"Marincess" (
Design
Appearance
Similar to the Trickstars, Skye's previous main archetype, the Marincesses are all women dressing in various colorful attires, with the distinction of them dressing similar to royalty and with a secondary design of the various sea creatures being incorporated into the clothing. Due to being created by the Water Ignis, they have a blue or purple tint somewhere around themselves. Their crest or logo is similar to the gem at the center of Marincess Crystal Heart, which could be a reference to the Heart of the Ocean, a necklace from the 1997 Film Titanic which had a blue diamond in the center.
Etymology
"Marincess" is a portmanteau of "Marine" and "Princess". Their kanji translates a "Sea Gem Maiden", which seem to be more or less, another transliteration of their English name.

Playing style
The Main Deck members of the archetype have effects that Special Summon themselves from the hand when an Extra Deck member is on the field to facilitate further Link Summoning. The Extra Deck members, in turn, have effects such as Special Summoning more of their members from the GY or add cards from the GY to their hand. The archetype also has Normal Trap Cards that can be activated from the hand when an Extra Deck member is on the field to disrupt counterplays.
The main strategy for Marincess Deck is to flood the Graveyard with many of the archetype Link Monsters, then utilize the effect of Marincess Battle Ocean to increase the Atk of Marbled Rock, who can recycle Marincess cards, or Wonder Heart who can Special Summon the equipped monsters, in which both can avoid battle destruction through their own effects. Crystal Heart is also used as a Link Material to give the Link Summoned monster blanket immunity. Additionally, the archetype's Field Spell can be easily searched through the effect of Sea Angel. Blue Tang and Mandarin are used to provide very easy swarming for the combos.
