How to romance Marie in Warframe
Warframe brought another batch of romanceable Protoframes in The Old Peace, including Sister Marie Leroux—Wisp's Protoframe. The nun can become your lover if you play your cards right on KIM.
Dating Marie (and any of the Devil's Triad) plays out differently than your romantic dalliances with the Hex. There's no gifting or bounties, so it's all about how you answer her. There's one solace: even if you do mess up, there's a way to get back with her—though deals with the Devil often come with a price...
Here's our guide to romancing Marie in Warframe . You can go to the Kimulacrum for the play-by-play , including answers for every conversation, but we have some general tips below based on the information there and in our experience.

Before you begin, keep in mind Marie has a special fondness for Albrecht Entrati (or Cardinal Dimanche, as she calls him). He pretended to be a man of the cloth, offering her a helping hand and treating her like a person when few did. She's extremely grateful for that, making her far more likely to idolize Albrecht than to vilify him as other Protoframes do. This may not be forever, since your dialogue choices are bound to at least break down those walls a bit, but that's good information to have when starting out.
Don't side with Entrati just to get on the Sister's good side , though, since that will do far more harm than good. Yes, praising Entrati is the path of least resistance with her, but it's not mandatory if you'd like to romance Marie. In fact, the game will often throw you into conversations with conflicting points of view, which makes them quite interesting. It's not hard to think of people (and animals!) that have reasons to hate Albrecht, especially when a handful of them are just on the other side of the door.
Marie has a tragic backstory of her own, and she can understand the plight of the broken. While we won't go into spoilers here, go into KIM conversations knowing she had quite a rough upbringing, but was saved by the Sisterhood and, later on, by Entrati.
She believes everyone can be redeemed —even the Devil of Tau—and approaching conversations with that principle in mind builds up rapport more quickly. Because of that, you don't need to have the same faith as her (or any at all), though your choices in conversation naturally open up new dialogue options as you get to know her more.
When it comes to romance, Drifter can be quite direct with Marie, and there are plenty of opportunities to show your interest in her. One is as early as level two, when the Sister asks if the Drifter has a specific creed, and you can reply with "what if I said I was more interested in you, instead? Would that be blasphemous?" Smooth, Drifter.
You should be fine as long as you do it on the right occasions and without overdoing it. Surprisingly, she'll be okay if you ask her to hunt you down, but don't ask her how she'd make it up to you in the same conversation.
How to raise Chemistry with Marie in Warframe

Unlike the Protoframes from 1999, you can't do bounties or give gifts to fast-track your progress with romancing Marie. Instead, you must gain Chemistry by answering the right prompts in conversations. Digital Extremes "carefully balanced the Chemistry output to ensure players can rank up with the conversations available to them," but the studio recommends enabling the Play All Kim Conversations setting.
As usual, Marie has six ranks: Neutral, Friendly, Liked, Trusted, Close, and Best Friend/Lover. Lover appears if you date her (which is the goal here), but anyone with a platonic connection to you becomes Best Friends instead.
Can you date more than one Protoframe in Warframe?

Yes, The Old Peace lets you date one member of the Hex and one of the Protoframes in La Cathédrale. You need to have a KIM conversation with both your paramours to get their consent. There's another caveat: you can't date more than one person from the Hex, since, as they're quick to point out, it would make things way too awkward.
Does Marie move in with you when you romance her?

Marie, like the rest of the Devil's Triad, stays inside La Cathédrale and does not move into the Backrooms with you when romanced. She will, however, send you weekly Captura dates, a new addition with The Old Peace. If you've had that conversation with your other paramours, they may also bring up how it's impossible to meet your romantic partners from the Devil's Triad, even though they'd love the chance to do so.
