They divorced shortly after Marianne's birth, with the father getting full custody of the child. She lived most of her childhood in Seoul, Korea, but as she turned 18, wondered about her mother, whom she lived without until then. Since she was shy, she never really made many friendships in her schooling year, so the only people she was close to were a small circle of neighborhood friends, her father, and her pet, Sunny, a Great Pyrenees dog, that she received for her 18th birthday.<br/><br/>The two grew inseparable, even when on vacation. A year or so before the present time, Marianne, Sunny, and her father were in a horrible car accident. Sunny was able to get out with only minor injuries and helped an unconscious Marianne out of the wreck. Her father passed away on impact. Left without a parent, she grieved and longed for her mother.<br/><br/>She used insurance money to cover the funeral expenses, and used the funds from her father's will to buy a plane ticket to America, where her mother moved back to. Before heading there, Marianne hired investigators to search for her mother, and finally found her working at a boarding kennel for in the Town of Elliquiy. She traveled there along with Sunny and met her mother, who was surprised to see a South Korean girl in this medium town. After many tears and joyous surprised that her daughter had a skill and interest in taking care of dogs, she hired Marianne as an assistant at her kennel.
