Ramona is the daughter of cousins, Rio Marino & Aro Marino, born alongside her late brother, Varis Marino on Feb 29th, 2016. She resided in Cour des Miracles with her mother and brother until it disbanded, and the family parted ways. She still kept in close touch with her brother, Varis.
In March 2021, she lost her brother in a hunting accident, and is still very distraught about it. Later that year in June, she joined Casa di Cavalieri, but instead of it helping her get over her brother's death, being around others just seemed to make it worse. Plagued with anxiety, gorey flashbacks, and panic attacks, Ramona later left the pack to live out in the woods in solitary.

Overview |
|
Ramona is comprised of many muted brown and tan tones, which are thought (by her mother) to be inherited from her grandfather's (Ehno Marino) genes. Ramona's has bright green eyes that take on the tones of the stems of fresh flowers. Ramona's body is lean with a boyish shape with the slightest curvature around her hips. Her face is pretty and angled nicely, leading to large, foxy ears that rest at the top of her head. She's known to have an expressive face, often leaking emotions from her eyes despite how much she tries to hide it. Ramona's fur is soft and velvety as well as her Optime hair, which is a muted brown color with long, tight, spiraled ringlets. She's average height, standing at 6'3" in Optime (not on her tippy toes, either!), and usually carries herself confidently. Forms

Summary |
|
Ramona's strongest qualities are her positive attitude, sassy nature, and protective impulses. Often found in a positive mood, she is often a good egg to be around. Most find her company enjoyable, and find her easy to get along with. Much like her mother who she spent a lot of her life with, Ramona is a kind soul with a big attitude and a ferocious drive to protect those she loves and cares about. She's righteous by nature, and always strives to do the right thing -- but sometimes, she's misled either by false information or just her own ideas about the world. Being raised in a family that practiced Voodoo, Ramona tends to turn to her religion in times of conflict only. She's not devoted to the gods in any means, and only performs rituals and prayers when she has something to ask of them. In contrast, there are times when Ramona can be impulsive and childish. She has a tendency to (half-jokingly) argue about stupid things, perhaps refusing a task for a dumb reason or otherwise. She has an affinity to follow the beat of her own drum, and unintentionally acts disobediently to authority at times. Her heart's usually in the right place, but she doesn't always realize she's outright breaking rules until someone tells her. |

Motivations and Fears |
|
Ramona's motivator is family, and being surrounded by it. When she was younger and still lived in her birthpack, she remembers being surrounded by her mother and half-siblings. It was one of the happiest times of her life, and the feel-good nature of that is something that motivates her to make close ties with others and remain surrounded by good friends. One of Ramona's biggest fears came to life just months before she came to Casa... a family member, her brother, was killed. Ramona hasn't experienced a ton of loss in her life - aside from her mother leaving her and her home disbanding - so this blow hit her especially hard. Other fears might include public embarassment and overall failure... though, this is to be seen. |
|
Sexuality |
|
Pansexual in nature; Ramona hasn't had much experience in the love department to know whether she has a preference for either sex, though there have been a few that have come and gone. Nothing special :| |
|
Spirituality |
|
Raised with Catholicism and Voodoo in her life, Ramona is mostly not religious by default. She tends to only turn to her faith - Voodoo - when she wants to request something from the gods or needs guidance. Most often she is ignored or turned away, due to her negligence of them. |

Notable Relations |
|
Ramona has had a positive relationship with her mother, Rio Marino, throughout her life, but unfortunately, has not seen much of her father, Aro, at all and doesn't have any sort of solid relationship with him. Most of the memories of her childhood and young life are positive, surrounded by family and friends - her mother's doing. She strives to be like Rio in many ways. |

Auxiliary Skills and Hobbies
Ramona is skilled in Spanish, English, and Italian, and can read and write in these languages, too.
Familiarized by taking care of her siblings' animals when she was younger, Ramona got the hang of this earlier on. She's apt to ensuring there is food and water for whichever creature is in her care, and knows how to muck out a stable for a horse or farmland animal. She even knows a little about shearing sheep.
Living on her own, Ramona learned how to track prey and make use of the different materials of her prey to make the most out of living on her own in the wilds.
