"Bridgerton" fans were introduced to the character of Marina early on in Season 1 when she came to live with the Featherington family as a favor to her father, who was owed a debt by Lord Featherington.
Marina entered London's marriage market alongside the Featherington sisters, Phillipa, Prudence, and Penelope, and immediately drew the attention of many men (via Entertainment Daily). Marina appeared to enjoy being courted by many suitors, but her good times quickly turned sour when she realized that she was pregnant, per Polygon.
Fans were later let in on the details of Marina's life before coming to live with the Featheringtons when she told Penelope that she was in love with a soldier back home. Marina told Penelope that her love, George Crane, was fighting in Spain and that she had written to him to tell him the news of her pregnancy but had yet to receive correspondence from him.
Once Lady Featherington heard the news, she forged a letter from George, denying the child and claiming he wanted nothing more to do with Marina. Lady Featherington then told Marina that she must quickly find a husband and marry in order to pass off the baby as legitimate.
