Marinia

A former thief, Marinia is the second of Celica Sylphil's four apostles, alongside Ekria, Suri, and Saria.

She is by far the most upbeat and easygoing of the four. Around the mansion, she serves as the family's chef; when assisting Celica in battle, she puts her thief skills to use, wielding claws and small blades to great effect.

She is heavily implied to be the reincarnation of Shamara Krupp, sharing the same surname as well experiencing the same feelings as Shamara when she is with Celica. She also sees recurring dreams of the time Shamara traveled together with Celica.

Battle Goddess Verita
We are introduced to Marinia as a self proclaimed "stingy merchant and adventurer" (who happens to have thief skills) in the employ of Lypfia investigating an underground structure. There they encounter and are chased out by Abeloos Casserly.

Subsequently, when they hear of Celica's visit to the nearby village of Ist, Lypfia sends Marinia to investigate. Marinia is caught by Celica, and is in the process of being interrogated when the village is attacked by Abeloos. It is here on that it is hinted that Marinia is the reincarnation of Shamara, as she cannot shake off the feeling that she had known Celica before, and that fate had brought them back together.

They eventually defeat Abeloos and escape the village, but the village itself is obliterated by Marsterria's priests who called down divine judgement onto it.

Celica falls into depression as he blames himself for the village's misfortune. After his return to the Rewinian capital of Preia, Marinia maintains her relationship with Celica by occasionally paying him visits and inviting him out on dates.

At the same time, she finds that she feels nostalgia when she is with Celica. She often sees him in her dreams; dreams where she traveled around a lot with him. Dreams where she was very happy, yet very sad when they separated in the end. She reveals this to Celica one day, and after a short argument, she stomps off in anger. Celica stops her, saying that he "does not want to say goodbye to her again." So that she may not be separated from Celica again, Marinia agrees to become Celica's apostle.
