Marlee Marks is the queen bee of her unit. She's there after a trauma that evolved from bullying occurred, scarring her for life, physically and mentally.
Marlee Uriah Marks had always been the "lowlife", shall we say, of Rudderville High School. Nicknamed "Mummy Marlee" by her peers, she was teased and pushed around until one day it went too far. The ringleader had pushed Marlee to the ground and punctured her stomach with a knife, ripping it down from her rib cage to her belly button. She left the knife in Marlee's stomach and left with her followers. A few hours later one of the kids from school came back to get her, carrying her inside to a teacher, who brought them to a hospital. There the classmate explained what happened while the doctors brought Marlee into surgery and removed the knife before doing their best to patch her up. The police identified the ringleader by fingerprint and arrested her before sending Marlee to the rehab hospital a few months later when she was found to have deteriorating speech and limited interaction with other people.
Vincent Mason, Marlee's rescuer, visited her every day in the hospital and he was also found to have a lack of human interaction and deteriorating social health, so was sent to the rehab center with Marlee. It was unanimously decided they should be in the same unit, so if they ever spoke they could have someone to share memories with.
Marlee discovers a ballroom, and it brings back bad memories. Soon she shows Vincent, trying to solve the problem, and he begins to teach her a way to express her feelings of pain and hate through something good.
