[edit] Family
Marina is the only child of Frank Cooper and Eleni Andros. The couple were married in 1993 shortly before Marina's birth. They separated in 2000 after their workalic personalities led them to drift apart. After Eleni's affair was discovered, they divorced; it was an event that Marina did not forgive her mother easily for. Though she moved away and lived with Eleni in Los Angeles after her parents' break-up, she returned in December 2001 after running away from California. Though her parents considered re-uniting for Marina's sake, Eleni eventually left Springfield once more acquiescing to Marina's desire to live with her family.
