Marita (like most Buchan and especially Zphinx children of her era) was an orphan living under Sellsnake control. She was considered an "Esso thief" where she would pickpocket and steal from vendors and was praised for her quickness and slyness. She eventually grew interested in the development of firearms and stole a pistol from a traveling Jing Li officer. She learned how to use it and became unstoppable. She challenged the Rattlesnake, leader of the Sellnakes, to a draw, and she came out victoriously. 

She married Alma Ferguerro, and with their partner Anbessa Barosso had three children in total together. She prides herself on being a mother and is extremely protective of her children, especially her daughter Martyna who was the child that she birthed. Ultimately, the two separated and Marita remained with Anbessa in Buch del Santo.
