Marasi Colms was born as the illegitimate child of [[Jackstom Harms]],
She received a broad education at the university, including anatomy and medicine, before choosing to major in legal justice and criminal behavioristics, with a specialty in mob dynamics.{{book ref|mb4|4}}{{book ref|mb4|13}}{{book ref|mb5|24}} During her studies, she learned much more about Wax and Wayne based on the many stories and reports about them and the criminals they had brought in.{{book ref|mb4|4}}{{book ref|mb4|7}}{{book ref|mb4|9}} She also joined the ladies' target club at the university and became skilled at shooting rifles, feeling that was the closest she could get to having a more useful Allomantic ability.{{book ref|mb4|6}}{{book ref|mb6|13}}
Afterwards, she becomes a constable serving under Constable-General [[Claude Aradel]] as a crime analyst. After Aradel is elected governor of [[Elendel]], Constable-General [[Reddi]], whom Marasi has not always been on good terms with, finally stops being bitter toward her and accepts her as a constable in her own right.▼
=== The Vanishers ===
During Marasi's final year at the university, Wax and Wayne returned to Elendel so that Wax could take his place as the high lord of House Ladrian.{{book ref|mb4|4}} She convinced her father to let her accompany him and Steris to discuss a possible marriage between Steris and Wax.{{book ref|mb4|10}} Along with Wax, Wayne, Steris, and her father, she attended the [[Yomen-Ostlin wedding dinner]], where she eagerly asked Wax and Wayne about their time in the Roughs and impressed them with her insights. Unfortunately, the [[Vanishers]] attacked the party and kidnapped Steris;{{book ref|mb4|5}} they also attempted to kidnap Marasi, but she resisted, giving Wax a chance to help rescue her, and she returned the favor by shooting two Vanishers with a rifle when they were threatening Wax.{{book ref|mb4|6}}
Marasi assisted Wax during his initial investigation of the Vanishers, helping him realize the true reason for the specific women they were abducting,{{book ref|mb4|7}}{{book ref|mb4|9}} and continued to stay with him and Wayne as they tracked down the group.{{book ref|mb4|10}}{{book ref|mb4|12}}{{book ref|mb4|14}}{{book ref|mb4|16}} She was present at the final confrontation in the Vanisher hideout, where she used her rifle to good effect again during the fight. She was briefly captured by Miles, but Wax got her free.{{book ref|mb4|18}} Her ability as a Pulser was critical in ultimately capturing Miles: she kept all of them in a speed bubble while Wax distracted him, giving Wayne time to go out and return with a large force of constables.{{book ref|mb4|19}} After the fight, she very nearly expressed the romantic feelings she had been developing for Wax, who saw where she was going and gently turned her down for both of their sakes.{{book ref|mb4|20}} She chose to attend Miles's execution, gruesome though it was; after it was done, she was pulled aside by [[Marsh]], who gave her [[Spook]]'s book on [[Hemalurgy]] and an instruction to deliver it to Wax.{{book ref|mb4|epilogue}}

=== The Bands of Mourning ===
Following the wedding of her sister to Waxillium, Marasi acccepted a mission from the [[kandra]] [[VenDell]] on behalf of [[Harmony]] to go to [[New Seran]] to recover the missing spike of the kandra [[ReLuur]] who had returned from a research mission in the area after losing the spike in suspicious circumstances. VenDell also tasked Marasi to look for the [[Bands of Mourning]], which ReLuur had been investigating. Marasi traveled to New Seran with Waxillium, Steris, Wayne and MeLaan. Enroute the [[Nightstreet Gang]] attacked the train the group was traveling on and Marasi participated in the battle that followed. Using Allomancy and her skills with a rifle she was instrumental in saving the lives of passengers on the train and Waxillium. Upon arriving in New Seran, she and Wayne investigated the whereabouts of ReLuur's spike. The information they gleaned led them, along with Wax and Steris, to the Set's base in [[Dulsing]]. During the raid on the base, Marasi and MeLaan broke into [[Irich|Professor Irich's]] study and recovered ReLuur's spike as well as several medallions from a safe. Marasi also discovered [[Allik Neverfar]] being held hostage in a cage in an adjacent room. Against MeLaan's advice, Marasi freed Allik and the three of them joined the battle in the main room around the crashed [[Southern Scadrian]] airship [[Brunstell]]. Marasi fought using the Allomantic grenade, but was shot in the abdomen in the fight. Marasi and the others took refuge inside of the wrecked Brunstell and Marasi convinced the others to follow Allik to [[Wilg]]. As the group was escaping aboard Wilg, MeLaan performed surgery on Marasi using her kandra abilities. Due to a miscommunication, Marasi thought she was dying during this exchange. After recovering Steris, who had not participated in the raid, the group set off for the [[Sovereign's temple]]. During the journey, Marasi spoke with Allik about his people and their technology. Upon arriving at the Temple Marasi kept guard at the entrance with Wayne and Steris while the others dealt with the traps. During this time she had a good conversation with Steris. After Mister Suit and the Set arrived, she and the others entered the chamber where the Bands of Mourning supposedly were. Marasi was captured when Telsin and Suit attacked the group. As she sat outside the temple some time later as a captive of the Set, she realized that the spear point in her purse was actually the Bands of Mourning. Marasi tapped the immense power of the Bands and used them to free herself, attack the guards, and locate and revive Waxillium beneath the temple. She then gave Wax the Bands and returned to Elendel with the others.
