Role
Mariel first encountered Chise Hatori, when she was in an auction, trying to purchase a young Dragon, from the Black Market, in order to take it back to its rightful home. Mariel, tells Chise that she can be of use to her and the two make an agreement, that Mariel would give Chise the money to buy the young Dragon, and Chise would give Mariel, Dragon's blood, after obtaining it, in return.

A short time later, Mariel goes to Elias Ainsworth's household, presumably to meet Chise again, the three go inside Elias' house. After explaination of Elias' and Chise's involvement with the Dragon, she realises that Chise is unable to give her the Dragon's blood, that she originally made a covenant to give her. Chise apologizes for this.

Mariel, then takes a look at Chise's odd-looking hand, and does a spell, to try and cure it, to no avail. Chise, explains that her hand was cursed by a dragon, after being questionned. Mariel, then asks Chise, if she is interested in becoming a Witch, and that they specialize in curses. In hope, that if Chise joined, her curse would be able to be removed.

Chise, asks Mariel, how she can become a Witch, and Mariel gives her information on how to become such, before leaving.
