Marielle

"You are right, everyone loves Akiba after all!"

- Marielle, Volume 2 Annex

Marielle is one of the players trapped in a the MMORPG Elder Tale. Her character is a Cleric and she is the leader of a guild named Crescent Moon Alliance.

Personality
Marielle is an eccentric, energetic, and affectionate person as seen from her choices in clothing to the way she greets people: She does so by jumping on them and squeezing tightly, enough so, that it can manage to form cracks in a nearby wall as seen with the case of Naotsugu. She can also be overly curious and can make the wrong assumptions, for example, when seeing Akatsuki, she immediately assumes her to be Shiroe's girlfriend, and when meeting Naotsugu, she believes him to be buff when in reality he just wears big armor.

Despite her child-like tendencies, she is an experienced player and is well-versed in the game. Female guild leaders are actually quite rare in Elder Tale.

She also shows great concern for her guild members and the other people she keeps under her wing.

The Apocalypse
After being trapped in Elder Tale, Marielle forces herself to stay strong in order to help her guild members. She later learns that Shiroe, the strategist of the Debauchery Tea Party, a group famous for completing multiple raids in the past, is online and invites him over to her guild hall. They exchange information and Marielle later offers him and his friends, Naotsugu and Akatsuki, a place in her guild. However, the trio declines and leaves.

After some time, Marielle is contacted by one of her guild members, a Druid named Serara who is alone in Susukino and is being chased by members of the Brigandia guild.

The Battle of Loka
During The Battle of Loka, Marielle stays silent for the most part while Henrietta explains the large amount of PK'ing going around. Shiroe notices this causing her to reveal that she is going to travel to Susukino to retrieve Serara from her saviour. She then explains that since things are bad in Susukino, she and the highest level members will go to retrieve her and asks Shiroe to stay and take over the Crescent Moon Alliance while she's gone, however, Shiroe volunteers himself and his group to go instead, prompting her to accept.

The Depths of Palm
Marielle gave Shiroe a call and asks him for his current location. When he tells her that they are in The Depths of Palm, she finds herself shocked that they managed to get that far within the course of three days. While she expresses worry for Shiroe and his plan, she explains that she is in telepathy with Serara, and that she is being safely guarded by her savior.

Afterwards, Henrietta asks her how Shiroe plans to cross the channel, Marielle admits that she does not know but Henrietta assures her that Shiroe probably has a plan. This begs her to question why the Debauchery Tea Party's strategist wouldn't want to join the guild in which Marielle answers that she's sure he has his reasons.

The two are then greeted by Liliana who informs them that the other Guild Masters had arrived. She asks how many are there and is informed that only 60% of who were invited showed up while 10% hadn't replied, and 30% refused.
