Biography
At 7 years old (6 years old prior to "Strife of the Party"), Marsha Mello is the third youngest of the Scott siblings. She is also Jessicake's twin sister (younger by two minutes), with whom she attends the 2nd grade (1st grade in Seasons 1–4) at Eagle View Elementary School.

Personality
Marsha Mello is a sharp-tongued beauty queen. She carries a great sense of self-importance, and is always ready to be on the offense if someone crosses her. She can be quite materialistic and will go to great lengths to get what she wants. She is particularly skilled at making money (even if she must deceive others), and dedicates much of her time to winning beauty pageants. Despite being image-focused she takes school seriously, and makes it a point to get her work done in order to allow her the flexibility to focus on pageant training. Marsha Mello's interests include anything girly - this includes fashion shows, makeup, and posing for photo shoots. She is constantly claiming how beautiful she is, and can't look away from a mirror for more than five seconds, which gets on everybody's nerves. Even though she is determined to get her way most of the time, she often shows remorse or guilt if she hurts the feelings of one of her family members.
As seen in a few episodes (such as "Undie Pressure", "Sound of Silence", and "A Tattler's Tale"), she is skilled at plotting and scheming to get her way. She has the most tense temper of all of the siblings, and so her siblings, especially Tyler, are careful not to get on her bad side and to carry the mandates she demands.
However, in spite of her strident and self-centered nature, Marsha Mello is also compassionate as she loves her siblings. She is always grateful for Tyler's kindness towards her, and usually appreciates her family's company. At times, she has shown herself to be capable of humility and selflessness when compelled to let go of her own needs, so she isn't completely heartless. In addition, when one of her siblings is in trouble, she shows genuine concern, and often cooperates with her other siblings to cheer them up. One example is when she helped all her siblings pass a test they didn't study for, even if she failed her own during "No Place Like Homeschool".

CN Description

Appearance
From the first season up until the fourth season, Marsha Mello is fair skinned and her hair resembles a marshmallow with two ponytails that frame her face. Her dress is in whites, pinks, blues and yellows. She wears pink socks with blue slippers.
Starting from Season 5 onwards, Marsha Mello has a different outfit. Her original head is retained, but she now wears a white nightgown that resembles a marshmallow and her sleeves are colored blue and pink. She also now wears white bunny slippers.
During development, Marsha Mello's dress was more frilly, her sash was white, her ponytail clips were more decorative, and she had straight hair, and her front teeth.
Her swim wear is a swimming dress called a "swim gown", and she uses plastic wrap to protect her outfit when she's swimming, because she doesn't like to be splashed with water. Her nightwear is a white nightgown, that looks similar to her normal attire, except it doesn't have a sash, or a white pearl necklace attached to her white dress. She doesn't wear white gloves, either. It sometimes has short, poofy sleeves on it, as shown in "Room with a Feud". Her snow attire is a white tundra coat with matching pants, light pink earmuffs, and purple mittens with matching boots.

Ponytails
Marsha Mello's ponytails frame her face that she styles in almost every episode she appears in. The only time she doesn't style it is when she sleeps. So far, the ponytails had prominence in the episode "A Tattler's Tale", where she hooked a microphone to them, in order to hear her siblings talk about their secrets.

Alternate Versions
Marco Mello
*Main article: Genderbent Aberdale*

In an alternate universe where the sisters are boys, Marsha Mello is a boy named Marco Mello. Similar to Marsha Mello, Marco Mello is dressed like a taffy, and drives a toy car similar to Marsha Mello's pink one. Unlike Marsha Mello, who is missing her front teeth, Marco Mello is missing his canines.
Marco Mello shares similar personalities with Marsha Mello, such as having a rivalry towards his brother Jessecake (Jessicake), and threatening to tell on Mom. However, he is hostile toward Tyler, laughing at him after Rose Bloom (Rosie Bloom) uses him to clean the toilet, when Leon bites his thumb when he gets a "boo-boo", and stealing two of his shirts, because his were dirty. He also plays keep-away with the time watch Tyler needed to get back home. He also calls Tyler a loser, which is an insult neither Marsha Mello, nor any of his other sisters have ever called him.
In another alternate universe, Marco Mello is shown to be caring towards Tyler, who is a girl named Tyla here, similar to Marsha Mello.
Marco Mello eventually ceases to exist when it was revealed the entire adventure was just a dream.

Queen of Diamonds
In the minicomic Deuces Wild! and its animated adaptation, Marsha Mello interprets the superheroine called Queen of Diamonds, who is also one of Ace Savvy's sidekicks. Her power is using her diamond cape to shine bright light on her target and blind them. In the comic, she is summoned by Savvy (played by Tyler) alongside the rest of Savvy's deck (played by the rest of her sisters) to help him and One-Eyed Jack (played by Sydney) to defeat the gas monster. After they defeat it, they prepared to fight against a garbage monster. This was a fantasy Tyler and Sydney had, based on changing Apple Blossom's diaper and taking the trash out.
She appears in Tyler and Sydney's comic they made up for a contest in "Pulp Friction", where she throws her diamond tiara to stop some thugs.
In "Kings of the Con", she dresses as the Queen of Diamonds for a convention, impressing everybody there along with her sisters.
The Queen of Diamonds wears a diamond tiara, diamond earrings, a deep pink cape with white lining and a diamond pattern, a pale pink dress with a diamond insignia on the front, pale pink boots, and gloves like Marsha Mello's usual ones. Her name comes from her interest in royalty, the Queen of Hearts character from *Alice in Wonderland* and the children's nursery rhyme, and the diamond suit in a deck of cards.

Bernadette
*Main article: The Scott Rabbits § Bernadette*

Bernadette is the rabbit version of Marsha Mello. Like Marsha Mello, Bernadette is a tattletale and threatens to tell their mother about Warren (Tyler's alter-ego) running away.

Princess DeMarsha
**Princess DeMarsha** is Marsha Mello's alter-ego in the story she and her siblings made up in "A Dark and Story Night".
Princess DeMarsha looks a lot like Marsha Mello, but wears a white, cone-shaped hat, and a more old-fashioned style dress. She is also the princess of an alien kingdom, hence her title.
In the story, Triton (Tyler's alter-ego) asks DeMarsha for help after the battery in his spaceship ran out. She reveals that she is looking for shards of a broken crystal used to bring electricity to her kingdom and he agrees to help her search.
