Who is Marceline?
Marceline is a thousand-year-old vampire with long black hair who plays a bass made from an axe. She first appeared in Adventure Time's first season in 2010 and quickly became one of its most popular characters. Olivia Olson voices her and sings her songs, several of which reveal the character's sad history: she lost her mother in the war that destroyed the old world and was looked after, as a child, by the man who later became the Ice King. Her relationship with Princess Bubblegum, hinted at for years, became explicit in the show's final episode, and the special Obsidian in 2020 focused on the two of them.
