Marron (マーロン Maaron?) is a fictional character from the manga Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z, and the animes Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT. seiyuu is Tomiko Suzuki. In the English dub she is voiced by Laura Bailey (in Dragon Ball Z) and by Meredith McCoy (in Dragon Ball GT).
[edit] Biography
Marron is the daughter of Kuririn and Android 18. (Though it is frequently (and wrongly) assumed she was named after Kuririn's ex-girlfriend, Maron, her name is actually a pun similar to her father's: both Kuririn and Marron mean "chestnut", although the Budokai video game series says differently, confusing many fans.) She was born three years before the Majin Buu Saga in Dragon Ball Z. As a baby and little girl, she resembles her father. She has his eyes and nose, or rather lack of nose. However, she does indeed have a nose, though small, and as she grows older, Marron begins to look more like her mother. Unlike the rest of the other Z Warriors' children, Marron is the only one who was never trained by her mother or father which means that she has never shown any special abilities or martial arts skills of her own, which makes her another background character. She cheers on her mom at the 25th Tenkaichi Budoukai, and proves to be one of the few people who can make 18 smile. Their heartwarming relationship lasts through GT, when Marron is older. Marron may seem shallow to some, as she usually finds herself longing after the finer things in life like brand new designer clothes. However when a surprise attack finds her mother and father fighting for their lives, Marron realizes that nothing is as important as family.
The daughter of #18 and Kuririn is not identified by name until the very final manga installments, when a lot of time has passed and she has gotten much older.
[edit] Dragon Ball Z
At the Tenka'ichi Budôkai Marron cheers on both of her parents as they fight in their matches. Later they must escape to Dende's tower when they learn of a new villain named Buu who eventually finds everyone at the tower, and for a short time allows them to live until he is tricked into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber (Room of Spirit and Time) while he fought Gotenks. Piccolo destroyed the door but Buu found a way out and turned everyone including Marron into candy and ate them. Dende was the only one to escape.
Later during the battle, Marron, along with the rest of Earth is wished back to life. Each individual helped, thinking that they were giving their energy to their hero Mr. Satan, this allowed Goku to collect enough energy for his Genki Dama which ultimately killed Buu.
[edit] Dragon Ball GT
Years later, Marron and the whole world become possessed by Bebi, but she and her family really do not help Bebi against Son Gokū, but it is noticeable that Marron now has the same personality traits as her mother... when they are cured of Bebi and while going to the Tsufurujin Planet to escape from Earth which would explode in two weeks, Marron tells her father to make sure they come with their shopping clothes.
Some months later while shopping, the family is stopped by Marron's uncle Android 17 who is being controlled by Doctor Myū and Doctor Gero. Android 17 tries to get Android 18 to join him in his dark quest; she was thinking of joining, but Marron's father, Kuririn, tries to remind Android 18 of her family. Android 17 quickly dispenses of Kuririn, then tries to kill Marron, but her mother stops him. Android 17 was ordered to kill Android 18 but something wouldn't let him. After being told to run away, Marron isn't seen again until the Shadow Dragon Saga in a house with her mother and with Bulma, Chi-Chi and Videl who are talking about Goku and Pan always running off.
