Marie Annette

Marie Annette was an earthling from the Second Period and later one of the Demons of Sin. As part of the team on the Climb One who intended to repopulate a new planet with human beings, Marie became involved in the creation of the Third Period before being trapped on the ship and later reincarnated as the Demon of Pride.

Early History
In the Second Period, Earth, Marie Annette became a young historian. As the Second Period began to collapse due to HERs contaminating the world, she and 71 other scientists boarded one of several spaceships intended to travel to inhabitable planets and repopulate them, theirs under the name Climb One. As they lost contact with all their fellow spaceships, the crew of the Climb One realized they were the last inhabitants of Earth and decided to create a new species in the image of earthlings.

After finding a new planet to inhabit, they set about constructing the new world and species, designing their societal development to mirror that of earthlings' in a shorter time span. During this process Seth Twiright, an HER who had secretly boarded the Climb One, instigated the deaths of 62 of the crew members and contaminated the new species to have a possibility of developing HER Syndrome. The remaining crew, including Marie, proposed they reincarnate as gods into the world to guide the humans, unaware that they themselves were HERs.

When their colleagues Held Yggdra and Hazuki disagreed, Marie joined the ensuing fight and was killed along with everyone else when it caused the Climb One to crash, leaving behind only her spirit data. Marie and her colleagues remained trapped in the Climb One for some time while the new species of humans began building their societies; eventually, the humans of Levianta discovered the Climb One and established it as a holy relic called the "Sin" ark.

Mantle of Pride
Main Article: Demon of Pride

Sometime after, the earthlings escaped Sin and reincarnated as demons, losing their memories of their former lives. When Hänsel and Gretel split Eve Moonlit's Original Sin into seven fragments in EC 014, Marie became the "Demon of Pride" with her vessel a mirror. After their vessels were scattered across the world, the amnesic Demon of Pride possessed humans susceptible to her influence who came in contact with her vessel throughout the centuries, watching her contractors spread malice and chaos.

Legacy
A heavily stylized account of Marie's participation in the Third Period's creation was noted in the Levin Bible, with Marie being one of the six "god kin" who swore allegiance to Levia-Behemo against the "Sun God". Marie's actions as the Demon of Pride sparked chaos and tragedy throughout the history of the Third Period.

Personality and Traits
Acting like an HER, Marie was a morally corruptible girl. During the creation of the Third Period, she and her colleagues became willing to kill in order to achieve their objectives, and as a demon of sin Marie became rampaging, apathetic, and haughty, having no goals but to sow chaos in the Third Period. Fitting with her immaturity, as the Demon of Pride she also displayed an impatient and bratty nature.

Skills and Abilities
As one of the bright minds from the Second Period, Marie had a basic knowledge of all of the advanced technology used by earthlings. As the youngest member on the Climb One, Marie was a precocious child and extremely intelligent in her field as a historian. After her reincarnation into a demon, Marie had all the abilities of the demons of sin, although having no memories of her former life.
