I think there's something more to Marigold than what we've been seen so far. If he was only designed to be a commentary on the Atlesian elites (particularly the boys Weiss hates), why give him a name, unique design, and a voice actor, instead of making him more generic?

Maybe he's a counterpart to Sun, being a lovable rogue. I know he's similar to Neptune - (red outfit, blue punk hair, black tie, dark skinned, flirts with Weiss), maybe there will be more to him in the future. Like he might have some sage advice later on, or some kind of hidden depth. Or maybe he'll be another Cardin. I dunno, his introduction is weird.
