Personality: Marine is... extreme. She's loud, she's pushy, and to a lot of people, she's just annoying. However, she is very adventurous, fearless, and inventive.

She's a bit over-confident and lacking effective empathy. She doesn't seem to relate to people or their problems as much as she does her own. Whatever she feels like doing always takes precedent over what would be better for her friends or even the greater good. She's been known to march straight into trouble despite any warnings or advice to do otherwise. Even if it puts her in danger, she'll do it. In that sense, she's also a bit stubborn. Her recklessness may stem more from poor judgment than haughtiness, though.

The first thing one would notice about Marine is probably how loud she is. She's almost always yelling and many of the things she yells are orders. Since she has gone without parents or direct supervision, she hasn't had to practice good discipline. She is constantly barking orders at her koala neighbors, for example. They nervously comply, so she has no real reason to stop. Though she's gotten better since her big adventure with Blaze the Cat, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Tails, she's still prone to being pretty pushy.

She's also simply hyper in general. She has tons of energy to spend and is very driven to achieve her dreams and goals. Her biggest dream is to explore the world by sea. Well, seeing as how up until recently she wasn't entirely aware of places to go that were inaccessible by sea, she may have redacted that last bit and expanded her dream to include flying and even hiking, too. It's just that getting there by sea would be the easiest for her considering she's very familiar with the ocean, having grown up on Windmill Island, and because she's had a lot of experience building waterborne ships. ...Building and crashing ships, that is.

She has talent. She was able to construct a working ship by herself and aided Tails when he helped them develop better watercrafts. Naturally, being only 9 years old, she has a lot to learn still, but that definitely won't keep her from trying and learning. So much of her drive stems from how miserable she is on her home island, she's practically guaranteed to construct a working ship to escape her island before she accomplishes any other milestone in her life. Even if she did finally get away, her drive would be ever present; she's realized it's a hobby she really enjoys, and if she winds up somewhere that doesn't have bodies of water, she'll just build a different vehicle type. After all, she has watched Tails build a really impressive ship capable of crossing dimensions.

Though she was only capable of observing while Tails constructed the SS Tornado EX, she has the attitude of someone who did the entire thing herself. Everyone must know how talented, smart, capable, and strong she is. It's a big reason she orders the Koala Crew around: it gives her a chance to exercise dominance. Her brashness and self-centeredness aren't entirely conscious traits; she simply can't stand the thought of anyone thinking she's at all incapable of doing the things she wants to do. She feels that if anyone doesn't believe she's good at what she does, they will make fun of her, ditch her, or just be mean in general. It's a very touchy subject that causes her to get very, VERY defensive.

On a similar note, she's not very self-aware and doesn't really understand when she goes too far and makes herself unlikable. When you think about it, she had no reason to think it put anyone off until recently; she had no family to tell her it was a bad way to behave, and any other people she interacted with just tolerated it no matter how loud she got. It only became apparent to her (only slightly apparent, but still...) when she tried to tag along with Sonic, Tails, and Blaze on their quest to stop Eggman Nega. They kicked her off the team, and after Marine tried to get Blaze's lost scepter back on her own, Sonic and Blaze had to rescue her and teach her that pushing people around and storming off into danger is the kind of behavior that will cause her to lose friends. It was only when she agreed to work with them as a team that they welcomed her back. It was a humbling experience, and she's calmed down significantly since then. Her strength of character is still firmly in place, but she's more considerate and toned down than she was before.

Abilities:

• Intelligence: she's very bright when it comes to mechanics. She's able to construct large crafts with minimal available materials. They don't always function properly, but the fact that she comes close at such a young age and without any proper training is a big indicator of her capabilities.
• Possible water powers: while not explained in the events of Sonic Rush Adventure, she was definitely capable of summoning SOME kind of magic power to turn the tide of battle. It can be assumed the power is made up of water due to the fact that she has a similar naming convention to Blaze the Cat, who appropriately possesses fire powers.
• Able to "speak" to dolphins and possibly other marine animals: she was able to convince a group of dolphins to let her and Tails ride around on them, so there has to be something of importance there

Other: She has a really bad Australian accent in canon.
