Marlena Diamond was the friend of Lily Ford, Jason Hawkins, Beth McIntyre, and Jamie Lascano. She is only an acquaintance of Rob Hawkins, having only met him on a few occasions. Upon arriving to his farewell party, she becomes aware of Hud's crush on her.
Biography
Marlena attended Rob Hawkins going away party, at the request of Lily. She was planning on meeting some friends after the event. She is seen throughout the party ignoring Hud's attempts to talk with her after she gave testimonial. Marlena was among the party members that dispersed onto the streets after the explosion, and was outside when the Monster came down the street. She saw it, and claimed "it was eating people". After Lily comforted her, she, Lily, Hud, Rob and Jason made their way to the Brooklyn Bridge during the evacuation of Manhattan.
Because the bridge is destroyed by the monster, they are forced back into Manhattan. After Beth calls Rob and tells him she is trapped in her apartment, Rob, Marlena, Lily and Hud decide they have to go rescue her. On their way to her apartment they are caught in the cross fire between the military and the monster. They take shelter in a subway station, planning on waiting it out before moving on.
They stay in the subway for a long time as they listen to the on going fight above them. When they realize that they can reach Beth's apartment by walking on the subway track they start moving again. It is in the subway tunnel that they are attacked by the Parasites that fell off the monster. Marlena saved Hud's life by beating the parasite that jumped on him with a pole, in the process sustaining a severe bite wound to her upper body. The four are able to escape the tunnels and come out above ground in an abandoned Bloomingdale's store located outside of Lexington Avenue/59th Street.
Marlena moments before her death
Marlena states that she is feeling dizzy, but can still move on. They are confronted by a squad of infantry who have taken shelter in the store, and are escorted to a temporary base of operations. Marlena starts to bleed profusely from her eyes and nose, and tells Hud that she isn't feeling good. She is forced by medics in Biohazard suits to a biohazard containment tent, while coughing up blood and screaming for Hud to help her, but she becomes silent after she is seen swelling from her hips to her upper body and bursts, splattering blood across a curtain.

About Me
- "So much to tell, so little desire to tell it. Let's see. I grew up in Connecticut but I'm a 'Yorker through and through. I just quit smoking, so I've taken to biting my nails and chewing an exorbitant amount of gum. I'm the next big thing in fashion design, and it's just a matter of time before the rest of the world figures that out. In the mean time, I'm a phone monkey for a bunch of corporate hotshots. It feeds my party habit, which is spinning wildly out of control and I'm loving every second of it."

Who I'd Like to Meet
- "Probably not you, so don't send me a friend request just because you like my party pics of me and my girls. I have spyware that tells me exactly who's looking on here. I'm on to each and every one of you perverts from McMahon High -- Most of whom I don't even remember speaking to! Though I must admit, it kind of turns me on ;)"

| Jamie | 14:12 10Sep07 | Hey girl! Well that certainly got his attention. Teddy-bear called me each of the last three days, and each time we've ended up talking for like 3 hours. I miss the man behind the voice! He says he already watched it ten times and demanded more! Such a sweetie! |
| Lily | 15:41 16Jul07 | Oh my god, such a good time! So that explains why Jason got a message on his cell from some guy asking him to dinner at Barbetta... |
