**Maryrose** (マリーローズ, *Mariirōzu*?) is one of the side Characters in the Shadows House series and the Shadow living under the care of the "Living Doll" Rosemary.

## Appearance

Like the rest of the Shadows in the house, Maryrose is completely black and appears to be a silhouette of her Face, Rosemary. Instead of wearing a dress like the rest of the female Shadows who all appear to look up to her, Maryrose wears a frilly white shirt with a high collar, a purple corset patterned with white line art of roses, short pink skirt and dark-green puffy breeches. On her feet are white high-heels with purple roses. She wears her hair in a long braid going down her back with a rose clip.

## Personality

Maryrose is introduced to be outgoing and dependable. She is exuberant and has a flair for the dramatic, and according to Emilico is so gallant she could be mistaken for a man. She also loves dancing, and have been shown teaching it to Kate. She's the most senior Shadow in the Children's Building, and is thus someone that younger Shadows often look up to.

## Relationships

### Rosemary

Unlike most Shadows, Maryrose shares a very close relationship with her Face and would go to great lengths to stay by her side.

### Kate

Maryrose and Kate met after Kates Debut and Maryrose tried to befriend her with being on the same team and all. Later on Maryrose and Kate have become more acquainted and see eachother more often.

### Barbara

During Barbaras and Maryroses backstory we see Maryrose and Barbara getting along indicating that in the past they had a good relationship. Maryrose was the one to try cheer Barbara up after her Debut whilst Barbara was on edge.

### Christopher

Maryrose and Christopher had a somewhat close relationship and were good friends, even being confused for a budding couple by Barbara, right before Maryrose shut the prospect down by saying their relationship is not of "that" type.

### Anthony

It could be inferred that even though they're likely confidants in one another, they aren't on the best of terms due to their clashing beliefs.

### Edward

Maryrose and Edward knows each other since the days of Christopher's Star Bearer era. She dislikes how Edward have no remorse for the death of Ed after he did the unification as if he meant nothing.

## Power & Abilities

### Soot Power

Maryrose has a physical-type ability. She can remotely control an object with her soot, though she can only move small and light object due to her low soot capacity.

Maryrose also recently re-awakened her soot power, allowing her to create and manipulate scorches, as well as absorbing other Shadows' Soot to further increase the scorches' numbers. If the number of scorches exceed a certain amount, she can merge them into a Phantom.

## Etymology

* **Maryrose** can be split in two root names. "Mary" and "Rose".
	+ **Mary**, anglicized form of "Maria", which is derived from the Hebrew "Miryām" meaning "sea of bitterness, sea of sorrow", some sources give the alternative definitions of "rebellion," "wished-for child," and "mistress or lady of the sea".
	+ **Rose**, a "rose flower".

## Trivia
