As contestants of the tournament enter the field, one of them, a "stork", walks over to Marian, gives her a flower, and expresses his hopes of winning the match. She and Lady Kluck sit in a grandstand alongside Prince John and Sir Reginald (who is Little John in disguise). Marian is next seen at Prince John's archery tournament, where she is to give a kiss to the winner. Later, in her room, Marian expresses her worry that she has been away so long that Robin has forgotten about her, despite Lady Kluck's attempts to reassure her. After speaking of her past relationship with Robin Hood, she joins in the children's role play of Robin rescuing her. She is described as being "awful nice" ("awfully nice", actually), and the children approach her without fear. She invites a group of children, including Skippy, his two siblings, and friend Toby, to come to her when she discovers Skippy trying to retrieve an arrow, and later finds the rest of them outside the gate. Maid Marian is first seen in the courtyard of Prince John's castle, playing badminton with her lady-in-waiting, Lady Kluck. Her wedding outfit is basically a white version of her normal outfit, while her brooch remains unchanged. On her head, Marian wears a simple, lavender-colored, present-shaped headdress that covers her ears and wears a light pink veil just on top of that. On her high collar is a Gold brooch with a blue gem (probably a sapphire in it) held in place with a purple ribbon around her neck, and she wears simple lavender high-heel pumps. Under the dress, Marian wears a deep pink blouse with large, puffy sleeves that reach halfway down her forearms with matching cuffs. The primary and most common outfit she wears is a pale-lavender floor-length dress with a matching colored sash holding it in place around her waist and a wide V-shaped collar. Her color palette on her fur is slightly lighter in hue than Robin Hood's. She has Scarlett fur, a cream muzzle and underbelly, pale orange eye patches, and brown eyes. Maid Marian is a tall, slender, anthropomorphic vixen roughly the same height as Robin Hood. Indeed, it is thought that after Marian and Robin Hood are married, Skippy and Marian develop something akin to a mother-son relationship. She also kisses him on the cheek to thank him and teach him how a hero should treat his "lady fair". Marian eagerly and willingly plays the role of the damsel-in-distress as Skippy (playing Robin Hood) fights with Lady Kluck (playing Prince John) to save her and then takes her into a grove of bushes and trees that represents Sherwood Forest. She also loves children and is happy to meet Skippy and the others when the former sneaks into the castle to retrieve his arrow, which he had accidentally shot over the walls of the castle as he was playing with the bow he had gotten as a birthday present from Robin Hood. So much so that she finds the courage to plead for his life. Despite being separated from him, Maid Marian is still very much in love with Robin Hood as he loves her. Maid Marian is a very beautiful, ladylike, nice, loving, and kind woman. However, several years before the events of the film, she left for London for unspecified reasons and had only recently returned to Nottingham. She and Robin Hood have known each other since they were young, and fell in love as they grew older. Because of that, it can be assumed that Richard is Maid Marian's uncle by marriage, meaning that the sister of either Marian's mother or father was the wife of King Richard (making Marian's aunt the queen). It is stated that Maid Marian is King Richard's niece but never actually revealed how they're related, and she doesn't really appear to be related to Prince John, despite him being Richard's brother.
