In the Murkmire Malevolence, Leilatha Vencaryn baited Marigold into walking into a bear trap, but the doll tore straight through and ripped into the Elf. She returned to her station as the elf fell, but Leila was rescued by Ellenor Breatham, who shut and locked the door.
Marigold was a Living Doll synthesized by the Fold, one of many such dolls created as their Wizards learned to make vessels that could theoretically house Virathul. A Spirit-Construct hybrid created through Undead energy, Marigold was considered a failure, no more powerful than a Scarecrow with limited sentience. Though she once lived, Marigold had no memories of her life, and naive but dutiful personality.
Produced in Cliffsunder, Marigold was given to Fold initiate Alda Arkin as a gift from Vex. She was kept in Alda's office in the Cliffsunder Museum of Natural History, attacking any creatures that entered the office after-hours besides Doctor Alda herself.
