She wears a long green sweater, a long sleeved dark dress, a slim black leather belt, black tights, and black sandals. Marle is an older woman with a slender physique, fair skin, blue eyes and long light gray hair tied in a large spiky bunch behind her head. Īfter Cloud's party defeated the Whispers, Marle helped with the Sector 7 clean-up effort. She was extremely grateful and assured the group that the money would be put to good use. Cloud, Tifa, and Barret secured money from the " Angel of the Slums" intended to be used to rebuild Sector 7, and gave it to Marle. During " In Search of Hope", Marle stayed at Evergreen Park in Sector 6 with the other Sector 7 survivors. She was relieved to see Tifa had survived, encouraged her to return to Seventh Heaven, and warned her about maneuvering the ruins.
ĭuring " A Broken World", Marle led a rescue party into the ruins of the Sector 7 Undercity. She attempted to warn Aerith about heading toward Seventh Heaven, but was ignored. Aerith rescued Betty and brought her to Marle. Marle asked if Aerith was Avalanche, told her to tell Tifa to lay low, and that they'd take care of things. Marle calmed a pair of angry neighborhood watch members and declared that they needed to help with evacuations. Marle was among the crowd and asked Aerith what was happening, who answered that their was "still time", and thus she deduced that the plate was going to fall. Aerith, on her way to rescue Marlene, told the residents of the Sector 7 slums to evacuate. Yuffie again denied, saying she did not know who he was, and was just asking for directions.ĭuring " Fight for Survival", Shinra attacked the Sector 7 pillar and intended to drop the plate. Yuffie denied this and Marle asked if Yuffie was there to peek and admire Cloud. Some time later during " Wutai's Finest" as part of The Happy Turtle Ad Campaign, Marle caught Yuffie attempting to take down a Happy Turtle poster at her apartment and suspected she was one of the people hassling the Happy Turtle. Marle directing the evacuation of the Sector 7 slums during Shinra's attack. Shortly afterward, Marle told the two of them to take care, commented on Tifa's chipper appearance, and spoke some kind words to Cloud.
Cloud affirmed the statement, but she asked if he truly listened to her, thought of her and her feelings, or was just "going through the motions". Cloud prepared to go upstairs, but she stopped to tell him that Tifa needed a "real friend". Marle asked if they could swap their filters. Once Cloud and Tifa finished their work, they returned to the apartment and were again greeted by Marle surprised to see them back so early. Marle asked if he was getting enough sleep, paid Tifa, and told her not to do anything she wouldn't. She told him to take care of Tifa and harshly criticized him for his lack of charm, wit, and skill. She was happy to see Tifa, but asked why Cloud was there. She then encouraged Cloud to head for Seventh Heaven.Ĭloud and Tifa later delivered water filters to Marle. Marle remarked that Tifa was the "granddaughter she never had" and threatened him should any harm come to her. She told him that he could speak to her about anything, even Tifa, which prompted him to defensively question what Tifa meant to her. ĭuring " Home Sweet Slum", Marle introduced herself to Cloud and asked if he liked his room and if he was from the plate. She helped Tifa when she arrived in Midgar and came to view her as a granddaughter. Marle owned an apartment building at the Stargazer Heights in the Sector 7 Undercity.
