Marin was born into a small minority pure-blooded Japanese wizarding family that had lived in England for more than a decade. Long ago, during the chaotic Sengoku period, her ancestors had chosen to leave Japan, believing that remaining abroad would be the safest way to preserve the family line. As generations passed, the family rarely returned to Japan, and much of their connection to their homeland faded into stories and heirlooms.From a young age, Marin was known as a curious child, always eager to learn about anything and everything around her. One day, while exploring her father’s study, she came across a book that mentioned Mahoutokoro, the Japanese wizarding school. The discovery fascinated her. For the first time, she felt a strong pull toward the part of her heritage that had long been distant and unfamiliar.Marin, the second child among three siblings, became determined to attend Mahoutokoro. She believed that studying there would help her understand her roots and reconnect with the culture her family had left behind generations ago. After much thought and discussion, her parents agreed to let her pursue this path.Her older brother initially planned to enroll alongside her. He had been studying magic at home under the guidance of a private tutor, and the idea of attending Mahoutokoro together excited them both. However, his tutor decided that he needed one more year to complete his final course of study before he could attend a formal school. As a result, he had to postpone his enrollment.Meanwhile, Marin’s younger sister also expressed a strong desire to go with her. Unfortunately, she was not yet old enough to enroll.In the end, it was decided that Marin would travel to Mahoutokoro alone for her first year, while both her older brother and younger sister would enroll together the following year.
