Overview

Marine the Raccoon (マリン・ザ・ラクーン Marin za Rakūn) is an energetic, adventurous, and talkative racoon girl that lives in the Sol Dimension with Blaze the Cat. She first appeared in Sonic Rush Adventure on the Nintendo DS, and besides a some cameos in a few games, she only really appeared in one game. Despite this the official Sonic Japanese website, Sonic Channel, has a profile for her.

She is also the youngest character along with Tails, Cream, and Charmy.

Personality

Like a real raccoon, she likes to keep clean (however, this is a myth, and actual raccoons are not clean), and she does not like cold places, probably because she was raised in the tropics. She is also a good communicator, easily taking to Blaze, who tends to be shy because of her position as a princess, and interacting actively with the island's residents.

However, while she is active and emotional like a child, she is also a bit selfish and self-indulgent, and perhaps because she lives on a small island, she yearns for adventure.

In English

Marine is given an exaggerated Australian accent and uses terminology from there in almost every sentence.

In Japan

She speaks in a Kansai dialect, using the informal first person pronoun uchi (ウチ), used often by younger women.

Mission Strategy: Marine's Room

In Mission Strategy: Marine's Room (ミッション攻略「マリンの部屋」), a official blog for the Japanese Sonic Rush Adventure website, she teaches strategies for mission events, but the content is full of self-deprecation (in the Kansai dialect).

However, the content of the blog suggests that she has been through the adventure, and her kindheartedness and caring nature can be felt in every line of her dialogues.
