:''This article is about the character from [[The Legend of Thunder!]]. For other uses of the name, see [[Marina]]''. 

'''Marina''' (Japanese: '''マリナ''' ''Marina'') is one of the main characters of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', along with {{jo|Jimmy}} and [[Vincent]]. She is a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{pkmn|Coordinator}} from [[New Bark Town]].

==History==
===Pre-series===
Marina's [[starter Pokémon]] was a {{p|Totodile}} that she [[nickname]]d [[Wani-Wani]]; she received it from [[Professor Elm]] on the same day {{jo|Jimmy}} received his {{TP|Jimmy|Cyndaquil}} and [[Vincent]] obtained his {{TP|Vincent|Chikorita}}. She entered the [[Silver Conference]] along with Jimmy a full year before Vincent competed.

===''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''===
[[File:The Legend of Thunder Part 1.png|thumb|left|220px|Marina and Jimmy in [[The Legend of Thunder!]]]]
Marina was first seen talking to Vincent on the videophone at a [[Pokémon Center]]. When she noticed Jimmy's presence, she quickly said goodbye to Vincent to give him attention. They started talking about their {{pkmn|journey}}s, and Marina said she wanted to turn all of her {{pkmn|battle}}s into a show to make people happy. When Jimmy said that {{pkmn|training}} and being a star were two completely different things, Marina challenged him to a battle to prove him wrong. During the battle, a lightning bolt struck the battlefield, scaring [[Little Miss]] and causing her to run into the woods. Marina then chased her and discovered that [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] from [[Team Rocket]] were trying to capture the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} {{OBP|Raikou|The Legend of Thunder!}}.

Upon seeing Raikou being hurt, Marina joined Jimmy to help him fight off Attila and Hun. She entered the battle with Little Miss and managed to incapacitate Attila's {{p|Skarmory}} and Hun's {{p|Steelix}}, forcing them to retreat. Later, she met [[Eusine|Eugene]] at the Pokémon Center and soon became enamored with him. When Raikou fled from the Pokémon Center, Eugene offered Marina and Jimmy a ride in his car so that they could follow it. Together with Jimmy and Vincent, she tried to keep Raikou away from Team Rocket, however, they were unsuccessful and both Marina and Raikou ended up in the shuttle. There, she found a way to unlock the door of the cargo hold and free Raikou.

Marina was tied up when Attila and Hun returned to try to capture Raikou once again. She fell from the cliff she was on, but was rescued by Jimmy's {{p|Beedrill}}. When Raikou was trapped in the force field formed by the Miracle Crystal, Marina sent Little Miss to battle Attila and Hun's Pokémon along with Eugene's {{p|Alakazam}}. She later helped Jimmy and Vincent defend their Pokémon while they were trying to break the force field to free Raikou. Once the {{pkmn|category|Thunder Pokémon}} got out of the field, Marina thanked it for coming back to save her. Having helped protect Raikou from Team Rocket and made a friend in it, Marina continued her journey to become a great [[Pokémon Trainer]].

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''===
In the opening sequence of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', Marina was seen running by the coast with {{p|Lugia}} and her three Pokémon: [[Little Miss]], [[Wani-Wani]], and Pink.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
In ''[[DP010|Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!]]'', Marina was featured on the cover of a [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazine]], modeling the [[Pokétch]]. Additionally, she made another cameo appearance in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'' in a video hosted on the official [[Pokémon Contest]] website, which [[Zoey]] showed to {{an|Dawn}}. In the video, Marina was seen delivering a [[Double Performance]] with [[Wani-Wani]] and Pink. [[Marian]] called her a [[Top Coordinator]], meaning she has won the [[Grand Festival]] and has been awarded the [[Ribbon Cup]]. Marina even appears to have her own merchandise; one of the customers of the [[Café Cabin|Mountain Hut Maid Café]] in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' wore a T-shirt with her face on it.

==Character==
Marina loves cute {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[nickname]]s. She also loves men in capes and has a whole notebook full of pictures of [[Lance]]. She tends to perform synchronized movements with her Pokémon whenever she calls them out of their [[Poké Ball]]s. She practices singing and dancing steps with her Pokémon, which gives them a dynamic rhythm in battle.

Her goal, unlike most other Trainers, is to be a Pokémon Idol. One aspect of being a Pokémon Idol seems to entail putting on a show while {{pkmn|battle|battling}}. It should be noted that in Japanese pop culture, {{wp|Japanese idol|idols}} are media personalities admired for their cuteness. Therefore, it is assumed that Marina's ambitions are somewhere along these lines, and she plans to use cute and talented Pokémon to help her become famous. Given that one of her cameos in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' was as a magazine model, it is likely that real-life Japanese idols were the basis of her character design.

Marina first appeared before the concept of {{pkmn|Coordinator|Pokémon Coordinating}} and the [[Idol (Trainer class)|Idol]] Trainer class were introduced in the games. However, she was shown to have become a Coordinator in her later appearances.

==Trivia==
* In the English [[dub]], when [[Vincent|Jackson]] appeared in the [[Silver Conference]], he referred Marina and {{jo|Jimmy}} as "Dani" and "Yoshi", leading many to believe that "Dani" was the official English name for Marina. However, it is unknown whether this was the original intention. 
* Even though the specifics of being a Pokémon Idol are never made clear in the {{pkmn|anime}}, a {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} introduced in [[Generation IV]] is known as {{tc|Idol|Pokémon Idols}}. One of them, after {{pkmn|battle}}, states, "A Pokémon idol follows their fans, while a Trainer follows their Pokémon."
* Kris is the only anime character based on a [[player character]] who has met her opposite-gender counterpart, as she is good friends with Jimmy, who is based on {{ga|Ethan}}.
