Later, Prince Charles expresses concerns to Leia about saving Marian since she was supposed to die, and her existence may alter other people's lives. They succeed in leaving and regrouping with Prince Charles and Prince Charming only to witness Snow White's faux execution. She tells Leia they are set to be executed in the morning, so the latter breaks both of them out of the prison. Marian relates fears about never seeing her family again and that perhaps they already think she is already dead. While spending the night as a prisoner in the Queen's castle, Marian sees another woman, Princess Leia, hauled into the cell next to hers. (" Quite a Common Fairy", " Snow Drifts", " A Tale of Two Sisters") The Queen retorts that Marian knows nothing about her wants or desires, and instead takes satisfaction in her prisoner's upcoming death. As the Queen walks away, Marian expresses pity for her, believing she is cruel because of not having either family or love in her life. Due to Marian's refusal to divulge the bandit's location, she is sentenced to execution by tomorrow. Eventually, Marian is captured by the Queen, and then is displayed to local villagers as an example of what happens to those who assist Snow White. Sometime after this, unknown circumstances transpire, in which she gains knowledge about Snow White's hideout.

As the couple happily reunite, a stray arrow from Rumplestiltskin nearly hits them, forcing the two to flee on horseback. On his way out, Robin pilfers the wand and later uses it to heal Marian. He escapes after the castle maid, Belle, takes pity on him and lets him go. While Marian is heavily pregnant and very ill, Robin risks his life by breaking into the castle of the Dark One, Rumplestiltskin, to steal a healing wand. Marian states her belief that there is goodness in Robin, and because true love is something one should always fight for. ("The Snow Queen", " Heart of Gold")Īt some point, Marian meets Will, who asks her why she is willing to do so much for Robin. Though he thinks such a life is not good for her, Marian decides to stay as long as she can be with him. Afterwards, he admits being a thief is who he is and stealing for others makes a bigger difference than stealing for himself. As for Rumplestiltskin, Robin shows Marian a six-leaf clover from Oz that he'll use to glamour himself if he ever runs into the Dark One again. Deciding to take his reputation in stride, Robin renames himself Robin Hood.

Although impressed, Marian is concerned his life is now endangered since the Sheriff will want him dead as will Rumplestiltskin since he didn't deliver the elixir.

While backed up by his Merry Men, Robin stands up to the Sheriff, taking all of his gold, and distributing it to the peasants. To pay off the taxes, Robin agrees to fetch an elixir of the wounded heart from Oz for the Dark One, Rumplestiltskin, but he ends up giving it to someone else who needs it more than him. However, they run into trouble when the Sheriff of Nottingham demands tax payments from them within two days or their business will be shut down and Robin will face jail time. After marrying Marian, Robin retires from life as a thief and opens a tavern to make an honest living. Marian and Robin fall in love with each other, much to the Sheriff of Nottingham's dismay, because he has feelings for Marian as well. The next morning, he returns to her cottage and apologizes by forfeiting his own two horses to her. Tracking him down, she threatens to shoot him with an arrow while explaining the horse's great value to her family's livelihood. As poor farmers, Marian and her family's only means of surviving are with a prized steed, which a thief, Robin of Locksley, later steals from them.
