| + | Marasi Colms was born as the illegitimate child of Lord Harms{{ref|b|aol|c|9}}. Through most of her childhood she was constantly reminded that she was useless to her family, useless as an heir due to her illegitimacy, and useless as an allomancer due to few uses for slowing down time. As a result Marasi has a strong desire to be important and accomplished in the world so she would feel less useless{{ref|b|aol|c|14}}. Marasi also finds criminals and law keepers fascinating, explaining that she is interested in how a person from a normal background can grow up to be so much more or less moral than the people around them. These two desires culminated in her deciding to go to university as a legal justice and criminal behavioristics major. After learning about [[Waxillium]] and [[Wayne]] as two famous law keepers from the roughs, she convinces her father to let her accompany him and Sterris to discuss a possible marriage between Sterris and Wax. She hides her illegitimacy by pretending to be Sterris' cousin. On one of these meetings the criminal group called the Vanishers attacks and kidnaps Sterris, and attempts to kidnap her, but Wax saves her. She then follows Wax and Wayne and helps them defeat the Vanishers and save Sterris. |
