A transgender woman who lives in Little Dog’s neighborhood when he is a young boy in Connecticut. Marin walks to work every day in high heels, even as the neighborhood men call her a “faggot” and threaten to kill her. Like Little Dog, Marin does not embody traditional ideals of gender, and she is therefore ostracized by her community. The character of Marin underscores the discrimination and violence faced by queer people in American society.
