Marianne was a young woman who lived in Paris during the French Revolution.
Biography[]
Marianne lost her parents to the guillotine after they were denounced by their neighbor, who subsequently took possession of their residence. Robbed of her childhood home, she began to practice swordfighting with the intent of taking back her parents' house by force. During one of her training sessions, she met the French Assassin Arno Dorian.[1]
Marianne explained her intentions to Arno, saying she had grieved enough and asked him to teach her. The Assassin agreed and after a short training session, the pair set off towards Marianne's former home. Together, they rid the house of extremists, allowing Marianne to reclaim valuable mementos of the family she lost.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Ironically, Marianne's backstory casts the French Revolution in a negative light, when the allegorical Marianne is considered one of the revolution's most recognizable symbols who represented Liberty, Reason, and the French Republic's triumph over its enemies.
