Marjorie is Lorin's foster mother, a gentle woman who works as a weaver in a textile factory. She has lived in the slums with Lorin for fifteen years, raising him in poverty. She is beautiful despite her worn clothes, with flaxen hair. She keeps Lorin's true identity a secret, as she promised his father's adjutant. She sacrifices her own comfort for Lorin and works day and night. When the Herenna family comes to take Lorin away, she lets him go with love, even though it breaks her heart. She gives him a malachite pendant as a symbol of their bond. She remains in the slum but is promised support from the Herenna family. Her hard work and love shape Lorin's character.
