Nova Squad were all BMOCs. Mariner was probably keen on meeting them. Sito seems to be a mentor/role model/hero to Mariner. Perhaps more approachable than Locarno.

I wonder how Mariner would feel if she knew that she perceived her relationship with Sito differently than Sito herself did?
Mariner "I modeled myself after this perfect friend."
Sito "I didn't have any friends. I didn't have anyone to talk to."
(To be clear, I'm mostly joking.)

Since when did Mariner serve on board Enterprise?Perhaps these could be Mariner...

Ensign Gates is referred to by name in three episodes.

The bottom two pictures are of Ensign Gates. Definitely not Mariner.
What a character: her voice was provided by other people 
The only line really spoken by her is "Course plotted, sir."
(from MA)
Mariner apparently changed her name, as she was probably a Freeman at first, so maybe she was Gates between Freeman and Mariner

Did Mariner ever say she was stationed on the E-D for one of her early assignments? I would have thought she’d brag about something like that. She was certainly quite proud of her time on DS9.
Clip of the finale clarifies the relationship between Mariner and Locarno. Spoilers, obviously.
Morn had even fewer lines than that. Maybe Mariner was actually Morn...they both talk a lot!What a character: her voice was provided by other people

Sito could have had accelerated studies due to her involvement in the cadet program. Or maybe Mariner was in a Junior year and they became good friends.
Sito was held back a year.
No. It's been a popular fan theory that she was a child on board the Enterprise D while one (or both?) of her parents served on the ship. And in an interview a year or so ago, Tawny Newsome said she was "aware" of the theory but didn't comment any further on it. But no, there's no other indication she's ever been on the Enterprise D.
Indeed, given this new information that Mariner was at the Academy at least as of TNG S5, if one were to hold onto the theory that she was a child on the D, than she could only have been there for TNG's first four seasons, and would have been a teenager during that time period.
And given we know Sito graduated ahead of Mariner, that pretty much shoots down the theory she could have served on the D, at least during the TV series era. The earliest Mariner could have graduated the Academy is 2371, the year Generations takes place, the year the D is destroyed. So maybe she could have spent a few months on the D, though I find it unlikely.
Another thought occurs while writing this, Mariner would have attended the Academy at the same time as Harry Kim. I wonder how he'd feel about one of his classmates being promoted and demoted constantly in the time he's spent pining for a promotion?

I could imagine Kim pleading to Janeway to promote him in the same way preteen Picard wanted to his 'father' in "Rascals".
"I want my promotion now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now!"
Ensign Harry Kim (while stomping his foot with each 'now')
