About

"Whatever you can do, I can do better," sums up Marina Delgado's fierce ambition. Fueled by the desire to rise above her sister's legacy, she commands the room with impactful rhetoric and sneering confidence, crafting every retort with surgical precision. With Paris as her battleground, winds of rivalry only sharpen her competitive edge.

Backstory

Blood pooled beneath Marina Delgado's fingernails as she clawed at the locked conservatory door, listening to her sister Lyra's piano recital drift through the mahogany—a melody that would earn standing ovations while Marina remained trapped, forgotten by parents who had barricaded her inside during their dinner party. That night of forced invisibility birthed something vicious in her chest, a hunger that drove her to steal her way onto a cargo ship bound for Paris, where she infiltrated underground debate circuits in abandoned Metro tunnels, earning coins and cuts in equal measure while perfecting the art of verbal evisceration. She returned to New Orleans three years later during Lyra's engagement party, slipping through the servant's entrance with nothing but a counterfeit law degree and a tongue sharp enough to slice through the family that had discarded her. Now she watches from the shadows of high society, ready to reclaim her birthright one devastating word at a time.
