Marilyn Warner looked exactly like the young, beautiful, white woman that she wanted to be; however, because of the genetic contamination that flowed through her veins of her father's cursed blackness, had caused Marilyn to come into this world a 'High Yellow' female; as were her female siblings, which also included an effeminate brother, although they were all to a lesser degree whiteness than that their older sister, Marilyn.
Although the siblings were still quite often mistaken as being of the white race, but not as quickly as Marilyn; and this is what changed the entire direction of Marilyn's life forever, and turning her into the monster that she was.
