Marleyna Bartley

Marleyna Bartley is a relatively recent addition to the population of Ravenmoor, having moved there a few years ago following the death of her mother; she was sent from Galduria to stay with her father Robb and older sister Brie, though when she arrived she learned that Brie had been missing for some time. A sweet but shy girl, she has suffered a number of indignities since coming to Ravenmoor, including the ritual abuse of her father and the social cruelties of Shel Lupescu. She has been awaiting some opportunity to escape Ravenmoor ever since, and this may be part of why she was so interested in getting to know the investigators from Magnimar.

The truth behind the enmity between her and Shel Lupescu is rumored to involve a great deal more than their recent rivalry in the upcoming Queen of the Festival contest; in fact, in the first few months of her stay in Ravenmoor, Marleyna got on quite well with Shel, and they were quite close.

Marleyna was revealed to have been attempting to join Galduria's Twilight Academy in the time before her mother's unfortunate passing, and may have some small degree of skill in arcane magic. She is a follower of Nethys, the god of magic.
