Physical Description::
Marilyn has always been pretty in a tousled sort of way, long dark curls framing a youthful face. However, she always starts off the day looking prim and proper but within minutes is looking as if she'd slept in her makeup and just got out of bed. She can't help it, and the same goes for her clothing, always unluckily gifted with a coffee stain or something similar when she's finished teaching. Brown eyes always look honest, though, which perhaps is the reason why her students don't mind listening to her go on about her own opinions. Also, her complexion is one to be envied which leaves the girls asking 'what's your secret?'

Over-all Personality::
Marilyn is pretty bitter about her past relationships, and generalises the whole male species due to the suckiness of her past two husbands, her father, her brother, and all of her boyfriends. She's not a very neat and tidy kind of person, and is somebody you can count on to be disorganised. Really, Marilyn is quite charming despite her lack of 'cool and collected' and is a very talkative person, making conversation interesting. She gets stressed out very easily and thus loves to take the time to relax with friends when she can. Miss West is a very non-maternal figure, being who she is, and won't take crap from the girls. As well as this, though, she loves bonding with them through her stories and won't shy away from any topic of conversation their class brings up. Alot of the time, Marilyn is the butt of jokes but she's learnt to go with the flow and ignore them.

Relationship with Family::
She still keeps in close contact with both of her parents, visiting her Mum in Cardiff every few months or so to check-up on her and cringe at the hoards of boyfriends she's going through and Summer-holidaying in the bahamas (Daddy's treat) to live with his 'new family' and entertain Jazzy so that her parents can have 'some alone time'. However, she's somewhat grown out of touch with Greg, who is busy going to book signings and the likes, only exchanging a few emails from time-to-time as he ended up living out her dream and is officially the more successful sibling.

Personal History::
Marilyn was born to a nurse and a wealthy stockbroker in Cardiff, Wales, on the 2nd of May. A few years later, at the tender age of 3, her parents got divorced when Mister West was caught having an affair with a young little thing named 'Dina' who waitressed at the local pub. Deciding that he 'loved' the girl more, he left to Spain with her, leaving his ex-wife devastated and with the burden of raising two kids. Luckily, her son was a decent young man who was more than happy to help with groceries etc. - making her life just that little bit easier; Meanwhile, Marilyn was the child who still cried when she was in need and threw temper tantrums when she didn't get her way. Needless to say, Gregory became the favourite child from then on.

At school-age, Marilyn found she had a talent for English and Literature, fascinated with all types of genres and authors, excelling in the subject. Thus, her dream was realised - to become a novelist. Of course, she'd have to graduate first, and so she continued to try her hardest in school and concentrating on her studies, never hearing from her father and never receiving praise from her mother. Due to their indifference as to what was going on in her life, she started to rebel despite her being classified a 'nerd' - Marilyn began to smoke and drink and partying it up without her mother ever giving a crap.
In high school, she was thus quite popular, and she was happy - getting good grades, looking hot, and having great friends.

Of course, her world came crashing down when she heard that her brother, graduated from university now, had just gotten his book published (which, in her eyes, was a fictional story about manly men and prostitutes) and it was on sale in bookstores everywhere. He'd beaten her to what she'd been striving for all her life up until then.
So, she gave up.

She married her highschool sweetheart and decided she'd become a teacher.
Only, that didn't work out quite so well as they realised that their young love wasn't love at all (which sparked many debates about the story of Romeo & Juliet, which the jock of the man could hardly participate in anyway).

Marilyn eventually got a job as an Literature teacher at a local school in Cardiff, finding a husband in the principal; until, of course, he was fired by the Director for claims of drug use and abuse.

That relationship was over.
Married couples are supposed to tell each other everything.
There was obviously no trust between them.

However, the new principal began to 'invite' Marilyn up to his office to do some 'paperwork' despite Marilyn's refusals; so, she left. She wasn't going to put up with that.

Realising that there was nothing left for her in Cardiff bar a drunk slut of a mother, she applied to work at St. Albyn's school for girls as an English teacher (being too aggravated with the male species at the time to even teach them) and was accepted. Ever since she's loved bonding with the girls there over pigs of men and having Shakespeare as the only man in her life.
Although, it does get lonely sometimes.


School History::
Marilyn got given the job in a flash due to her actual qualifications at her previous school as a Literature teacher. She instantly became friends with her class of girls, though admittedly they'd often rather be taught English than hear Miss West babbling on about how men are bastards and cheaters and liars.

She's helped run a number of school productions (particularly of Shakespearean plays of which she is very fond) and always stresses the underlying messages in them that are so easily forgotten.
Women Rock and Men Suck.
Well, maybe she tweaks them somewhat to her own appeal without damaging the magic that is William.

There was one phase where her students teased that she was a lesbian and ended up projecting perhaps inappropriate photos of her and her previous boyfriends on the screen. She wasn't a lesbian - she just didn't need a man in her life. Not at the moment, anyway.
