Childhood Friends: Poor Mari's handler never gave much thought to this and therefore doesn't have a good answer.

She's also close to her dad and gets on really well with her stepmother, she calls Alexis 'Mum' and calls Teresa 'Mother'. Her relationship with her mother is fairly strained because the woman highly disapproves of all things magical and thus sees her daughter as flawed because Marisol is a witch.
Best Memory of Family: Her first trip to Diagon Alley with her sister. The place absolutely fascinates Marisol and she loved dragging Taryn all over the place while she explored it all.
