Marilyn Purrington

Marilyn Purrington is an agent at the Secret Intelligence Organization.

Biography
Marilyn grew up in a middle class family in Chicago with her dad working as an ad man and her mom as an office secretary. Her family was large and she was the middle child of seven, having three brothers and three sisters. She attended college for two years, but dropped out after meeting Agent X.

She met X at age 20, shortly after his relationship with Natalya ended. Her heart totally belongs to him and she sorely hopes he will propose in the near future. Marilyn is calm and level-headed, often gently reprimanding X for his harsh and sarcastic remarks, while still letting him be the “dominant” individual (he wouldn't have it any other way regardless).

Being an agent is far from her dream job, but she pursued after X told her about the group and asked if she wanted to join. Marilyn is weak in combat and weaponry, and often complains about why she always winds up as the “damsel in distress” of the group. She makes up for her physical weakness with her smarts and quick-thinking - she is the tactical genius of the group.

At the end of the series, Marilyn reveals she's pregnant, and she and X get engaged.

Personality and traits
She is quite cheerful and optimistic. With her bright red hair and pretty face, Marilyn is considered to be the the most-attractive member of the group. Unlike X, she doesn’t drink at all, and is known to be into health foods. She is fairly liberal (more so than the rest of the six), but is reasonable in her views, although she does slap Donald Plump, inciting a riot at his rally.

Marilyn is very into fashion and owns a large wardrobe of expensive clothes, her favorite items being a mink coat, sparkly orange dress, and designer sunglasses. She can be rather sensitive and gets distressed fairly easily. Marilyn is often confused for a fox as she greatly resembles the species.

Relationships with other characters
Marilyn adores X with her entire heart and can be fairly clingy to him. She also likes Ralph and is very good friends with his wife, Chloe. Marilyn is nicer to Casey than the guys are and often tries in vain to stop them from teasing him.

She respects The Chief, but doesn't care for his womanizing, and is something of a sisterly figure to Charlene.

Marilyn's best friend outside of the SIO sphere is LuLu Tortsani, an asthmatic tortoiseshell cat she has known since she was 19.
