Marya Adrienllwyn descends from raiders and traders of Farreach and the Indigo Deep, most of them bastards, orphans, and runaways. She lives independently like her mercenary ancestors, to the mixed feelings of her parents who settled in Limsa Lominsa to avoid the escalating violence of their Dravanian neighbors.
Marya was raised in Limsa Lominsa, but serves the Immortal Flames in Ul'dah. She wields her connections as a free Paladin and a Scion to navigate the dusty streets and tangled politics, for more power and influence than can be gathered at home in Limsa Lominsa. Marya leads the West Coast Council for unspoken objectives even greater than the Scions' own. In another life she might have been happy simply to join the Sultansworn instead, but in the wake of the Fall of Dalamud there are much greater needs to be met.
Many of the Sea Wolf stereotypes apply: ferocious, loyal, and utterly fearless. Marya prefers to be the first in and the last out; she favors direct solutions in both martial and political arenas, and prefers the view with her boots on the ground. She combines the best of a Paladin's resolve, a Warrior's might, and a Scholar's insight. That said, she is equally subject to the worst of the Paladin's righteousness, the Warrior's rancor, and the Scholar's clinical vision. Do not cross her, because hers is the remorseless cruelty of conviction.
