Marika is a Lily Type Artificial Nepleslian (Professor Template) Female with light skin, blue eyes, and silver hair.

• Height: 65kg
• Weight: 166cm

Marika has facial features typical of a Guāngzǔ (光祖), the phenotype developed for the Nepleslian Reds that is of both Nepleslian and Yamataian stock: a mix of Nordic and Japanese Yamataian, Baizu (白祖) and Hongzu (红祖), respectively, along with Core Lianjia and Sardinian Lianjia, Yuanzu (元祖) and Yuzu (裕祖), respectively. The telltale silver hair is medium length and often somewhat messy, and regularly just pulled back into a simple ponytail. Her voice is soft and mellifluous, with a warm, sweet tone. She speaks Trade with a distinct Sardinian-Mutari Lianjia accent.

Like many Lily-Types, Marika, through both her innate nature and that of her time-compressed simulated early life, has a tendency towards helpfulness, cooperation, and harmony, not unlike a Nekovalkyrja. As she was created from the Professor Template, a combination of the Empiricist Template and Mentor Template, her upbringing and education strongly encouraged her to seek out a greater understanding of all things using the scientific method, and to to seek new experiences in their lives and then disseminate them to others. She is analytically and practically-minded, with a strong mastery of deductive reasoning, an individual focused on getting to the facts and making connections based on them, but also empathetic and humane, adept at, and predisposed to, using those facts and connections to help.

Marika was born on YE 43.3.1 in Fujiko.

A Lily Type Artificial Nepleslian created with the Empiricist Template and the full Zhenren Human Upgrade Package preinstalled, her first six months were the equivalent of 21 Yamataian Years due to living in a time-compressed virtual simulation. As part of her time-compressed simulated life, Marika was a Pathfinder in the (virtual) Kikyō Scouts and attended (virtual) daigaku after school to gain degrees in emergency medicine and nursing.

Marika was chosen to be the nurse for the ISS Shiori in YE 44, and became one of the medical officers in the ISS Evenstar (Yoi-no-Myōjō) in YE 45.

She was not assigned a surname when she was created, only her given names. The given name Marika uses in any situation varies accordingly:

• Marika (Yamataigo: 真, Truth): Used in Yamataian contexts, such as officially with Yugumo Corporation. This is her legal name in the Yamatai Star Empire.
• Estella : Used among Sardinians and Mutari. She considers this to be her “true” name, and will use it among Non-Lianjia Nepleslians when outside of the Yamatai Star Empire, and nearly always among Mutari or Sardinians.
• 嫘祖; Léizǔ : Lianjia Speech (连家话 Lián jiā huà) Name, used among Lianjia who are not Mutari or Sardinians. Likely her legal name in the Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia, but who keeps track?
