Marjorie was created as a part of the third phase of the Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) education and awareness program, by the P. Kesavadev Trust called "DREAMS" (Diabetes Resources Education & Awareness Advocacy Mentorship and Support). She serves as a friendly figure designed to assist children and adolescents in understanding and managing T1D, blending education with a touching narrative.

Her character is deeply rooted in the remarkable story of Frederick Banting, a Canadian medical scientist who played a pivotal role in the discovery of insulin. Marjorie, inspired by a dog known as Dog 33 in Banting's historic experiments, symbolizes a significant chapter in medical history. The original Marjorie was crucial in proving the effectiveness of insulin extract, being the final canine subject in the testing process that confirmed its efficacy and paved the way for human trials.

Marjorie's uniqueness stems from being the one dog Banting insisted on naming, highlighting the profound connection that developed between the scientist and his four-legged companion. This bond not only humanizes a critical scientific breakthrough but also serves as an inspirational tale for those dealing with T1D.

In the realm of the DREAMS Project, Marjorie transcends her historical significance. She becomes an engaging and relatable character for young individuals grappling with T1D. By intertwining her story with the discovery of insulin, Marjorie offers a unique and inspiring educational tool.
