* Face
* Fullbody

**MARI** is the player character and silent main protagonist in *OMARI*. MARI can be controlled and named by the player during the daytime sections, where FARAWAY TOWN and its areas can be explored.

## PROFILE

### APPEARANCE

She has long, black hair with a fringe that slightly covers her eyes. She also has arched eyebrows with eyes pitch black.

In the present, she wears a black sailor uniform along with the collar and sleeves being white and a red ribbon under her collar. She wears a beige skirt with uneven white socks and black shoes. She is visibly pale and thin, due to being a shut-in for four years.

### PERSONALITY

MARI was seen to be supportive and happy throughout the memories. But changed when SUNNY's DEATH. Since then, MARI became a shut-in, and rarely smiles nor speaks anymore. She became blunt and quiet, completely different from her past self. Although not expressing it properly, MARI still does deeply care about her friends as she treasures their memories in MEMORY LANE and the LOST LIBRARY. As of the present, it is stated that MARI is a really good listener by many.

MARI is seen to struggle with lack of self-confidence and self-esteem. As seen, she describes herself as a monster, worthless, and an idiot. These self-worth issues already existed long before SUNNY's death, but only worsened afterward the point where MARI may become suicidal in some endings.

MARI has also always had a very vivid imagination. He enjoys toys and video games and tends to get lost in daydreams. However, after SUNNY's death, these daydreams turned into the full-out escapism of HEADSPACE as she became too afraid to face the truth.

## BACKGROUND

MARI was born with unnamed parents on March 1 with the year simply being unknown, being approximately 19 years old. She had a smaller brother named SUNNY. She lived in FARAWAY TOWN since she was a child, sharing a room with her brother.

As neighbors with KEL and HERO, SUNNY and MARI quickly became friends with them. Not too long after, they met AUBREY and BASIL and befriended them as well. BASIL's photo album shows the group being close friends: going to school together, celebrating birthdays, and building a treehouse.

When MARI became very invested in playing piano, SUNNY wanted to take up the violin to play with her. His wish was granted when his friends gathered enough money to buy him a violin for Christmas. The next year, SUNNY and MARI began practicing for an upcoming music recital together. However, SUNNY did not enjoy violin as he thought he would - he grew frustrated with practicing and MARI's perfectionism, wishing he could spend time with his friends instead.

On the day of the recital, SUNNY reached a breaking point with his frustration and threw his violin down the staircase. MARI soon saw the broken violin and began yelling at him. SUNNY was too disoriented to understand why. He tried to leave by going down the staircase. But MARI, due to anger, pushed him down the staircase, landing on his broken violin.

MARI panicked when SUNNY didn't wake up, and after dragging him to his own bed so he could "rest", broke down after realizing she was dead. BASIL was terrified at this sight as well. As an attempt to help MARI avoid the blame, he guided MARI to hang him on a tree to stage his death as a suicide.

At some point of SUNNY's death, MARI gave up going to school nor college, and began visiting WHITE SPACE more with a black-and-white doppelgänger named OMARI, which seems to portray her 15-year-old self. She cut herself from the outside world and lost contact with her friends, refusing to leave her house at all. With the help of OMARI, MARI repressed her memories of the day SUNNY died, and instead lived in a colorful world named HEADSPACE, but the truth still haunted her in a form named SOMEONE.

## STORY

This article is a work-in-progressThis page is currently unfinished, please be patient for it to be completed.To be added: Practically everything
MARI wakes up after being forced to leave WHITE SPACE. While attempting to get food from the kitchen, she must conquer his fear of heights to go down the stairs, where she encounters SOMETHING IN THE DARK. During the battle, she remembers how to CALM DOWN and uses it to get past her fear. After microwaving and eating the steak in the fridge, she proceeds to get sick and throw it back up. She then hears HELLSU knocking at the door and possibly opens the door for her (depending on the player's choice). Having enough of these horrific visions, MARI heads back to sleep.

MARI wakes up in the morning to the sound of yet another door knocking, this time the person being KEL and HERO. This is when MARI can choose to ignore him and stay indoors, starting the OMARI ROUTE, or she can open the door for KEL and HERO and start going down either the OMARI ROUTE or MARI ROUTE.

### MARI ROUTE

##### THREE DAYS LEFT

After opening the door, MARI gets greeted by an older KEL and an older HERO, who wants to hang out with her before she moves away. This allows MARI to see her old friends again and become more active. The day goes on as MARI, HERO and KEL learn that AUBREY stole BASIL's PHOTO ALBUM, so the three of them have to search where she went off to after a confrontation. Eventually, they find her at the CHURCH and, after a battle, she runs out and returns to her home.
