マリアンヌ ヴィ ブリタニア Marianne the Flash
from Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
Birthday
November 22 1980
Marianne vi Britannia (マリアンヌ ヴィ ブリタニア, Mariannu vui Buritania), 38 years old (30 at the time of her "death"), was the late Empress of the Holy Britannian Empire, a former member of the Knights of the Round by holding the title of Knight of Six, and one of the founders of the Ragnarök Connection. She also was the fifth wife of Charles zi Britannia and was the mother of Lelouch vi Britannia and Nunnally vi Britannia. Marianne was a beautiful young woman who had a slim yet strong build, a high height, and fair skin. Like her son Lelouch, she had big violet eyes and black hair, which she had it much more longer and wavier. As the Empress, Marianne wore fashionable dresses from elegant blue colors with slightly extravagant accesories to more simple outfits such as a long orange light dress. As a knight, she wore a white older version of the britannian military uniform at battle, while using other elegant dresses at her free time. Because of her death, little is known about Marianne, besides the fact she was the mother of Lelouch and Nunnally vi Britannia, Imperial Consort of the 98th Emperor of Britannia, and a former member of Knights of the Round. She was an aesthetically beautiful woman, and as early Code Geass side materials portray her, sweet and kind-hearted, with a rebellious spirit and a deep protective instinct towards her children. Lelouch gives two examples of this: in one she rode a horse into the palace's great hall and in the other she picked a fight with several of the Emperor's other wives all at once. In a flashback from one of the novels, she uses her Knightmare Frame, the Ganymede, to intimidate a fellow consort who had been harassing Lelouch and Nunnally — all the while maintaining her friendly disposition. Later, side materials revealed her true nature as a selfish, heartless former member of Knights of the Round who helped to overthrow the previous Emperor of Britannia and install Charles as the 98th Emperor. She only superficially loves her children and will not hesitate to kill them if they get in her way, having the same beliefs of a world without lies and complete control that her husband. Her conversations with C.C., one-sided in the anime but scripted out by the staff (and actually revealed in the Nintendo DS game), show that Marianne has a playful side, often teasing the immortal girl when she tries to deny any sort of attachment to Lelouch.
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
On August 10th, 2010 the Holy Empire of Britannia began a campaign of conquest, its sights set on Japan. Deploying a humanoid weapon dubbed Knightmare Frame, Japan was quickly conquered, its rights and identity stripped away, the once proud nation now referred to as Area 11. Its citizens, Elevens, now forced to scratch out a living while the Brits live comfortably within their settlements. Pockets of resistance appear throughout Area 11, working towards independence for Japan, although without much success. However, the world's destiny changes as Lelouch, an exiled Imperial Prince of Britannia posing as a student, finds himself in the heart of the ongoing conflict. Through a chance meeting with a mysterious girl named C.C., Lelouch gains a mysterious power called Geass. Equipped with the power of the king, Lelouch may finally realize his dream of bringing Britannia down to its knees!
