Morisawa Marine

About
Morisawa Marine is a banchou and a skilled player of the sport "bowlyball". During the events of Big Bang Age, after Wolf Fang has engaged with the Nightmare Eyes and taken over the region of Abashiry, Zanma Gou and Zanma Rouga may come to the region and visit the bowling alley there. Rouga expresses how he hates the cold and wants to leave, but Gou says he brought him here to meet with Marine and hopefully recruit her.

Shortly after, Rouga quite literally bumps into Marine. Rouga yells at her to pay more attention where she is going. Gou apologizes to her on Rouga's behalf and recognizes Marine. She is surprised that Gou knows her name, but he explains he saw her playing at a National Athletic Meet once. Rouga, however, is not familiar with Marine.

Rouga then asks Marine what bowlyball is. Marine explains it's like volleyball, but you use a bowlingball instead. Rouga doesn't believe her, thinking that using a bowling ball as a volleyball would break your arm. Marine asserts that with training you'd be okay. Rouga says that he wouldn't want to play bowlyball as he'd be too afraid to hurt his arm. The conversation then quickly escalates after Marine insults Rouga, stating that he looks too weak to play the sport. Gou attempts to de-escalate the situation, but gets rebuffed. Rouga and Marine then exhange a few more increasingly heated insults before Marine throws a bowling ball at Rouga, which barely misses him. Marine then yells at Rouga that she never wants to see him again and storms off. Although Rouga immediately regrets the course of events, he and Gou wonder if it will now ever be possible to recruit Marine.

A bit later, still raging from the events that had transpired, Marine wanders into Nightmare Eyes territory. There, Marine runs into some vampires who attempt to turn her into a vampire herself, but Marine is so angry that the vampires themselves are taken aback. Despite this, Marine does decide to join the Nightmare Eyes and starts fighting against Wolf Fang.

After Marine has been caught by Wolf Fang, Rouga visits her in the prison. Marine is still very mad and attempts to break through the bars, but they are too strong to be bent or broken by her. Marine instantly calms down when Rouga proceeds to apologize to Marine, who then apologizes in turn. With the two reconciling, Marine decides to join Wolf Fang.

After joining Wolf Fang, Marine's relationship with Rouga changes. Whereas she initially resented Rouga, Marine now finds herself falling in love with Rouga. This is difficult for Marine to deal with, however, leading to some awkward situations.

At the end of the game, Marine is shown becoming the Japanese representative for the bowlyball world chamionship.

Personality and Appearance
Marine is usually a confident, disclipined girl. She trains hard and therefore has, according to herself, a very muscular body. While she understands she needs her muscles for bowlyball, Marine wishes she could have a more girly body to hopefully appeal to Rouga. Because of her crush, Marine finds herself unable to act normally around Rouga, especially after situations like seeing his halfnaked body at the beach or getting an indirect kiss from eating a sandwich that Rouga had taken a bite from. While Rouga finds her behavior strange, he never picks up on the signs that she likes him.

Marine has shoulder-length red hair and blue eyes. She wears red bloomers and a blue and white jacket, typically associated with high school and university sports club players. She also wears fingerless gloves, a white ribbon around her head, and is holding a bowling ball.

Abilities
As Marine is a skilled player in bowlyball, a sport where you hit bowling balls around with your bare fists, it would stand to reason that Marine is a quite powerful unit. Marine is mid-range and fights using bowling balls. She approaches the enemy, jumps up and spikes a ball into them, dealing damage.

Her special skill is "Ally Hit +", raising the accuracy of all allies stationed with her in the battle.

Trivia

 * Bowlyball is called バレーボーリング (volleybowling) in Japanese. In both cases the name is a portmanteau of the sports volleyball (バレーボール) and bowling (ボウリング).
