 ===In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===
 In ''[[DP010|Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!]]'', Marina appeared on the cover of a magazine, modeling the [[Pokétch]]. This may imply her goal of becoming an idol has come true. Additionally, she made another cameo appearance in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', performing in a {{pkmn|Contest}} on [[Zoey]]'s [[PC]]. [[Marian]] called her a {{DL|Grand Festival|Top Coordinator}}. This would imply she has a [[Contest Pass]] for either [[Johto]] or [[Sinnoh]]. Marina even appears to have her own merchandise; one of the customers to the [[Café Cabin|Mountain Hut Maid Café]] in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' wore a t-shirt with Marina's face on it.

-She loves cute {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and cute nicknames (Pink for her {{p|Jigglypuff}}, for instance), and does synchronized movements with them when she calls them out.
+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 do synchronized movements with her Pokémon whenever she calls them out.
-Her goal, unlike most other Trainers, is to be a '''Pokémon Idol'''.  The specifics of being a Pokémon Idol are never made clear in the anime, but one aspect of it seems to entail putting on a show while battling. It should be noted that in Japan, an "Idol" is a person who appears in media as a singer, dancer, model, and actress. 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 Diamond and Pearl series 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 debut of [[Pokémon Contest]]s, so the term "Pokémon Idol" is a unique category of its own. However, in recent appearances Marina was shown to become a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} herself. She also entered the [[Silver Conference]] along with Jimmy a full year before [[Vincent|Jackson]].
+Marina first appeared before the concept of {{pkmn|Coordinator|Pokémon coordinating}} was introduced, so Pokémon Idol is a different [[Trainer class]]. However, in recent appearances Marina was shown to become a Coordinator herself. She also entered the [[Silver Conference]] along with Jimmy a full year before [[Vincent|Jackson]].
-She also loves men in capes, especially [[Lance]]. She has a whole notebook full of pictures of him.
