Emile Zhukovsky
The Metropol’s seamstress. Marina not only mends the Count’s pants several times (particularly when he is exploring the hotel with Nina), but she also serves as a confidante for him. A mother of two, Marina counsels the Count in the ways of fatherhood when he starts to feel protective over Nina, and later when he is in over his head in agreeing to watch Sofia. Marina helps take care of Sofia as a young girl, but also helps the Count realize that he is capable of being a father.
