Appearance
PB: Lily Allen
Detailed Description: Mari is a tiny bundle of annoyance. She stands at a short 5'4, with a slim but soft body. She has long dark brown hair and heavy bangs, which she prides herself on. She thinks her hair is her best feature, it's always soft and shiney and worn around her shoulders. She has dark brown eyes and dainty features, which contrast with her wicked laugh and the glint her eyes when she knows she's doing something bad. Mari likes to look well dressed, with a slightly weird style. She likes big patterns, dresses and bows. She speaks with a transatlantic accent due to her Mother being from England.

Personality
Likes: Boys, men, playing pranks, swearing like a sailor, laughing when people fall over, getting as much attention she can get and Summertime.
Dislikes: Annoying brothers, having to wear pants, when people leave one bud of their headphones in when talking to you, getting caught by teachers.
Quirks: Sucks her thumb when no one is watching, fidgets a lot, flirts with every boy regardless of looks or relationship status. Most people in school are used to it.
Secrets: - Acidentally turned her brother into a snail for five minutes once
- Mari had braces to fix her thumb sucking problem, no one knows she still does it.
- Once dipped her stepmother's spoon in peanut butter to see what it's like when someone has an allergic reaction.
What’s in your characters pockets? - Headphones which are tangled around absolutely everything in her pocket, the cute boy from the record store's phone number, liquid eyeliner pen, crumbs and her wand.

Detailed personality: Some people would class Marianne as a trouble maker, which isn't strictly true. She has a very brash way of speaking, and an honest streak which most people don't want to hear. Her disregard for embarrassing situations often finds Mari in trouble with her friends, she's the person who will tell everyone her best friend's on her period and that's why she's being crabby today. Marianne's slight English twang gets her noticed, and she knows it. She'll play this up, especially when telling jokes. Her jokes are always filthy, full of swearing and followed by her wicked laugh. Marianne would liken herself to your drunk Nan on Christmas Day, getting a bit too tipsy and cackling to herself in the corner.

Marianne craves attention, good or bad, it doesn't matter. Being at the centre of it is optimal at all times. She isn't worried about the politics of highschool, and who is popular and who you should associate with, Mari just talks to anyone. This has made her fairly well known through the school, although terrifying to first year students.

She is a total Anglophile, her room at home is covered with British bands, her favourite being The Beatles. Marianne's favourite pair of underwear have unionjacks on, which she'll gladly flash you. Her biggest dream in life is to rent a tiny flat in London and catch the big red bus every morning to work. Mari grudingly accepts she likes to play videogames, especially multi-player games. She plays a mean Mario Kart and happily accepts the challenge to top her winning streak.

All the swearing and unlady-like behaviour aside, Marianne is a very girly-girl who loves to spend time with her close girl friends and watch Sex and the City re-runs for five hours straight. She would desperately like to be able to kiss a bunch of boys and have dinner dates in tutu's with her friends.

Personal History:
Marianne was born on a humid, sweet smelling March evening in Denver, Colorado. She gave her parents quite the runaround, arriving three weeks late and even then unwilling to make an apperance. She's hardly been on time for anything since. Everyone in the extended family had been waiting for her birth, praying they would have their first girl to fuss over. Their wish came true and Marianne became a living, breathing doll to be stuffed into as many pink frilly dresses. Almost all of Mari's family photographs are deeply embarrassing, with her thumb stuck in her mouth and covered in fluff, or tulle.

Marianne was always a Mommy's girl, preferring to sit on her Mother's lap than run around with Jamie climing trees. Her childhood was spent trying to get her Father to watch Beauty and the Beast with her, but he always said he was too tired from work. Once Lucas was born, she had to stop climbing up onto her Mother's lap, because baby Lucas would be sleeping. Mari resented her little brother for a long time, before she was allowed to "care" for Lucas. Her Mother would often leave the room and find Lucas covered in lipstick with a tiara on his head.

At school, Marianne would draw and paint, otherwise she would cry. All she drew were Robins, which became a comfort. The highlight of Marianne's childhood came when she was nine years old and the whole family flew over to England to stay with her Great Aunt in Norfolk. She had a big garden, where Mari saw her first Robin pecking away at the ground. It was magical, until Lucas scared it off. He got a dead arm for that.

She displayed her first sign of magic at age seven. Watching Pets Do The Funniest Things on T.V, Mari was laughing so hard she began to levitate. She was widthdrawn from school and taught at home by her mother, who taught her how to blend colours when painting and famous stories of powerful wizards and witches in fairytales. When the time came for Mari to start at Salem, she was given a calico cat, which then had to be sent home as Mittens gave her a terrible rash.

A big part of Marianne's life has been boys. Her major life events all revolve around boys. She had her first kiss at fourteen, just further than the Quodpot field at school in trade for the boy's answers to a nasty Defence Against the Dark Art's essay. Mari now wonders if this was a brief foray into prostitution, but doesn't like to dwell. Now, there's no stopping her as she seems hell bent on kissing as many boys as possible. Somehow Mari has been able to avoid being called any unwanted names just by being as unashamed as she can be about her escapades. However, Marianne is saving her V-Card for the right boy to come along, and he has to be able to play at least four instruments.

Since her Father left, her and her brother's made the trip down to New York City to stay with him in his posh, minimalist apartment every summer. Marianne found it all a bit of a drag, as she would rather be at home watching MTV than trying to play Scrabble with a man she saw once a year out of duty. However, one good thing that came out of the trips were the visits to the Natural History Museum. Marianne was always enthralled by the Ancient Egypt exibitions, a fascination with hyrogliyphics that spurred her to take Ancient Runes in school. The visits stopped eventually, when Jamie put his foot down and refused "to make small talk with a man who has his tongue down the throat of a whore 23 hours of the day".

Nowadays Marianne likes to spend as much time swooning over teenage George Harrison and planning trips to London when she's rich and famous. Mari had a few extra curricular activites, dancing as a form of getting some of her pent up energy out. Mari has cautiously joined the Gaming club, as a way to scream at other people without being repremanded.
