## Character History

### Season One

In The Beginning of the End, in the morning announcements it is stated that Marisol has reported "...a blurring at the edges of her vision, as if the sheer verve, rattling around in her heart with nowhere to escape, was fit to blind her" after witnessing The Elephant Man. She later tells Sydney that, while this did happen, she never reported the experience to anyone.

In The Prophecy of Reversal, Marisol comes by Sydney's office with Salem to report that they have found Soren.

In The Norms of the World, Marisol charges The Elephant Man after seeing him and Sydney out behind Cabin Grasshopper due to "...the effect he has." She later admits she isn't able to recall how exactly he got away, being in "a really weird state" at that time.

In The Goo of Friendship, Marisol and Salem host knitting lessons together with "non-sentient yarn (we swear)." Marisol also forages for sprouts with campers as an afternoon activity.

In The Enemies of Labor, Marisol hosts a game of forty-player, twenty-dimensional chess in Cabin Grasshopper, in which the bishops get real guns.

In The Love of Mother, Marisol manages to provoke clouds into making lightning during the Counselor Olympics, earning her a victory in the electricity channeling game. By the afternoon, she is winning on Sydney's secret points system, although in the end she is beaten by Marie Ann. She also informs Sydney that during the scavenger hunt she stumbled upon a clearing in the forest surrounded by large stones. This clearing contained animal bones strewn about and a statue of a robed woman offering up the corpse of a white rabbit. She tells him that she did not investigate further, since she heard rustling and saw someone approaching, and instead ran right back to tell him about it.

In The Stones in Toilets, Marisol is ordered to help Sydney clean the toilets, since she also participated in sharing information about The Elephant Man to the campers. However, when the two of them arrive at the bathroom, they find that instead of being covered in goo, it is completely spotless, save for a tall, red candle burning on the floor and emanating the scent of mischief. Since this means they no longer have to do the cleaning, she and Sydney hang out by the bonfire for the evening instead.

In The Toilet of Reality, Marisol attends a mediation session with Salem, hosted by Jedidiah. She explains that she is very concerned about The Elephant Man, and believes that Sydney is right to speak about his own fears on the announcements to keep the campers informed about the potential threat. She also expresses that she feels ignored and dismissed when people say that the camp shouldn't be concerned about The Elephant Man. By the end of the session, she and Salem have reached an understanding, and Marisol resolves to call her one meeting in the next few days to try to convince Lucille to do something about The Elephant Man.

In The Hallucination of the Hive, Marisol fills on as a substitute lake guard along with Juniper for Lake Day. She and Salem advocate for the cancellation of the afternoon kayak race, first to make time to deal with the Elephant Man, then due to the threat of bees, and many campers join their cause after seeing Mila and Juno's very painful stings.

In The Hive of Anxiety, Marisol tries to bring up The Elephant Man during the camp-wide staff meeting, but is quickly shut down by Lucille.

In The Boys of Secrets, Marisol joins Jedidiah on the announcements to ask any campers that see The Elephant Man to report his whereabouts to her immediately.

In The Wood of the Caskets, Marisol goes to check on Cabin Widowspider after Mila and Juno do not show up to morning counselor's assembly, and finds the whole cabin still in bed, completely stiff and still, with a ghastly, veiny complexion. Sydney says that it was good that she checked on them when she did, otherwise things could have gotten even worse. Later in the day, Marisol orders pizza for the campers for lunch and buys some containers full of cheese and buttered crackers for dinner at HarmlessMart.

In The Hatred of the Hunt, Marisol and Joshua attempt to measure the depth of the new river by taping a bunch of meter sticks together and shoving the resulting device into the water. The results are inconclusive.

In The Muse of the Elephant/The Elephant in the Room, Sydney tells Marisol and Salem that he'll miss them, and that he hopes they have a peaceful year together in their apartment.
