Marion's childhood was far from pleasant, as she grew up in a family that was not only impoverished, but with an alcoholic father as well. As the middle child, she was often left on her own, as her elder sister had no desire to spend time with her, and her mother was too busy fussing over her younger brother to pay much mind to Marion.

Family
Parents
Born to the impoverished Baron of Roth, Lawrence Burstow, and his long-suffering wife, Alexandra Burstow.
Siblings
Marion was the second of three children, being preceded by her elder sister Katherine Tolson, and followed by her younger brother, Samuel Burstow.
Spouse
Marion married Edmond Landon in 1787, the same year as her debut. The marriage was one of convenience for her; the Burstow family was surrounded in scandal at the time, and she had almost no dowry. Over time, however, she has grown to love her husband, though he certainly lacks the tenacity that Marion possesses.
Children
Marion has had five children with her husband, and they comprise one of the largest families in the Ton. She is currently busy trying to orchestrate the marriages of both Elizabeth and Juliet. While it had been her goal to have Elizabeth married off last Season, she now faces the challenge of having to have both of her daughters married off. Her children include:
Elizabeth "Ella" Landon (nee Chatswick) (daughter-in-law)
Childhood (1769-1783)
Marion's childhood was far from pleasant, as she grew up in a family that was not only impoverished, but with an alcoholic father as well. As the middle child, she was often left on her own, as her elder sister had no desire to spend time with her, and her mother was too busy fussing over her younger brother to pay much mind to Marion. As such, Marion grew up avoiding most her family, and trying to plot her way out of the impoverished existence she had found herself born in. Marion was always trying to keep herself out of trouble (something that Katherine constantly found herself in), and often plotted to get her sister out of trouble. When their mother died in 1780, Marion found herself charged with the task of taking care of her younger brother, and preparing herself for her own debut.
