In a different universe, a half Earthling half Forsaken, with similar issues, have the same abilities. Her name is Marlee. The Hatred in that universe lives inside her, making the inner monster that is sealed inside her come out. Hatred #2 had sinister plans of becoming one with the other Hatred to kill her and the other Emotion user. She declined the offer, so she creates a portal to Universe #1 to find Michael and help defeat both Hatreds before the the end of both of their universes, and their lives.
