About
Marlene Wallace
"Sadness was the price to see it end. It's been two years since they told me that."
—Marlene in the prologue to Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Marlene Wallace is a major non-playable character in Final Fantasy VII. She is the adopted daughter of Barret Wallace. She is voiced by Miyu Tsuzurahara and Grace Rolek in the Japanese and English versions of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, respectively, and by Sumire Morohoshi and Ariel Winter in the Japanese and English versions of Advent Children Complete.
Marlene is a bright and intelligent child who is more mature than most children her age.
Story
Marlene is the daughter of Barret's friends Dyne and Eleanor. Barret had taken Marlene in as his own daughter after his friend Dyne, his hometown Corel, and loved ones were destroyed by Shinra troops. As Marlene was less than a year old when her town was burned to the ground and her mother was killed, she has no memory of her biological parents.
In the game's storyline Marlene is four years old. She takes it upon herself to care for Tifa Lockhart's 7th Heaven bar when Tifa joins Cloud Strife and Barret on an AVALANCHE mission. Later, Shinra destroys Sector 7 and Aeris Gainsborough takes Marlene to safety while the AVALANCHE fights to defend the pillar that supports the plate above. Shinra follow her and Aeris gives herself to the Turks in exchange for Marlene's safety. Marlene is then left with Elmyra, Aeris's adoptive mother, and is later held ransom by the Shinra spy Cait Sith to force Cloud to cooperate with him on their journey to the Temple of the Ancients. Marlene appears one last time at the end of the game, sensing Aeris's presence just before the Lifestream emerges to aid in the conflict between Holy and Meteor.
Development
Marlene was originally supposed to be Barret's biological daughter and not Dyne's. Barret would have saved her from the Corel Disaster in the past. Tetsuya Nomura has said of Marlene that due to her time with Tifa, she has essentially been taken under her wing and is a "mini-Tifa" in personality, but also shares a physical similarity to Aerith and could sense her presence near the film's climax, giving her aspects of both women in her character.
