Cynical but timid underground comic book artist, Marlie Montague (26), believes the world is a dangerous place, that the truth is hidden by secrets and lies, and external appearances must always be questioned. Her fearful outlook often immobilizes her. And when it comes to romance, she believes she's just not brave enough to face the inevitable heartbreak love brings. She champions underdog causes, wishes she could be less paranoid and highly values her independence, even though she secretly longs to be part of a loving, supportive group. Her motto: always be prepared for disaster.
