Marina Nicolae

Marina Nicoli was a magical Gypsy, the mother of Ava and sister of Lydia.

Powers & Abilities
Marina was a Gypsy and so possessed the basic gypsy powers of Spellcasting, scrying and potion making. Although she was not a Shuvani she was the owner of an Evil eye talisman meaning her powers were augmented.

Although she cameod in the epsisode "The Eyes Have It" she was not mentioned to have any active powers and so it is assumed that she didn't. She was the one who owned the Gyspy Book which Ava inherited and now uses as her own, just like with the Evil eye talisman.

Romantic & Family Life
Marina, at some unknown point, became with child, Ava. It is unknown with whom and seeing as none of the Nicolis speak about Ava's father it is assumed by fans he either died a long time ago, was a one night stand or a deadbeat dad. She was also a sister to Lydia.

Death
Sadly, Marina at somepoint contracted Cancer. She refused Chemotherapy and tried to get rid of it using spells and potions but clearly she was either not a knowledgeable enough practitioner or a powerful enough gypsy as later on she died.
