She is quite: She runs to stop the Sheriff hitting Gisborne (In treasure of the nation) but holds herself back at last second, remembering there’s not much she can do if the Sheriff wants to hit Gisborne.
#DANIELLE HUMMINGS THE FOX IMAGES FREE#
She’s free and no longer conflicted for a split second before Gisborne stabs her. The relief of being herself out loud in 2x13 is what brings that smile on her face. But alas Gisborne forces her to marry her instead (fuck you Gisborne).

She came once before to being free, just before she marries Gisborne… ‘you really want to know the truth?’, she speaks. She no longer cares about the consequences of her saying those words… because now she doesn’t have anything to hide, her father is dead and no longer needs protecting, they know about the nightwatchman and she just wants to be herself. Whilst Marian knows she loved Robin before this moment, hearing her say it out loud like she did brings the biggest smile to her face. Her death scene wraps this up perfectly, her story arc and no matter how much we hate that scene, the writing is so perfect here. She also wants to love who she wants to love but Robin keeps doing illegal things (godamn it Robin!), but knows her neck will be on the line if she shows it.

She wants to be free, but knows if she leaves Gisborne at the alter her loyalty will be questioned and her father’s life could be in danger. She is conflicted: She wants to do good by the poor, but knows the Sheriff won’t allow it and must protect her father.
