Marianne Von Edmund by dweebunny on DeviantArt (original) (raw)
"Back then, I felt that my life served no purpose and that I was nothing more than a burden. In truth, I was begging the goddess to take me to her. That was my daily prayer... but now I fear the idea of dying and being left alone. I have friends who accept me for who I am now, in spite of my Crest. And I have you watching over me. I've finally learned to accept the kindness and warmth of others."
I was absolutely THRILLED to learn that I had been chosen for the honor of drawing War!Marianne for the Compendium! Marianne's growth from the beginning of the game to the time skip is so moving, and was the first and most potent part of the game that made me cry. I felt so proud of her, seeing how far she came in the 5 years and how she overcame her own self-loathing and depression...it really moved me, and inspired me. Marianne means so much to me, and she gives me a sense of hope for the future. Since experiencing her story, she is a great sense of comfort for me when things look dim. Even though she still has some distance to go, she has come so far. I am actually getting emotional as I type this,,
I love Marianne!!
