Marnie comes from a wealthy, upper class family and is quite familiar with her parent's business (a Robotics company that often sells directly to the government).
For as long as she could remember, Marnie had always been strange. As was usual in her city, her parents had altered her genes to ensure that she was free of disease and had an enhanced immune system; however, like her older brother before her, they also altered her mind to ensure that she would be far more intelligent than the average child. The process worked fine, but oftentimes the way she showed it suggested otherwise.
From a young age, Marnie was fascinated with how things worked. She'd take things apart and put them together in new and different ways ("new and different" often just meant "explosive and dangerous"), and received a lot of instruction from her older brother Alister. She learned rapidly and there was no doubt that she was truly brilliant- but she was still a child with a lot to learn.

Any one of her inventions. Not a lot of them are designed to be weapons, but about 90% of them have a tendency to malfunction in explosive ways. She's used this to her tactical advantage more than once.
None. In the future, most religions have been either abolished or forgotten.
Constantly in flux, due to new ideas and opinions being thrown at her during her adventures. Most of the time, she doesn't know what to think.
The team's resident Gadgeteer Genius.
It changes depending on her mood, but usually, she likes blue and green.
-Printies: 3D printed snack food that you can design in interesting shapes. She especially loves CheesyBuns (cheese bread in the shape of a bunny) and TwistyPuffs (marshmallow-like candies in pliable shapes).
-Marnie also like the strawberry-flavored SupplaFreezes (smoothie-like supplement drinks; good energy boosts!)
A black and green "Van Dax Robotics" company jacket that Alister gave her just before she left. The jacket is later destroyed.
(Symbolism!)
When she was eight, Marnie built a little robotic mouse she named Doris. It later broke, but since then, she's made approximately 27 different models of Doris (mainly because they keep breaking- but at least she got good at building robot mice).
