Marie Curie Kjelstad is the daughter of Peter and Lillian Kjelstad. Taking after her mother, she is a striking young woman. Marie completed high school several years ahead of schedule and immediately proceeded to university-level studies. At 21 years of age, she has completed advanced studies in several sciences. Her father encouraged her wandering interests, while her mother encouraged she settle down and pick a focus.
Despite her academic bent, Marie's father was always very close to her, and spent a lot of time with her when she was younger, teaching her to shoot and hunt a bit (figuring she ought to have some skill in playing outside). She is very much a daddy's girl. Marie's relationship with her mother appears to be strained at times.
Marie is socially awkward, and often speaks her mind with little forethought to the consequences of her words. In high school, her good looks and maturity caught the eye of one of her classmates, Daniel Pershing, a senior who mistakenly thought she was close to his age (because she was in one of his classes). When he hit on her one time, she (none too quietly) informed him that she was only thirteen. The embarrassment and shame heaped upon him by his peers caused him, over time, to target Marie for later persecution. In recent years, he has been stalking her, blaming her for becoming a social pariah. The experience of having a stalker from a young age has led Marie to develop a kind of social anxiety; people tend not to like her because of her inadvertently abrasive nature, but at the same time, she doesn't like to be alone because that is when the cowardly Daniel Pershing is most apt to torment her.
She has recently developed an interest in astrophysics and astronomy, and as such, has made the acquaintance of Doug Wilson. She is currently studying with him, and he is providing her with a steady supply of not being alone and afraid of her tormentor. This has led some to believe they have some kind of intimate relationship going, but this has not been confirmed.
