existence.It’s very rare to see Marrubi with a genuine smile or laugh, usually merely doing so to simply be polite. However she’s only been this way since she left the Woods; originally she was a genuinely happy and playful young lady. Nowadays, while Marrubi likes to help others, she prefers to keep them at arm’s length. It’s likely that she has Avoidant Personality Disorder due to the events of her past. Nevertheless, she believes in the common good and strongly believes that being courteous, cautious and caring is the way to live a fulfilling and comfortable life.(spaceYour Typical Nerd
She’s very much a stereotypical nerd, who excels most with her intelligence, diligence & knowledge, but struggles with the more athletic or creative side of things. She will spend all day reading in-depth books & research on how to approach a specific problem, and assume this will make all of her strategies failproof. However, as Marrubi always fails to remember, things don’t always go to plan no matter how hard she may prepare.Despite being the hesitant & overcautious type, Marrubi is open to other people’s suggestions and ideas. This is mainly because since leaving her viera clan in the Woods, she’s had to relearn everything about life and how things work. Therefore despite being over 80 years of age, Marrubi feels more akin to an adolescent, relearning and re-educating herself on almost everything she comes across. The Scholar’s uniform has never fitted another so perfectly!
Independent Bun
Marrubi, despite her blatant weaknesses, does have a secret feisty side. At heart she’s a free bird with an eagerness to quietly explore and learn more about the world- and so naturally she dislikes being tied down with too many obligations. She’s grumpiest when there’s anything too authoritarian to deal with, such as always having to do whatever next great plan our bossy Alphinaud asserts upon the Scions.Unfortunately she rarely has the inner strength to stand up for herself, and so most of her annoyances are merely aired through passive-aggressive glaring (which usually goes unnoticed) while continuing to do whatever she's told to do.Instead, her quiet rebelliousness tends to be reflected in her fashion sense, of which is usually quite outlandish and brightly coloured. She especially enjoys trying all the new fashion styles & fabrics she’s discovered since coming to Eorzea- even if its worn maybe a tad inorganically.
Finding Peace in a New World
Currently, Marrubi is striving for a peaceful life- and dreams of the day she no longer has to get caught up in all the daily incidents with the Scions and being the Warrior of Light.However, her true need is to allow a kind soul into her life who can truly help protect and take care of her- but of course she will never admit this! Even though she's always an easy target in battle, even though enemies can basically smell the vulnerability radiating from her... she will remain a stubborn bun!

(space)FUN FACTS
- Her name means “Strawberry Strawberry-Flower". 🍓
- She also naturally smells like strawberries. This, unfortunately, attracts many monsters LOL- although something could be said for her vibrant hair colour too.
- She has buck teeth (like a rabbit) and so speaks with a bit of a lisp.
- The fairy that chose her was Eos.
- Normally she cannot see without her glasses or goggles; however when she is a White Mage she's able to naturally heal her eyesight.
- More chaotically, she also doesn't wear glasses as Paladin due to the likelihood of breaking them, so she charges in blind. 😬 Yes, that is a bad idea. 😬
- Her swimming ability was terrible until Lyse taught her how to swim properly, during their journey to the Ruby Sea.
- She loves to drink (especially ale), but um... she's also a lightweight. When tipsy, it's the only time you'll witness a jovial Marrubi with no filter. 🥴🍻
- Her chocobo is called Custard.
- Her birthday coincides with National Princess Day in real life.
- She has a crush on Cid Garlond. She admires his optimism and geeky tech skills; although he's too busy for a relationship- so she'd never intrude.
- Meanwhile, it's Aymeric who has a crush on her.
