Marielle[1] is a minor character in Final Fantasy VII Remake: Picturing the Past, mentioned and named in Final Fantasy VII Remake Traces of Two Pasts. She was Aerith Gainsborough and Ifalna's caretaker in the Shinra Building, and the mother of Aerith's childhood playmate, Lonny.
Marielle was responsible for the laundry and chores for Ifalna and Aerith. As well as being paid for the job herself, her son Lonny was also paid, although he did not learn this until he was older and more responsible with money. When Geddie Bach arrived at 10 AM in the morning to pick up Ifalna, Lonny kept Aerith preoccupied the rest of the day.[2]
Marielle was present when Aerith's powers were awakened. After embellishing a story about encountering a monster, Lonny drew a wererat he had seen, egged on by Marielle. The drawing caused Aerith to be lost in thought staring at it, as she then grabbed the pen and pad and drew faces, flowers, trees, animals, and a number of images that began pouring into her head. Geddie and Professor Hojo then stepped in, declaring Aerith had awakened. Marielle apologized, realizing what would happen to Aerith thereafter.[3]
