Marceline Penner

Marceline Penner is the daughter of Emet Penner, a career magician who used his magical prowess for entertainment rather than craft or combat. After his death, a 17 year old Marceline struggled to find a purpose in life. She resolved to join the officers academy and learn magic the same way her father did, but with no one to support her, the tuition alone was an insurmountable obstacle. Over the course of 8 years, she would come to value several momentos left behind by her late father, such as the jacket and wizard hat he would wear during shows, but none more so important than a journal he kept of his tricks. She would use this book to carry on his legacy as a performer, and after a long streak of successful gigs, she would find herself at the age of 25, financially stable enough to join the school she'd dreamed of as a teenager.

Though she was most secretive and ashamed of her late age, attending a school where the average age seemed to be 18 or 19, no one who would come to know her personally would mind. In fact, what would cause exponentially more trouble for her would be the other mage students finding out who her father was. Many of them would mock her and her fathers legacy, calling them both clowns and claiming she'd never have a future as a mage.
