World of Redemption

Marri is a young human child, around eight years old, whose current illness cannot completely extinguish her natural brightness. She has long, auburn hair that, when she is well, is often tied back with a simple ribbon, but now lies limp against her pillow. Her most striking feature is her bright, curious eyes, which, though now clouded with fever and weariness, still hold a flicker of their usual inquisitive spark. Her skin is pale and cool to the touch, and a light smattering of freckles across her nose stands out against her pallor. She wears a simple, homespun nightgown, a garment that seems too large for her now-frail frame. She is a picture of innocence interrupted, a vibrant young life currently held in the grip of a serious sickness.

In health, Marri is a cheerful, inquisitive, and adventurous child, always eager to explore and learn. Her personality is a bright spark of youthful energy. However, her current illness has rendered her weak and subdued, her usual vibrancy dimmed to a faint flicker. She is often too tired to speak, and her usual curiosity has been replaced by a quiet, feverish rest. Yet, her spirit is not entirely broken. In her more lucid moments, a flash of her old self can be seen—in a weak smile for her sister, or a brief, curious glance at a flower placed by her bedside. She is a fighter, her small body battling a powerful sickness, her will to live the unspoken motivation behind her sister's desperate quest.

Marri Hughes is the younger sister of Sarah Hughes, the two of them being the only family they have left in their small, isolated settlement. She grew up with a boundless curiosity for the world around her, her days filled with exploring the nearby woods and asking endless questions. Her life was one of simple, childish joys until she was struck by a sudden, serious illness. A raging fever took hold of her, leaving her weak and bedridden, unresponsive to any local remedies. Her rapid decline spurred her older sister, Sarah, into a desperate journey to find a doctor and a cure, leaving Marri in the care of neighbors. Now, Marri's life hangs precariously in the balance, her fate resting on her sister's success in a world far from their quiet home.
