cecily vs. marian

i loved _the outlaws of sherwood_ more than any other book i've read about robin hood(and i read a lot in lower school although i don't remember them now), but one thing i wasn't expecting was that cecily's and little john's relationship interested me much more than robin's and marian's (actually robin was my least favorite character in the book). does anyone know if cecily was based on a "real" legendary figure from sherwood myth(i don't remember hearing of her before) or was she robin's own creation? speaking of robin's own creations(and i know this is none of my business) - do you think it's too late for robin to adopt a daughter - she would make the best mom!
