"Your wife and Lady Michelle were in an accident!"

- Rennert

Michelle Marlon, was the daughter of Gallerian Marlon and Mira Yarera. After going on a trip with her mother on the Titanis, a giant octopus attacked the ship and Michelle drowned in the ensuing sinking. Her death sparked Gallerian's decision to collect the vessels of sin.

Early Life
"My wife and daughter should be coming back by tomorrow."

- Gallerian Marlon

Michelle was born in EC 962 in Levianta as the result of a fling between the daughter of the Yarera-Zusco business clique Mira Yarera and the Dark Star Bureau Director Gallerian Marlon. Due to the circumstances, her parents were forced to marry the next year. Since the marriage was loveless, Michelle was mostly taken care of by her parents' servants Bruno Zero, Rennert, Kacherina and Larisa whom she often offered to help with chores when they weren't able to do them themselves. Throughout her upbringing, Michelle was extremely worried about her parents relationship but was never allowed to show it, due to the possiblity of it ruining her father's reputation. After turning sixteen in EC 978, Michelle was accepted into Levin University.

Judge's Treasure
At some point during summer that year, she greeted Tony Ausdin and Shiro Netsuma cheerfully at the door to her home when they had come to talk to her father about retrieving the lost Ma.

When her father returned form the trip, Michelle suggested to both of her parents that they'd take a trip before her semester starts and wanted to go to Marlon to visit her grandfather, Gandalf Marlon. Although Mira agreed to come with her, Gallerian told her that he couldn't come with her since he had just become the head judge and would have to work hard in the beginning.

Whilst joking with her father about seeing boys, Larisa announced that Ma had come to visit them. As the Jakokuese woman stepped in, Michelle noticed that she resembled her grandmother, Elluka Clockworker, whom she'd seen in pictures and Ma told her she had changed her face out of respect for the woman. When she overheard Ma mentioning she had obtained youth and beauty with help of a place called Lunaca Labora, Michelle wished to go there herself to become beautiful. Ma then told her she didn't need to do so because she was already beautiful and had turned exactly how Ma though she would. Ma then told Gallerian she would like him to sponsor a movie, a live action adaption of the book The Daughter of Evil written by Yukina Freezis, which exited Michelle. Seeing the girls excitement, Ma offered to let her be cast as Michaela, the young maiden King Kyle Marlon was in love with.

Tragically however, Michelle was robbed of that chance after she went on the trip with her mother on the ship Titanis. When returning home, a giant octopus attacked the ship and destroyed it, which lead to Michelle and Mira drowning.
