Marron

Marron (マーロン) is the human daughter of Kuririn, and Android 18.

She makes her debut in the 205th episode of Dragon Ball Z. Marron is the first child that is born before Pan and Bra but she is born long after Goten.

Background

Marron is the daughter of Kuririn, and Android 18. She is not identified by her actual name at all until the very final manga installments, when a lot of time has passed since then, and she has gotten much older. However, in the anime, she is referred by her name numerous times throughout the Buu saga. Like her father Kuririn, she was named after chestnuts; as Marron is a French word for chestnuts. She was born three years before the Majin Buu Saga and four years after the events of the Cell Games in Dragon Ball Z. As she was born a few years after Goten but long before Pan and Bra.

Personality

Marron mostly cheers on for her mom at the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament, and proves to be one of the few people who can actually make Android 18 happily smile in person. Their heartwarming relationship lasts all the way through Dragon Ball GT, when Marron is much older. Marron has a good friendship with the other children of the Z Fighters; looking up to Trunks and Son Goten as her older brothers, and spending time with Bra and Pan. Marron may seem shallow to some, as she usually finds herself longing after the finer things in life like brand new designer clothes, similar to how her mother is.

However, when a surprise unexpected attack finds her mother and father fighting for their very lives by protecting her, Marron now realizes that nothing is as important as family. In Dragon Ball Super, she serves as a motivation for her two parents, especially her father when he decides to come out of retirement. She also seems to have an admiration for her parent's extraordinary abilities, even being hinted at by 18 to possessing something similar.

Appearance

As a baby and little girl (toddler), she resembles her father: as she has his eye shape and lack of a nose. Her hair is light blonde just like her mother and she has two thick eyebrows. In Dragon Ball Super, Marron's appearance remains largely the same but her hairstyle was changed from pigtails to a mushroom style haircut.

However, she does indeed have a nose. Though it is a little small, and as she grows older Marron begins to look more and more like her mother.

Abilities

Unlike most the other Z Fighters' children, Marron was never trained by her mother or father, which means that she has never shown any special abilities or martial arts skills of her own. It is unknown if she has even learned how to fly or not. In Dragon Ball GT, when 18 suggests flying, Marron responds with "But I hate flying". This may be that one of her parents carries her though, rather than her having the ability herself. In the Japanese version, she just responds with "That will be scary".

Dende was the only one to escape, but only because of Mr. Popo, who launched him out of the lookout as a last minute act to keep Dende alive so the Dragon Balls could be used to revive the people that Majin Buu killed.

When her mother expresses her concerns about Krillin sparring with Goku, Marron asks if he is okay and if he will lose. 18 quickly reassures her, saying that her father will never lose.

Three hours before the Tournament of Power begins, Maron arrives at Capsule Corp with her parents and asks Trunks to let her see his newborn sister, Bulla.

Marron later accompanies her mother and father along with Goten and Trunks to the island preserve where her uncle Android 17 works to pick 17 up for the tournament and to take the boys to the island to protect it while he was away at the tournament as Goku had promised 17 they would to convince him to enter the Tournament of Power.

However her mother and uncle greet each other coldly, while Krillin attempts friendly conversation, but 18 tells him not too. 17 however kindly greets Marron, but mispronounces her name as "Maron" causing 18 to threaten her brother. Surprisingly Marron asks to stay on the island with Goten and Trunks, though Krillin is reluctant to leave Marron on the island as she is not strong like Goten and Trunks, but 18 points out to Krillin that Marron is tougher than he thinks. As her parents and uncle leave for the tournament, a pair of poachers watch from inside a submarine and think it's safe but one of the poachers sense that the kids are not ordinary kids.
