Marra was born at the stronghold of Lantern Keep (2), where her mother Larra O TrustyHand was the Head Engineer and her father Dorran LightChild was commanding officer of the Solar Guard (3) detachment assigned to help protect that fortress. She spent her first eight-plus-one years of childhood there, but then an upsurge in the level of ‘Chaos’ incursions locally persuaded her parents to send her — along with most of the garrison’s other youngsters — back west to ‘Westwards, Heigh!’ boarding school in Sun Valley (4) instead.
On the day before their planned departure, Marra and some classmates were playing football just a short distance outside of the stronghold’s defences when they were attacked by a mob of about a dozen Woozles (5): Marra, who had been playing in goal for the Sun Clan members’ team, uprooted one of the fence-posts that they had been using as goal-posts and used this as a cudgel with which she personally slew two of the attackers while her friends inflicted a further three fatalities in fighting off the remainder. None of the young Bears were killed in this struggle, although several were seriously injured: Marra herself was badly bitten, and the loss of blood from those wounds, which weakened her badly enough that when one of those bites turned out to have had delayed venomous effects she was bedridden for almost three months… and since then, although relatively strong for her size, she apparently have been unable to summon up the superlative level of strength which she displayed in that fight.
It was when playing for the highly successful school team at ‘Westwards, Heigh!’ that Marra came to the attention of the Smashers’ management. They offered her a place in the Smasher’s junior team the ‘Sun Valley Sunbeams’, on a part-time basis so that she could continue with her studies (which were aimed at an eventual degree in Engineering), and she promptly accepted this opportunity, starting on her dual career at an age of just under twoEights’ years. Continued demonstrations of goalkeeping prowess on her part led to a transfer into the Smashers themselves two years later, and she has played an important role — initially as a substitute goalkeeper, but during the last two years as the team’s first-choice goalie — in the team’s incredible successfulness during this period. Although relatively tall for an O TrustyHand she is barely of average height for a sheBear by the standards of her clan as a whole, but this does not hinder her ability to reach high shots and when she gets a hand close to the ball she certainly lives up to her bloodline’s name!
Marra is single and cub-less, and says that she considers herself currently much too busy to seriously consider finding a mate. She continues her Engineering studies on a part-time basis, and her other interests include chess, singlestick-fencing, jitterbugging, and old Human-made ‘film noir’ movies. Her favourite dinner is roast goose with all of the usual trimmings.

It is of my belief that our First Past the Post electoral system is fundamentally unfair, and unrepresentative of the votes of the public. Therefore, I propose that we move to a system which has been coined before as the 'Additional Member System', or AMS for short. This is a system by which a section of Parliament (usually over 50%) is elected using the traditional First Past the Post system, and the remaining proportion of the seats in Parliament are allocated proportionally to parties on a closed list basis. This system is advantageous in balancing the demands of the public for Parliament to be more representative of their actual votes, but also reducing the possibility of a coalition, therefore meaning that a government is more stable. I am filing for this electoral system to be used for all Ethanian General Elections from hereon in, and I hope that you will all join me in bringing this to pass.
Elections in Ethane are going to have an interesting twist in the future. Just yesterday, the government passes legislation to change the electoral system used in Ethanian general elections from First Past the Post to the Additional Member System. This is revolutionary for a major political party, to change an electoral system which was providing them with dividends every election, especially when they could be hit the hardest from the electoral system change. We all have to remember this government as the one that made elections fairer and more democratic, giving small parties every ability to get seats in parliament as big parties do.
With recent changes to the election system, some of you are going to be confused as to how you vote. Well, here are some simple instructions to help you:
I. On the ballot paper, you need to tick 2 boxes.
IIa. On the left, you tick the representative you want in parliament for you.
IIb. This is the First Past the Post part, so whoever you choose will be your local constituency representative in parliament.
IIc. In this vote, the candidate with the highest number of votes wins. A majority is not needed.
IIIa. On the right hand side, you tick the party you wish to support.
IIIb. The party you tick on this list vote can be different from the party the local representative you ticked is from. This is called 'split-ticket voting.'
IIIc. In this vote, the seats are divided up amongst the amount of votes, and seats are awarded proportionally to each party.
IIId. A party needs at least 5% of the vote to get 1 seat, even if a seat is not worth 5% of the vote.
IV. You may tick 1 box on each side. If you tick more than one, your vote is not counted.
V. A simple cross in the box of the party you support in pencil will suffice. Pencils will be provided.
VI. You do not need to place a vote in both ballots. You can only vote for a local representative, or only vote for a party.
The recent elections have proven to be a disaster for the new electoral system. Issues with both ballot papers not being printed has led to many people not getting their 2 mandated votes, something not very democratic at all. Even with the government issued document explaining how to vote, many people were confused as to how they should vote, leading to 15% of all ballot papers being spoilt, leading to many people's votes not counting. The government has been accused of fixing the election, as apparently the instructions on how to vote were predominantly sent out in areas which support the incumbent government. The government has been slated for this, and is now facing calls to re-run the election, either with FPTP again, or with clearer instructions on how people should vote that everyone receives. This is a disgrace to Ethane, and this election is one of the most undemocratic shambles I have ever seen.
I feel robbed. This wasn't an election. This was an undemocratic shambles. I was looking forward to the introduction of the new electoral system, which was billed as one of the most democratic moves done by a government ever, but this is the complete opposite of democracy. People were prevented from voting, people didn't have second ballots, people didn't know how to vote, and this all took place in areas which don't support the incumbent government. In all the areas that support the incumbent areas that support the government, the election ran smoothly. I feel disgraced by this move.
This election has gone surprisingly smoothly. It was highly expected that undemocratic manouvres such as the ones pulled by the incumbent government at the last election would be pulled again at this re-run, but nothing of the sort happened. Everyone knew how to vote, as they had been told finally, everyone got second ballot papers, so no one was prevented from voting. This is what democracy is. This is a massive success for the new election system, and we can now expect it to stay in place.
