Fictional biography
Marsali MacKimmie was born the eldest daughter of Laoghaire MacKenzie and the late Simon MacKimmie and had one sister, named Joan. She and her sister and mother were abused by Simon, who was a violent man. At Hogmanay, Marsali told Fergus that she loved him, and Fergus admitted he loved her too, but he knew that Laoghaire would never agree to the match. Marsali, assuming that he was referring to the fact that he is French and missing a hand, assured him that those things don't matter, but Fergus explains that Laoghaire wouldn't approve because of his past. He confessed to her that he was born in a brothel and worked as a pickpocket before Jamie took him under his wing.

Fergus told Marsali that he wouldn't see her anymore, but Marsali was determined and their relationship continued. When Marsali told Laoghaire about her love for Fergus, Laoghaire fulfilled Fergus's prophecy, telling her daughter that Fergus would do terrible things to her because his mother was a whore and he grew up in a whorehouse.

She meets Claire, her step-father's first wife, and is introduced in Voyager. However, Marsali was spiteful and mean to Claire due to her mother telling her all the negative traits about her.

However, during their time on the Artemis, Marsali sees another side of Claire and gradually warm up to each other.
