Orphaned at the age of ten because her parents were killed by the Blue, Marlene was one of the few lucky ones to make it to Second Earth. Since then Marlene has dedicated and trained herself to defeat the Blue, taking all kind of vicious training during her early days making her lack of many female atitudes.  She doesn't understand the difference between a woman and a man, making it difficult for Yuji to deal with her. Though seeming very cold in the earlier episodes, as time progresses, Yuji opens up Marlene's emotions.

Imagine waking after spending more than two decades in suspended animation. You awaken to a world more terrifying than your worst nightmare. A world where human beings are hunted down by giant insect-like creatures called the Blue. Welcome to Earth in the year 2031...a time when the planet is no longer ours. Earth's very survival now rests in your hands.

It is unknown how long they have existed. Some sightings date back to 2017. But in the year 2031 Humankind was replaced as the dominant species on Earth. 
 
They are known only as The Blue. Many believed that the Blue were created by a rogue nation as a weapon of mass destruction. But it soon became all too evident that this was not the case. These monstrous insect-like creatures now exert their terrible will upon the planet. As a result, the remains of the human race have fled into outer space to escape the infestation of the Blue. 
 
Suddenly awakened after 22 years in suspended animation, Yuji Kaido finds himself thrust into a nightmarish reality. Yuji soon learns that the very survival of the entire human race rests in his hands.
