Story[]
Marina once worked at a general store in her hometown, where she met Olneo during his travels. She soon fell in love, and moved to Rippletide in order to marry him.
On the same day that Marina gave birth to their daughter, Tressa, Olneo established the Colzione Family Provisioners. Together, the three of them ran their family shop, until Tressa's wares were stolen by a gang of pirates. After Tressa defeated the pirates, bringing home her town's goods, she told her parents that she wanted to travel the world. Marina recognized her daughter's determination, encouraging Tressa in her path.
At the end of her journey, Tressa returned home, where she regaled her parents with tales of her adventures. Marina listened with a smile while preparing dinner.
