Villain Mari who still has a heart of gold deep, deep inside but realises that it won't get her anywhere in life. Villain Mari who let go of those ridiculous notions of perfection because perfection isn't the power she thought it was. There's beauty in the chaos and destruction, in the things she tears apart and rends asunder. That passionless passion of hers finally having an outlet that doesn't leave her empty and unsatisfied, she has purpose again, a light in her eyes that she thought had long faded away.

I’m truly the friend who will fight your ex who did you dirty even after you get over it. like I will see them 5 years later and be like “square fuck up you know exactly what this asswhoopin is for”

[shougancid]

i'm not here enough but i would love to do a more villainous verse for mari

[shougancid]

Mari as a natural oxymoron of a human being is my favourite aspect of her, someone who looks like she feels nothing but feels everything, who's always at 110% to the point where anything less looks like she doesn't care or isn't trying. Lonely but surrounded by people. A passionlessly passionate person who has an impassive expression on her face most of the time but an intensity in her eyes that burns.

She'll burn herself out without even realising it, quietly destructive and because she's merely human she won't rise from the ashes.

38. What hobby are they good at in private, but bad at in front of others? Why?

WEIRDLY SPECIFIC BUT HELPFUL CHARACTER BUILDING QUESTIONS

Everything Mari is good at, Mari shows off. Everything she's bad at, she hides. The fact she has absolutely negative rizz? Hidden. Probably. It's obvious though. I'd say dancing, but more street dancing and the like, I think she's perfect with ballroom dancing but if she had to dance a style she's not as practiced in she's more likely to fumble in front of people. That urge to be perfect really gets into her head and she overthinks, when normally dancing ballroom is something that's like breathing to her. The only exception is DDR, where she will annihilate everyone and their grandma in private or public.

When she played volleyball, she had a similar issue, where if she got too into her head or someone else did, the pressure would just get to her. But now she just coaches a team of bored single mothers who do it as a hobby with no pressure which is better for her mentally but blows her overly competitive little mind.

32. If they committed one petty crime / misdemeanor, what would it be? Why?

WEIRDLY SPECIFIC BUT HELPFUL CHARACTER BUILDING QUESTIONS

Jaywalking. She does it on a semi-regular basis because she has places to be and waiting for the lights to change will eat into her precious spare time, she's 6'1'', if a car hits her then that is definitely their fault. Especially when she's wearing In the verses where she lives in the USA she is the type to argue any parking ticket, doing all those illegal life pro tips people should never do. She has a useless law degree, she won't break any laws that will get her into serious trouble.

mari loves doing wedding choreography for couples so you know she shed a tear when yui decided she wanted to do the cha cha slide as her first dance instead

[shougancid]

I just casually woke up at 5 am but consider this a plotting call/permission to bother you on IMs about our muses

[shougancid]

Mari reads a lot of sappy romance, deep drama and josei manga, she's a sucker for angst with a happy ending and historical romances, weirdly enough. To protect her reputation, she tends to steal the dust covers off her brother's crime novels and horror stories and puts them over whatever she's reading, so a bystander has definitely seen her shed a tear at what they assumed was The Exorcist on the train before.
