"...Don't tease me."

Kyle Marlon is the Crowned Princess of Marlon and the figurehead queen of Lucifenia after its annexation, in which hermother Antoinette Marlon is the true power behind the throne during Story of Evil. She was betrothed to Rintoine Lucifen d'Autriche and her actions ultimately contributed to The Green Hunting.

Early Life
Kyla was born in EC 474 with in the Marlon Royal Family. Although the rightful heir to the Kingdom of Marlon's crown, she was never interested in being Queen. Instead, she wished to be a painter, and used the second floor of the royal palace as her studio. In EC 484, Kyle met Keela Freesis and Mikino Sfarz at one of the royal banquets. Showing the talent required, the fourteen-year old Kyla moved into the city with her relatives and progressed quickly under the guidance of John, her art teacher. Around that time in EC 488, she painted a picture of a blonde boy she met, which received the most praise from her tutor. Struck by his intelligent demeanor and kindness, Kyla developed a crush on him and promised to marry the green-haired man when she grew up.

After John's apparent suicide via poison the following year while imprisoned, Kyla suspected the circumstances and, hearing that Keela would do anything if you paid her, had the noble's daughter investigate his death. Soon after, Keela relayed to Kyla how her mother, Antoinette, handed the poison off to a guard who gave it to John. Afterwards, the Marlon princsse became fully devoted to becoming an artist, willing to even leave the royal family and meet up with Keela to begin her art career. However, multiple art critics and dealers, including the famed Nikolay Tolle, criticized Kyla's work and over time demoralized her from her ideal. Completely broken, the blue-haired princess abandoned her dream and burned her collection of paintings in EC 490, save for the portrait her teacher loved so much;around this time, Kyla received a hand mirror from hermother and kept it because it helped alleviate her confusion.

Sometime later, Keela bought the painting, saying the princess could buy it back when she felt better, although the price would be doubled.In EC 494, she became acquainted with Rintoine Lucifen d'Autriche of the Kingdom of Lucifenia after her father's death and the two would become very close. Their parents agreed to have their children marry when Rintoine turned fifteen. At some point, she learned that her mother had bribed the artists and dealers to belittle her. As the years progressed, she overheard numerous titles given to him in regards to being her mother's tool for the path to become a successful queen when she passes on and herapparent incompetence.Sometime later, she met and collaborated with Lolita Avadonia in secret.

Green Romance
During one of his visits to Keela's mansion in the Kingdom of Elphegort, she left unsatisfied by the entertainment at the merchant's dinner party. The following month, she returned to the periodic event at the mansion and watched Keela's new servant, Michael, sing. Impressed and enamored with the boy, the princess congratulated Keela for her success after the performance and praised Michael's voice. Keela introduced the servant to the princess, mentioning she was a playgirl. In reaction to the comment, she nearly cursed but recomposed herself and apologized for her rudeness.

Seeing Michael's nervous demeanor at her position, she told him she intended to remain incognito and that she was fine with him treating him casually like Keela did. Michael obeyed and Kyla told him they were speaking too casually, prompting him to respond how she truly was a playgirl. The embarrassed Kyla choked up when trying to respond.

After one of Michael's performances sometime later, she knocked on the door to Keela's living room and entered after no one responded; the princess saw Michael gawking at her portrait of Neyro and trying to read the signature. Kyla approached him and told him it was her penname: Kacherina Crim. Kyla explained to the surprised Michael his failed art career caused by her mother. When he asked if she hated being the Crowned Princess, she told him she was proud of the responsibility but that his mother remained unsatisfied, despite following the road she paved for her.

Staring at him, she spoke of how she still wished she could escape and live among the common folk with a family, provoking the servant to ask if she was in love with him. She told him she loved her since their first meeting but he turned him down, saying he didn't know how to love a woman. Angered, Kyla tried to explain love to Michael, and asked if there was anyone he wanted to protect and cared for. Whenshe responded, she was embarrassed to hear his mention her love was a man, but said it was possible if it was true love.

She gave her a shell necklace that once Rintoine gave her to represent her pure love for him and jokingly threatened that he was refusing the Crowned Princess of Marlon's gift. She blushed and Michael berated her for abusing her power; Kyla apologized and said she would like them to start out as friends. With a mischievous smile, Kyla heard Michael agree to the offer and told him being friends with Marlon's princess was incredible, much to his ire. She told him she was kidding and retired to the dining room.

Passion of Blue
Kyle attended the ball celebrating Rintoine's fourteenth birthday. She would later join in mourning at Lolita's funeral and leave after her burial. Afterward, Kyla visited Keela's mansion and met with the merchant and Queena Sohna Elphen to discuss Elphegort's poor harvest and Lucifenia's problems.

During visits to Keela, she would see Michael almost daily and they would talk and have fun, with Kyla occasionally buying the servant a gift. The day after her meeting with Keela and Elphegort's queen, the merchant showed Kyla a unique piece of her collection and the princess came in contact with the Venom Sword, feeling a twisting yet comforting feeling. The merchant asked if her friend was interested in purchasing the weapon but the blue-haired princess refused, feeling she would be unable to handle its power. Afterward, she went to see Michael and, suddenly filled with an intense and uncontrollable lust for him, cheerfully asked if he would rather go outside rather than do the laundry.

Hearing no response, she told him she was leaving for Marlon soon and came by to say hello and farewell to Keela but that the merchant was busy. Knowing the captain was waiting, she asked if he would send her regards to Keela instead. Michael vehemently told her to ask the housekeeper Bruna instead and the princess realized her anger, interpreting it as loneliness at her departure and believing Michael had finally fallen for her. He rejected the notion and seethingly told her he knew she was engaged. Kyla brushed it off and told her Rintoine was like her brother, not her lover and said she felt happy he seemed jealous. Michael angrily replied he was angry because she was deceiving him before he calmed down and lead her to the door.

On their way, she sighed before finally ordering him to turn around. Once he complied, the blue-haired princess explained that she did not want to marry Rintoine and that the betrothal was decided by their mothers. Michael asked if she hated the prince and she said that wasn't the case, saying she knew he was not a bad boy and she explained she liked him as a brother, rather than love him as her betrothed.

Michael told her she couldn't defy her mother and Kyla agreed, but hesitated in thought. She was shocked when the servant rejected her and told her that her affair would cause problems with the other countries if it went on. Saddened, she understood what he said and agreed to not cause any harm. The two headed for the door in silence and bid each other farewell as they approached the mansion's main gate.

Heading for his entourage, Kyle suddenly ran back to Michaela and embraced her, asking if she would join him if he disobeyed his mother, gave up the throne, and ran away. He released her and told the shocked servant to forget about what he said before departing back to Marlon.

Green Hunting
A few weeks later, Kyle gave a letter to Prime Minister Minis Stoup of Lucifenia to give to Riliane, explaining to the minister that he was withdrawing his engagement to the princess. After telling his mother, the Queen Dowager told Minis she would respect Kyle's decision. With the letter explaining his situation sent with Minis back to Riliane, Kyle prepared to leave for Elphegort but was imprisoned by Prim and kept under house arrest. He was later freed and received a letter from Keel explaining the situation.

Knowing Michaela's location, Kyle left Marlon with the intention of rescuing her from Riliane's genocide of the green-haired populace in Elphegort known as the Green Hunting. About a week later, he arrived and found the one he loved dead inside the well. He hugged her corpse and cried when the former Lucifenian court mage, Elluka Clockworker, and her apprentice, Gumillia, arrived. In his frustration, he kicked and punched violently as the duo extracted Michaela's corpse and soon after departed with the shell necklace he gave her in hand. Donning a mask, Kyle went to the headquarters of the Lucifenian Resistance within the Forest of Bewilderment and told them he could help. He joined the resistance led by Germaine Avadonia, daughter of Leonhart.
