As Mary, her goal is to explore the Dream World and live in a happy life.

Her overarching goal is to escape her abusive father.

==Personality==
===Mary===
Mary is thought to be a very happy girl who enjoys playing games with her friends and things pink and pretty, based on her bright feminine appearance. This Mary lives happily ever after, never having to deal with her father's alleged sexual abuse or the loss of her innocence.
===Mari===
Mari, on the other hand, is a very quiet, serious, and self-contained young lady who looks to be miserable and lonely. Her mother died, and she now lives with her highly abusive and controlling father. Mari would frequently sleep to escape face the tragic truth, fleeing to her lovely dream world.
==Background==
Mary, or Mari, lives with her father in a big and remote house after her mother died. Mari is unable to leave the house, so instead of attending school, she hires a private tutor to come to her home.
Mari entertains herself with playing with her tutor or maid, who may be her sole pals, as well as her adoring uncle Gwendel, who pays her visits and brings her presents such as books and toys. Mari generally stays in the home or in the garden because she isn't permitted outside.
Mari's father is highly indicated to be physically and sexually abusing her. Mari is portrayed as a prisoner within her own room and unable to leave before her father returns home in some of the endings.
==Trivia==
*Mary/Mari is 11-13 years old, according to the designers of Dreaming Mary.
*Pink is Mary's favourite colour, as shown in her Dream World sequences.
*The radio at the start of the game provides numerous details concerning Mary:
**Mary inherited her mother's unusual ability to build worlds in her dreams.
**Long dreams that transport Mary to various worlds are Mary's favourite form of dreams.
**She dislikes short dreams because they become dark, silent, and frightening, as shown in some of the game's Bad Ends, as well as Normal End.
**A white lily is her signature item. White lilies are frequently used as symbols of purity and innocence. Two of the petals were missing when the game began, which might be a sign of her father's sexual abuse.
* Mari enjoys being told tales, and because she struggles to read, she prefers picture books over novels.
