Marjoree Melark is the daughter of Colwort, and Tipole Melark making her a member of House Melark. Marjoree Melark has four siblings in the form of Cornille, Peeta, Marjoree, Waln, and Ardor Melark of which Cornille is a powerful Magi of whom left her family at an early age travelling to the west of Dole where she formed a group of Magi in the forests of Western Dole, while Peeta is a brave young man who is the heir of House Melark but his alliance and love for Katniss Everdeen have led his family into a civil war of sorts, while Marjoree would grow up and gain Magi abilities like her older sister and following this discovery was banished by her father eventually going to live with her sister in the west, while Waln is a young boy at the arrival of Britney Hemsworth into Dole but is shown to be squiring for his older brother Peeta, and Ardor is a baby at the arrival of Britney Hemsworth only ever seen with his mother.
Marjoree Melark was born the third child of her father and mother and during her youth she was constantly told how much she looked like her sister Cornille, and each time this mention was made her father begin to hate her more and more seeing her as a living embodiment of the failure of a daughter he once had. This hatred would explode when Marjoree realized she had Magi abilities as well, and realizing her father would kill her she went to her mother of whom assisted her in going west and eventually finding her sister hopefully.

Fall of House Everdeen[]
The Fall of House Everdeen I watched my entire family die. Do you understand at all what that was like? Do you even have an ounce of emotion for what happened to me...I don't want your pity. I just want you to do what you swore to do.
“Doing this Katniss is the only way I can see getting back what I lost for this family. I tried my hardest in the south...it just...it just wasn't enough. I'm sorry that my failure against Harrenhall has cost this family so much. I'm so sorry Katniss that this is what we will now be known for.”
— Gale Everdeen
Following the Dolish-Harrenhall War the situation in Dole was one that became increasingly dire, and even the moral fabric, and societal rules of Dole would increasingly collapse as the economic situation deteriorated due to the greed of Dolish merchants and the failings of the emotionally devastated Dolish nobility leading the deaths of many nobles. As this collapse happened the vassals of House Everdeen would rise against their leader led by two of House Everdeen's larger vassals in the form of Luca Grundmun, and Dominec Fellgeebal of which Luca had an immense hatred for Gale Everdeen due to the death of two of Luca's sons in the war against Harrenhall which he blamed Gale for. In an effort to rebuild relations with his vassals it would be Gale Everdeen of whom would agree to marry his sister Nettle Everdeen into House Grundmun, and thus he traveled to the estate of House Grundmun with his entire family leaving only Katniss and Primrose behind. Once Gale had left the city House Grundmun had sent dozens of their men into Kingsgrave where they threatened the few remaining Everdeen loyalists including killing several, and with this they begin their plot to turn Kingsgrave into their own land by destroying House Everdeen.
“I tried my best my daughter. I just made things worse...”
— Gale Everdeen
Following through on the arrangement travelling to Greenmore west of Kingsgrave they would be greeted at the outline to the city by several influential vassals of theirs of whom seemed very happy to rebuild the relationship and led Gale and his family to the estate of House Grundmun. Upon arriving there the lords would quickly move away from them and a large crowd formed all around them hundreds strong, and standing there unable to get inside the locked gates they were utterly embarrassed in the courtyard outside House Grundmun's home by being rejected from entering or being worthy of marrying into their family and then following this they were pelted by rocks which badly injured Katniss's aunt and three of their four guards were kidnapped by the forces of House Grundmun.
The Death of Octa Everdeen was a blow that shook Katniss to her very core. Following her death, and the death of basically all members of House Everdeen it would fall to Katniss to try and rebuild what she could not truly understand had been damaged, and for what reason had it been damaged for.
The rest of the family would be held for two days in a small house outside of the city where they were treated kindly before after two days for seemingly no reason they were released and sent home to Kingsgrave. Arriving back at Kingsgrave they were met at the city outskirts by several of their Kingsgrave vassals who had by this point heard of the events in Greenmore and they all revealed that they were also now unwilling to assist House Everdeen, and as they passed down the road towards their estate they were pelted by food and insults by crowds of hundreds of whom had all been turned against House Everdeen by House Grundmun while they were locked in the home for days. For Katniss when her family had left it was nearly the next day when men arrived at the Everdeen estate and after talking to the House Everdeen guards and servents many of these servents and guards left without a word leaving a much diminished group behind and only three guardsmen of the families original thirty. Trying her best to lead her family while her family was away she would make her first forays into the city meeting several of her families vassals of whom none would reveal anything to her, and the closest she got was with House Melark where Peeta Melark revealed to her on her way out of the Melark estate that House Grundmun had sent people to Kingsgrave stating that the time of House Everdeen was coming to an end.
“I watched my entire family die. Do you understand at all what that was like? Do you even have an ounce of emotion for what happened to me...I don't want your pity. I just want you to do what you swore to do.”
— Katniss Everdeen
Following their return the House Everdeen estate would be surrounded by hundreds of men, women, and children bribed by House Grundmun in order to keep House Everdeen locked within their estate and even if they had wanted to leave the members who had travelled to Greenmore would begin to become sick several hours after their return. While these members grew sicker outside of the estate it was House Grundmun that arrived in the city in their full numbers where they would summon the council of Kingsgrave and using fake evidence and outright lies they would have many of the titles of House Everdeen stripped from them including the most important in the Lord of Kingsgrave leaving House Everdeen mere counts in the city of Kingsgrave.
While there power was stripped from them outside of the estate inside it was Gale that died first bleeding from all the pores of his body, and following his death Katniss forced her way through the crowd and using what little wealth remained of her family she hired several physiciations to return and try to save her mother, aunt, and brother. Katniss during this search did not know that she did not actually have enough money but these doctors were promiced more by Peeta Melark of whom had been watching the estate and seeing her sneaking out of the estate had followed her and assisted her in the best way that he could. By the time she returned with the doctors her aunt was already dead, and her mother would die only minutes after her return leaving just her brother alive, and following a brief look at her brother the doctors would leave saying there was nothing they could do for him. Realizing her brother was going to die as well she sent Primrose away so she wouldn't watch him die and then held her brother while he bled out from his pores the same was as her mother, aunt, and father had.
