'''Marina Datillo''' is [[Prunella Deegan|Prunella's]] best friend. She is blind, but she is still able to do many things, such as soccer by use of a beeper in the ball for her to hear. She also loves the book series ''[[Henry Skreever (book series)|Henry Skreever]]''. | |||

Marina is notably good at yoga and joined Prunella and her mother, [[Wanda Deegan|Wanda]], in their early-morning yoga routine. Marina lives with her mother, and her father is not currently a character in the series, though it has been mentioned that he works at the Elwood City Wildlife Center.<ref name="dadquote" /> | Marina is notably good at yoga and joined Prunella and her mother, [[Wanda Deegan|Wanda]], in their early-morning yoga routine.

Marina is a rabbit with a white complexion, short brunette hair with bangs, a white shirt with a bluish-gray sweater over it, a bluish-green skirt, periwinkle socks, and umber brown shoes, and carries a white cane when she walks through town so she knows what is ahead of her. | |||

Marina sometimes acts as Prunella's mature side. She is kind, understanding, and helpful, although she hates it when people fuss about her because she is blind. This shows that she has some level of independence. She tends to master things quickly (one example is when she does a more complex move in yoga). Marina is also very athletic and plays on a soccer team. | Marina sometimes acts as Prunella's mature side.
