Marion/Series

Pre-Series
Sometime during her youth, Marion met Oritel, most likely through an arranged marriage, which is a long upheld tradition in the Domino Royal Family as revealed in the movie, Magical Adventure. The two presumably enjoyed a happy, love-filled marriage together, during which they bore two daughters: the eldest they named Daphne and the youngest, Bloom.

During her reign as queen, the Ancestral Witches had uncovered the location of the Dragon's Flame on her realm. Aware of the destruction and death that the Witches often left in their wake, Marion established the Company of Light, a group of fearsome magical warriors, alongside her husband and king, Oritel. Those who joined the Company of Light alongside them were Hagen, Faragonda and Saladin. Griffin would later join their ranks after fleeing from her previous alliance with the Witches and their son, Valtor. Marion would go on to engage in countless battles against the Ancestral Witches with the Company of Light until their eventual raid on Domino after managing to foiling one of Oritel's plans to ensure the realm's safety.

As Marion and the Company of Light tried to fend off the Ancestral Witches, they were left to face off against Valtor as the Witches raided the royal palace. Daphne, her eldest daughter, teleported Bloom to Earth where the Witches would never find her or the Dragon's Flame, which she had already transferred over to her.

The Company of Light fought against the Ancestral Witches and their forces with all their might until they were successful in defeating them. Unfortunately, Marion could not celebrate their victory as both her daughters were presumably killed in the attack; Daphne was reduced to a spirit without a body and Bloom was nowhere to be found.

Just as the Company of Light prepared to do away with the Witches for good by banishing them into the dark realm of Obsidian, Oritel was dragged into the portal with the Witches. Refusing to abandon the only family she now had left, Marion cast a spell to transfer her spirit inside the blade of her husband's sword. Additionally, the overwhelmingly negative energy pouring out from the Obsidian portal sucked in all the surviving inhabitants and froze the realm over.

Inside the realm of Obsidian itself, Marion remained dormant inside Oritel's sword as her husband and the rest of her people were petrified in black stone.

Season 2
Marion is first seen in the episode "Professor Avalon's Secret" in a dream of Bloom's. In this dream, Bloom reaches out to silhouettes of Marion, Oritel and a young Daphne with the arms should have had as a baby. Suddenly, the royal family's crest comes into view as a melody is heard, which causes Bloom to wake up gasping.

The next morning, Bloom tells Professor Avalon about her dream, which he explains was about something that "touched her heart," and agrees to help Bloom discover more of her birth parents and origins when asked. Later into the episode, Marion's name is shown alongside Oritel's on a crystal containing the Domino Royal Family Tree just about Daphne and Bloom.

Marion appears again in the episode "The Spy in the Shadows" as part of Bloom's magical journey into her subconscious during a session with Professor Avalon. In it, she appears alongside Oritel and the Great Dragon before an ominous smoky mass appears before Bloom, clouding around her and sending her into a panic that breaks her out of her journey.

Season 3
Throughout the third season, Marion is mentioned at various points as Bloom laments over being the sole survivor of Domino's downfall. With no other beings from Domino to sacrifice herself for, she had no chances of earning her Enchantix and become a full-fledged fairy. Additionally, Valtor, having been freed from the Omega Dimension, now seeks to exact his vengeance towards Domino's monarchs onto their surviving child.

Marion's image is not seen until the episode "Fury!" where once Bloom remains as the only one of the Winx still standing against Valtor at Cloud Tower, Valtor recounts the demise of both Marion and Oritel to further enrage Bloom.

He claims that he had separated the pair and ensnared Marion in the grip of a giant hand that emerged from the ground below her. Oritel quickly arrived to try and rescue her but, as he tried to release the grip around Marion, Valtor snuck up behind the two and dealt the finishing blows.

Later, when the Winx confront Valtor with the Water Stars in "The Wizard's Challenge," Valtor changes up his story before the Winx can vanquish him. Fully aware of Bloom's desperation to find her birth parents, Valtor claims to have absorbed both Marion and Oritel into his body, where they remain alive but trapped, to pressure Bloom into letting him go as his death would mean the deaths of her birth parents. Bloom reluctantly does so, only to learn of how both Valtor's claims were lies from the Ancestral Witches themselves in "Witches' Revelation."

By the season finale, Bloom believes herself to be ready to resume the search for her birth parents in spite of her incomplete Enchantix powers. As she vows to do so, she looks up into the sky to see the image of Marion and Oritel amongst the stars.

Season 5
With Domino having been restored a bit over a year ago, the realm has slowly begun reassuming its role as a prominent and powerful realm within the Magic Dimension. As such, Queen Marion continues to lead her people toward that goal.

By the episode "Test of Courage," Marion helps organize the Domino Renewal Ceremony at the royal palace to give thanks to Sky for saving her kingdom. Due to it being such an important event, Bloom, the realm's sole heir, and the Winx, the ones also responsible for the realm's restoration, attend the Renewal Ceremony as well despite being pressed for time thanks to their Sirenix Quest. Tecna and Musa, however, stay behind to find clues concerning the whereabouts of the Gem of Courage.

Though she and Oritel give their thanks to Sky, he cannot remember meeting them, let alone saving them, thanks to his amnesia. Once Bloom and her friends need to rush out of the Ceremony upon finding out that the final Gem needed for their Quest lies somewhere on Domino, Marion allows them to leave as Sky is made to stay to cover for her. So, as the girls journey to the Yellow Reef, Marion and Oritel finally commence the Ceremony but, just as they present Sky with the Sword of Domino, the Trix crash it and attack everyone in sight. Marion and Oritel prove themselves to be formidable against the Trix, having fought worse enemies than them but, unfortunately, the two monarchs fall prey to one of the Trix's deceptions, which leaves them unguarded and open to an attack. They are then frozen by the Trix and used as hostages to pressure Daphne into revealing everything she knows concerning Sirenix. Luckily, the Winx arrive just in time to drive the Trix back and Marion and Oritel are reverted back to their normal selves thanks to the combined powers of Bloom and Sky through the Sword of Domino.

The Shadow Phoenix
Similar to her appearance in the episode "The Spy in the Shadows," Marion appears alongside Oritel within Bloom's subconscious magical journey during a session with Professor Avalon. They appear at the end of a tunnel made of smoke and call out to Bloom, who is ultimately unable to reach them when the image of a Dragon appears above them.

The Secret of the Lost Kingdom
Following Valtor's defeat, the Winx pick up the search for King Oritel and Queen Marion with their first major step being to seek out Hagen, a former member of the Company of Light and the one responsible for forging the Sword of Oritel. However, when they do find him and bring him back to Alfea, Hagen tries to discourage Bloom from looking any further. Though he is both relieved and surprised that one of the realm's royal heirs managed to survive the raid, Hagen believes everyone else, including Marion, to have died with Domino's downfall, and does not wish to see Bloom search in vain.

Hagen's words deeply wound Bloom but, after receiving comfort from Sky and her friends, as well as a dream showing her the true fate of Marion and Oritel, Bloom decides to continue the search. With Daphne's Mask and the location of the Book of Fate in mind, Bloom, the Winx and Specialists head out for Domino to find the Book. After the group manages to pacify the Roc and enter the library on its back, they are met by Bartelby, the spirit of the royal scribe as appointed by Oritel, who shows them to the Book of Fate. In it, the Winx learn bits of Marion's life, from her marriage to Oritel to the formation of the Company of Light, as well as how all the inhabitants of Domino survived the realm's downfall but remain trapped within the nightmarish dimension of Obsidian.

Eventually, after being stalled by Mandragora, Keeper of the Obsidian Circle and faithful servant to the Ancestral Witches, the Winx manage to enter Obsidian and combat their worst fears as the Witches try to possess their bodies. They then show Bloom the figure of a man encased in stone reaching out towards a sword stuck in a spire of stone just in front of him and, to her horror, the man is Oritel himself, meaning that the sword just out of his reach is the one which Marion remains trapped in.

Sky, who enters Obsidian moments later, grabs hold of Oritel's sword and seemingly perishes as only a "crownless king" can wield it, which causes Bloom to succumb to her feelings of despair and loneliness as the last one standing. However, Daphne's spirit reminds her of how she is never alone, which prompts Bloom into wearing her sister's mask one more time. Through it, Bloom and Daphne combine their powers and blast away the Ancestral Witches while Sky, who had been coronated the night of the Winx's graduation, regains consciousness and helps destroy the Obsidian Dimension by releasing the Sword of Oritel. With Obsidian destroyed, Domino is reverted back to its former glory as all its denizens are freed. Once Oritel is free, he grabs hold of his sword to free Marion, and the two reunited with their long-lost daughters. Initially upset with how Daphne had been rendered a spirit, Marion and Oritel remain overjoyed nonetheless, and go on to promise Bloom that though they were not there for the first part of her life, they will make sure to be present for the rest of it.

Marion, now able to physically hold Bloom once again, praises her for being a beautiful princess, her little girl and precious daughter with a good heart and a strong will.

Later that day, a party is held on Domino to celebrate its restoration and its royal family's reunion. Here, Marion meets Mike and Vanessa, Bloom's foster parents, and thanks them for all they had done for their daughter.

Magical Adventure
With the kingdom of Domino revived and the royal family reunited, Marion begins trying to take on the role of an active mother to her youngest daughter, Bloom.

She is first seen taking her out to the palace gardens with Oritel to gift her with Peg before retreating back into the royal palace to let Bloom spend the rest of the day enjoying herself. By the end of the day, Marion witnesses Sky propose to Bloom and eases Oritel of his worries by reminding him that he proposed to her in the same way. However, after two days of making preparations for Bloom and Sky's upcoming wedding (with Marion preparing her daughter's wedding dress), news of Sky inexplicably canceling their wedding and ending his engagement with Bloom reaches the royal palace.

Though she is just as confused as everyone else, Marion tries to calm Oritel down as he flies into a rage and, unfortunately, she is unable to successfully calm him down, as Oritel decides to bring back the old tradition of conducting a selection process to find a prince that he can approve of to marry Bloom. He continues to go on with the process despite Bloom's wishes and Marion's advice, though, Marion remains as a caring hand to Bloom, who is clearly distressed by this sudden turn of events.

Once Bloom finally decides that enough is enough and flees to Earth with the Winx after Oritel bans Sky from setting foot on Domino, Marion somehow gets a hold of the note Erendor entrusted to the recently banished prince and reads it. She then hands the note over to Oritel to stop him from ranting and make him realize that the two of them owe Sky an apology.

Eventually, she and Oritel travel to Earth themselves, where they meet Mike and Vanessa, Bloom's foster parents, in the hopes of learning how to better understand their youngest daughter since they missed out on the many crucial stages of her early life. The two monarchs then sit down to watch a slideshow of Bloom's childhood and become more grateful to Mike and Vanessa than they ever were before.

Shortly after thanking Mike and Vanessa, Bloom and the Winx return to her Gardenia home to find her birth parents there. Marion remains quiet and watchful as Bloom chews out Oritel, refusing to listen to him in a similar manner to how he treated Sky, before she and her friends leave for Eraklyon to save the Magical Universe's positive magic.

Since she is not seen for the rest of the movie, it is safe to assume that Marion simply returned to the Domino Royal Palace as Oritel left for Eraklyon himself to patch things up with both his old friend and his only surviving daughter.
