Although you did not include a reference to any text, excerpt, article, or book, to know who Doña Marina is, we can comment on the following.
According to our knowledge on this topic, we can say that this woman was better known as the "Malinche," the woman of the conqueror Hernan Cortés, who helped the Spaniards as a translator and interpreter.
The story of Doña Marina is representative of the collapse of Mesoamerican and South American societies in that "La Malinche" was a Mesoamerican woman from Veracruz, México. She was one of the slaves the Aztecas gave to Cortés as a tribute or a "welcome gift." La Malinche betrayed the Mesoamerican Indian people and worked for Cortés in exchange for protection and a better living.
This betrayal has been studied by historians and they conclude that some Native Mesoamerican tribes betrayed other Indians such as teh Aztecs because the Aztecs were a warrior empire that conquered many tribes and forced the Indians to be slaves and pay tribute.
So when the Spanish conquerors arrived, these tribes saw an opportunity for retribution against the Aztecas, That is why they betrayed them That was the case of the Indian tribes such as the Tlaxcalans and Cholullans.
