Living within a small hamlet off the coast of Northumbria, Marian's world as a whole is both small, and boring. She feels out of place, like a snowstorm during the middle of Summer; a girl of ten, that asks too many questions, and dreams of things that many deem ridiculous and unattainable. Though she wished it wasn't so, she knew she would be resigned to this small world till the end of her life. Or, so she had believed.
