Marin

is a recurring character in.

LADX: is a young girl who lives in LADX: with her father LADX: on LADX:. She saves LADX: when she discovers him on the LADX: after he was shipwrecked. As she bears an uncanny resemblance to Series:, LADX: confuses LADX: with her when he wakes up at her house. She is a musical woman who has many friends among NaN Humans, NaN Animals, and even monsters.

After LADX: retrieves his LADX: on the beach shore, LADX: leaves her house and stands next to the LADX: singing the "LADX:." Later on, the path to the LADX: is blocked off by a sleeping LADX:. LADX: learns from the NaN Animals in the LADX: that the lazy LADX: is fond of LADX:'s singing. LADX: goes to LADX:'s house but finds a note left by her saying that she is at the beach. When LADX: finds her at the LADX:, the two of them sit down on a log and LADX: confesses that her heart skipped a beat when she found him on the shore, believing that he had come to give the islanders a message. She goes on to say that if she were a LADX:, she would fly away from LADX: and sing for many people, wondering if her dream will come true if she wishes to the LADX:. Shortly after, LADX: declares that she wants to know everything about LADX:, but immediately laughs it off and agrees to go with LADX: to go see the LADX:.

For most of LADX:'s quest, she can be found singing the "LADX:" near the LADX:.

Along the way, LADX: and LADX: go through a series of misadventures, such as LADX: falling on top of LADX: when they both go down the LADX: and LADX: picking up the LADX: with the LADX:. When LADX: hits a LADX:, she also tells him off, and calls him a "bad boy" when he throws and breaks a LADX:. If LADX: hits a LADX: too many times, LADX: will change her attitude for a moment as if she is enjoying the moment. Once LADX: wakes up the LADX: with her singing, she goes to the LADX: and stays there to sing for the NaN Animals.

Near the end of LADX:'s adventure, some monsters kidnap LADX: while she is singing to the LADX: and place her on a rotting segment of the bridge crossing between the LADX:. Calling for help, she admits to LADX: that she is afraid of heights. LADX: rescues her using the LADX: and, for a brief moment, she begins to admit something to him, but as she is about to confess, LADX: calls and breaks the moment.

After obtaining the LADX:, LADX: can speak to LADX: to learn the "LADX:". If LADX: speaks to her again, she will thank him for all his help and tell he is the "kindest boy" she knows, revealing that she already made her wish to the LADX: but refuses to tell him what it was. LADX: also asks that LADX: always remember her and the "LADX:" when the time comes for him to leave LADX:, for if he were to forget, she would never forgive him.

When the LADX: wakes up, the dream ends and everyone, including LADX:, disappears. If LADX: manages to complete his quest without dying, LADX: is seen when the end credits are over. In, a winged LADX: can be seen flying across the screen. In, LADX:'s image appears in the sky and then slowly fades, revealing a LADX:.
