In the Series
Marina is introduced as a distant cousin of the Featheringtons, moving in with them in their London based estate. It is revealed that she is pregnant by her lover George Crane, who is currently fighting in Spain, and Lady Featherington tries to marry her off as soon as possible before it becomes too obvious and may cause a scandal. But when Marina catches eyes with Colin Bridgerton, she starts to seduce him, and he even proposes to her. Because he wants to wait until the season's end, she tries to force him to marry her secretly in Gretna Green. After Lady Whistledown announced her pregnancy, Colin breaks up with her. Sir Phillip Crane arrives in London to inform Marina of George's passing, offering her his hand in marriage instead. She first refuses, but later accepts his proposal and is seen to leave London by his side.

She is depicted as ignorant, as she don't care about Penelope's feelings for Colin.
