Marsha is a mortal who was enchanted to fall in love with Dafydd, the Cupid who fell in love with her and used his powers to steal her heart. His wrongdoing caused Marsha to devote herself completely to him. The other Cupids found out and separated them.[1]
History[]
In the early seventies, Dafydd was assigned to Marsha. She was an artist who was destined to fall in love with a banker. However, Dafydd fell in love with her and began stalking her. He also thought the banker wasn't good enough for her, so he used his powers over her to make her fall in love with him.
When his superiors found out that Marsha and her banker had not gotten together, Dafydd failed to provide an adequate explanation as to why, so Coop was sent to investigate. Coop quickly figured out what happened and reported it. As punishment, Dafydd was exiled and stripped of his ring, but not of his powers. The Cupid council had hoped that the love magic of a Cupid would overpower his twisted emotions and set him back on the proper path in his exile. Unfortunately, that did not happen. They had also hoped that he would have learned his lesson and repent for his actions. However, Dafydd never once wavered from his belief that he had done the right thing.
Marsha was then hidden from Dafydd for her protection, partly because the unnatural love she felt for him could not be undone; once a Cupid uses his powers to make a person fall in love, there is no way to undo it. Marsha was doomed to spend her life alone, loving the man who destroyed her life. Dafydd, however, believed he had every right to be with Marsha and blamed Coop for her life of solitude.
