Marine the Raccoon

Marine the Raccoon is a hyperactive female Mobian raccoon and sailor. She's a resident of Seagull Island, is a lover of excitement and constantly seeking adventures.

Meeting with Sonic and Tails
Marine first came across Sonic and Tails after they crashed their plane in a storm. After doing a quick check-up, she determined them to have "a clean bill of health" and quickly recruited the two on her crew with her acing as captain. Sonic ignored her, but Tails remained interested and asked about what kind of adventure she was talking about. She told him about pirates that had landed a few days ago, and the treasure that they're after. Sonic was now interested as well, but Tails was curious about what they were after. Marine then produced a Chaos Emerald she found saying it was the treasure. When asked if she knew what exactly it was she was holding, she replies "Duh! It's a giant, pretty gem!" Moments later it was stolen right out of her hand by Johnny - a tall, green, speedy robot pirate. Marine and her crew then went in pursuit of him to retrieve the emerald. (StH: #180)

Meeting up with Blaze the Cat, the four went in pursuit of Johnny. Eventually, the group discovered Captain Whiskers and Johnny, battling them as well as Dr. Nega, who organized the theft of the Chaos Emerald. The battle resulted in the Chaos Emerald being retrieved. Tails then constructed a ship to get himself and Sonic back to Mobius Prime, while Sonic gave Blaze the green Chaos Emerald so she could locate the missing Sol Emeralds. (SU: #1)

Meeting with Shadow
Some time later, Marine and Blaze were onboard her ship, the Ocean Tornado, when they discovered Shadow the Hedgehog nearly drowning in the ocean. Bringing him on board, Marine offered him a towel to dry off while Shadow explained how he and Metal Sonic ended up in their universe. Blaze and Marine then explained how they knew about Sonic, telling Shadow their encounters with him. Marine largely embelished the truth when explaining how they defeated Captain Whiskers, claiming she "went all crazy on 'em and saved the day", and also claimed to have build the ship which returned Sonic and Tails to Mobius Prime. In reality, Marine simply "supervised" while Tails built the ship. The trio soon found out that Metal Sonic was attacking Southern Island, looking for Eggman. When Blaze's attack failed to work, Marine jumped on Metal Sonic's back and began hitting his head, with no effect against the machine. Shadow was unable to attack it while Marine was on its back, but eventually she was thrown off. After Shadow failed to convince Metal Sonic to disobey Dr. Eggman, he and Blaze damaged the robot and sent him flying into the air, at which point Marine used the cannons on the Ocean Tornado to completely destroy Metal Sonic.

Personality
Marine is rather scatterbrained and so often acts before she thinks. She is relatively bossy and attention-seeking, and is also rather brash and pushy. She also has a habit of exaggerating stories. (StH: #180, SU: #1)
