==Background==
===Personality===
Marco and Polo are Wade's playful nephews who always play with each other. Like all of their relatives, both boys have a habit of crying and being extremely emotional over just about anything.
Outside of his relatives, Marco is shown to have a mischievous personality, as he wanted to test and see if Ember was going to die if she falls in the water. Yet, both March and Polo were very accepting of other elements and were amazed by Ember's ability to make glass sculptures.
===Physical appearance===
Marco and Polo's bodies are made of translucent turquoise blue water and they both have blue eyes and small noses.
Marco is taller and slender while Polo is shorter and pudgier than his brother. Marco has bubbles combined together on the sides of his head with small combined bubbles together to form his hair. Polo's hair, on the other hand, is huge bubbles combined at the center of his head. Both boys wear dress shirts with Marco wearing a yellow-striped dress shirt and Polo wearing a purple-striped dress shirt.
==Role in the film ==
Marco and Polo are first seen playing with each other, swimming in the water just as Alan tells them to go easy on Ember who is on a chair so that she could avoid falling into the water. Marco and Polo are later seen having dinner with the rest of the Ripples to which they find Alan's story about Wade being afraid of sponges as a child interesting. After Alan accidentally breaks the pitcher he is using, Ember uses her fiery ability to fix the broken pitcher, impressing Marco, Polo, and the rest of the Ripples. Later during the Crying Game where Wade tells Ember that the light inside her made him feel like that he wants her to be near him, Marco, Polo, and the rest of the Ripples emotionally react to Ember and Wade's relationship. Polo later hits Wade with a pool noodle, surprising him.
During the climax of the film, Marco, Polo, and the rest of the Ripples are seen bidding a farewell to Wade who is leaving just before Wade's relatives began crying together, only for Wade to notice Ember in danger, due to the water bursting through the glass wall Ember made, flowing through the canal. Marco and Polo do not appear again throughout the rest of the film.
