Changes: Marie Heinlein

Revision as of 21:26, 11 January 2020

Marie Heinlein (メアリー, Mearī) is a character in the Fatal Fury series. She is only mentioned in Garou: Mark of the Wolves, and she's only seen in a portrait of her.

Story

Marie Heinlein is the older sister of Kain R. Heinlein. She lived happily with her brother and their friend Abel Cameron. Eventually, they grew up and Marie attracted the attention of the crime boss, Geese Howard. They were married, but Marie had to live always hidden from the world, because she would represent a weakness to Geese's enemies. One day, she discovered she was pregnant. She had a boy and named him Rock. So, she lived her unfortunately sad life with her son, until one day, she fell ill and succumbed to her illness. Years later, Kain invited Rock to a King of Fighters tournament in order to tell him the truth about his mother. By the end of such tournament, Kain mentioned that Rock's mother is still alive, directly contradicting what he knew about what happened to his own mother.

Fate

In the fan Q & A for the game, creators noted that the confirmation of her death wasn't made by a physician, thus leaving some room for error about her ultimate fate. As such, it may be possible Marie survived her illness after all.

Although the sequel has not been available to the public, many fans speculate over the real reasons behind her apparent death. There are others who even question Kain's relation to Marie. Though creators have expressed interests in their opinions and alternative views, they have currently not stated anything about such ideas.

Personality

There's much speculation about her personality, but nothing is officially confirmed. What is known is that she loved her son and was a rather humble person. She also begged Rock to not bother his father, suggesting that she also knew some of his work. This may be the reason why Marie held no ill will about Geese leaving them to their nondescript apartment.
