In ''[[DP010|Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!]]'', Marina was featured on the cover of a [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazine]], modeling the [[Pokétch]]. Additionally, she made another cameo appearance in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'' in a video hosted on the official [[Pokémon Contest]] website, which [[Zoey]] showed to {{an|Dawn}}. In the video, Marina was seen delivering a [[Double Performance]] with [[Wani-Wani]] and Pink. [[Marian]] called her a [[Top Coordinator]], meaning she has won the [[Grand Festival]] and has been awarded the [[Ribbon Cup]]. Marina even appears to have her own merchandise; one of the customers of the [[Café Cabin|Mountain Hut Maid Café]] in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' wore a T-shirt with her face on it.

Marina loves cute {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[nickname]]s. She also loves men in capes and has a whole notebook full of pictures of [[Lance]]. She tends to perform synchronized movements with her Pokémon whenever she calls them out of their [[Poké Ball]]s. She practices singing and dancing steps with her Pokémon, which gives them a dynamic rhythm in battle.

Her goal, unlike most other Trainers, is to be a Pokémon Idol. One aspect of being a Pokémon Idol seems to entail putting on a show while {{pkmn|battle|battling}}. It should be noted that in Japanese pop culture, {{wp|Japanese idol|idols}} are media personalities admired for their cuteness. Therefore, it is assumed that Marina's ambitions are somewhere along these lines, and she plans to use cute and talented Pokémon to help her become famous. Given that one of her cameos in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} was as a magazine model, it is likely that real-life Japanese idols were the basis of her character design.

Marina first appeared before the concept of {{pkmn|Coordinator|Pokémon Coordinating}} and the [[Idol (Trainer class)|Idol]] Trainer class were introduced in the games. However, she was shown to have become a Coordinator in her later appearances.
