Marsha Catley is an antagonistic noblewoman who appeared briefly in Volume 5.

Appearance
Marsha is a beautiful girl with flaxen hair and green eyes. She is noted to be on par to Mary and Sophia in terms of beauty.

Personality
Marsha is an intelligent women who loves to work and scheme in order to get things in her favor. Despite being intelligence, she is very unperceptive about the events around her, and only believes what she wants. She is very mindful of the etiquettes of high society, and always talk in deep noblewoman speech. She continues to be very possessive, spoiled and self-centered even after her family's exile.

Background
Marsha is the daughter of Marquess Catley. At the age of 8 years old, she fell in love with Prince Geordo and became adamant on using her father's influence to earn herself the position of his fiancé. When she found out the identity of the person who was chosen to be the prince's fiancé, she did everything she can to slowly ruin the reputation of that person, which unknowingly caused her and her entire family to be relocated into the far-off countryside near the border to Sorcier, in the guise of reforming territories in the kingdom. His father is stripped of his power and was relocated, much to Marsha and her mother's refusal to accept the fact and accompany him in the exile.

When she reached 15 years old, she was able to return to the capital due to her obligation to enroll in the Magic Academy. She has attempted to concoct a scheme that will help her seize Prince Geordo for herself. The plan failed, and she is last seen kindly offering food to Katarina.

Marquess Catley
Marquess Catley had become cold towards to his daughter, as her behavior had caused them to be exiled into the border of the country. He is upset at his daughter for causing them to be exiled, but had to accept their family's punishment in order to take responsibility for her actions. Marsha's ignorance about the reason for their exile leads her to act the same to her father; constantly pestering him about wanting to go back to the capital and wanting to see Prince Geordo. Marquess Catley allowed her to return to the capital early for her enrollment in the Magic Academy, with the condition that she "lay low and do nothing problematic".

Katarina Claes
Katarina is Marsha's self-proclaimed rival in love. Marsha hates Katarina for claiming Prince Geordo as her fiancé just as she had planned to become a princess candidate. After returning to the capital after her family's exile, hearing the rumors about the circumstances of Katarina and Geordo's engagement fueled the fire of Marsha's hatred even further. When Marsha confronted Katarina about renouncing her engagement, she became angry at her rival's silence, assuming she was being belittled (in reality, Katarina could not understand the deep noblewoman speech she was using).

Believing that Katarina is forcing Geordo and Keith to her side in shackles, Marsha schemed a plan to publicly humiliate Katarina in order to ruin her reputation in high society and end her engagement. After Marsha's planned failed, she was confronted by Geordo and Mary who was about to punish her, until Katarina stopped them herself and ushered Marsha to retreat (in reality, Katarina was merely daydreaming). Marsha was touched by Katarina's mercy despite her initial intentions against her, leading her to treat the duke's daughter kindly and is seen to offer her favorite food whenever they are together in a ball's buffet.

Geordo Stuart
Marsha immediately fell in love with Geordo due to his outwardly princely nature, and she became obsessed with securing him as her own. She continuous to be madly in love with him even after being unable to see him for seven years. She is convinced that the prince feels the same way for her, which further motivated her to ruin his engagement.

As Marsha's plan to humiliate Katarina failed, Prince Geordo decided to confront her about his feelings for his fiancée and the truth about her family's exile, leading to all of her beliefs and fantasies about the "perfect prince of her destiny" to crumble to the ground. After the event, she began to fear the sadistic prince, calling him a "prince who turned out to be a devil". Presently, she would run away in fear as soon as she seems him.

Lilia Hunt
Marsha and Lilia had been acquainted, and eventually became good friends before the Catley's exile. After moving to the countryside, she had seemingly lost touch with Lilia.

Magic
Marsha has magical aptitude, meaning that she is able to use magic. According to her, she has a high aptitude for magic.

Trivia

 * On every instance that she sees Katarina eats, she is convinced that she is hallucinating, unable to believe that a duke's daughter would stuff her moth with food. Every time she sees is happening, she gets a feeling of deja vu.
 * The reason why Marsha offers Katarina food during balls after the event, whether it is admiration, gratitude or love, is unclear and is open for interpretation.
