Ilina Brahmaputra-Marquez

Dr Ilina Brahmaputra-Marquez is the matriarch of the Marquez family. She works as an Astrophysicist and currently lives in Moon Base Alpha.

Space Case
In Space Case, Dr. Brahmaputra-Marquez was first shown wrangling her son Rodrigo Marquez to the ground. Roddy had the intention of trying to lick up a piece of meat on the wall, but Dr. Brahmaputra-Marquez wouldn't stand for it and was able to detain her child.

When Rose Harris and Stephen Gibson decided that their daughter Violet Gibson was too young to hear Ronald Holtz's final words, they sent Violet over to Dr. Brahmaputra Marquez's custody and claimed that she could have a "Slumber Party" with Inez Marquez.

Spaced Out
When Nina Stack vanished from Moon Base Alpha, the adults were worried that Violet Gibson, Inez Marquez and Kamoze Iwanyi were far too young to learn how serious the disappearance was. Dr. Brahmaputra-Marquez volunteered to be the chaperone and paraded the children around the base, acting like Nina was playing hide-and-seek.

When almost all of the adults on Moon Base Alpha were sent out to scour the lunar surface for Nina, Dr. Brahmpatura-Marquez was one of the adults that stayed near the base on their expedition. When Dashiell Gibson alerted Chang Kowalski that some people's helmets may be broken, Dr. Brahmaputra-Marquez cursed her son for endangering the life of some lunarnauts. However, she was not one of the people affected and made it to the base without a hitch.

When Dr. Brahmaputra-Marquez got back to the base, she probably chewed out her son Cesar Marquez for damaging helmets, and forced him to apologize to Rose Harris and Daphne Merritt; Both people's helmets fell victim to Cesar's treatment.

Waste of Space
When Sonja Sjoberg let out a scream in the middle of the night, Dr. Brahmaputra Marquez tried to barricade her children from investigating, although she was thwarted. When Dr. Brahmaputra Marquez found Sonja in considerable distress, she didn't hesitate to try to console her with the help of Rose Harris.

Later, unbeknownst to Dr. Brahmaputra-Marquez herself, Zan Perfonic raved about Dr. Brahmaputra-Marquez's theories to Dashiell Gibson in his room.

Dr. Brahmaputra-Marquez took place in Dashiell's Birthday Surprise and leaped forward for a surprise birthday gift, however, it backfired when Dash got such a fright that he unintentionally let go of a syringe of cyanide, which speared Cesar Marquez's leg. Dr. Brahmaputra-Marquez brought him to the Medical Bay and fed Cesar a sedative to calm him down.

When Dr. Brahmaputra-Marquez returned from sedating Cesar, she quizzed Dash on the syringe, but her interrogation was cut short when she started to get hypoxia and started to chat with Violet Gibson in a loony sort of way, due to lack of oxygen. Surprisingly, she was saved by Timothy Marquez, her husband, who didn't take too much action to help out during other events.

Dr. Brahmpatura-Marquez was soon suited up and bounded around on the lunar surface. Like the other lunarnauts, she spotted a brawl containing two lunarnauts harassing one another. When Dr. Brahmaputra-Marquez was informed by Viktor Balnikov that Cesar was one of the fighters, Dr. Brahmaputra-Marquez worriedly fawned over her son, who reassured his mother that he was okay.

When the first wave of rockets came to Moon Base Alpha, Dr. Brahmaputra-Marquez was on one of them, as she was a parent. Dr. Brahmaputra-Marquez likely participated on the Lunar Surface Romp to celebrate leaving the moon.

Later Life
Dr. Brahmaputra-Marquez was contacted about the Kowalski-Gibson Equation and was the mentor of Dashiell Gibson when he entered her astrophysics college.

Personality
Dr. Brahmaputra-Marquez is a busy and kind woman that can sometimes be very stressed out, as she has three kids and her husband, Timothy Marquez, isn't very helpful in child-rearing.
