OmniDrive

**Marissa**, better known by her online handle **OmniDrive** or Omni for short, is a character in *Magical Girl Policy*. Only mentioned offhand in the main series, she appears in the "Round Object Enthusiasts" and "A Sign of Things To Come" vignettes. Prior to graduating from Schuyler Adamson University last year, she was an officer in the nerd club SFEERS. In the present, she is married to former SFEERS president Esper and remains in touch with the club, where she is among several graduates with the reverential "Old One" label. She is the older sister of Fretribution. It can be assumed she was born with the last name Hales like her brother, but her name after marriage has not been stated.

## Appearance

OmniDrive is a short and thin young woman. Her eyes are ice blue, and her hair is thin and brown. She is waifish and considered plain-looking overall.

## Personality

OmniDrive is a cheerful, outgoing person, known throughout SFEERS for personally recruiting many of its members. She is very sensitive, however, being poor at handling confrontation and not overly comfortable with physical contact. When her composure is broken, she has difficulty collecting herself in the company of others. She is a hard worker, and her expression is said to light up when she's particularly enthralled with a task. Her interests cover much of SFEERS's relevant nerd hobbies, with her enjoying cosplay and drawing. Despite her work in SFEERS and heading a cosplay group suggesting she has a leader's qualities, she does not consider herself a good leader.

## Abilities

OmniDrive is skilled at art and design, having drawn SFEERS's sign and decorated its Club Week booth to noticeably improve them.

## Biography

### Background

Four years ago, Marissa joined SFEERS as a freshman at SAU using the handle OmniDrive. She befriended a sophomore member called Esper, who went on to become club president. At some point during her first two years at the club, she became an officer herself, though her exact position is not stated.

During the summer leading up to her junior year, when OmniDrive complains about SFEERS's low membership of about thirty members, her brother Eddie suggests she make a new sign that would draw people in. She takes this advice, joining with her brothers and several of her friends to draw recognizable characters for the design. In "Round Object Enthusiasts", she presents the completed sign to Esper at SFEERS's Club Week booth, which she has also decorated herself this year. He schedules the booth's first shift to be run by OmniDrive, SaltStorm, and GalleyGirl, the latter of which had joined OmniDrive's cosplay group over the summer and helped with the sign. Having heard of SaltStorm beginning to form a SFEERS *Aspect Realms* guild, Esper and OmniDrive think he should run for video gaming officer and succeed BlackNovember, who Esper had to deal with once again for provoking arguments on the forums. Esper is set to graduate this year, but he has no idea who might become the next president, with OmniDrive declining the suggestion to run herself. OmniDrive asks on behalf of Eddie, who plans to join SFEERS as Fretribution, if he could work at the booth as well, and Esper agrees.

Over the course of a year, Esper finally acts on his long-held feelings for OmniDrive and asks her out, so they begin dating, continuing to do so after Esper graduates. In "A Sign of Things To Come", OmniDrive reuses the sign she made last year for SFEERS's Club Week booth, but it is taken by Student Association members, who claim the use of copyrighted characters breaks regulations. SaltStorm and Fretribtuion, who are now video gaming officer and president respectively, find her in tears at this. After she explains what happened, Fretribution believes the previous sign is at Esper's house and asks OmniDrive to retrieve it, as he presumes she has a key to her boyfriend's place. She is surprised he deduced her relationship since it had been secret, but does as she's told and leaves for Esper's home.

After OmniDrive graduates from SAU, she and Esper get married over the summer. By that point, their relationship is widely known to their friends, so several SFEERS members attend. She remains in touch with those in SFEERS, becoming known as one of the "Old Ones", and is referred to as the "matriarch" of the club's informal cosplay group.

### Weeks 2-4

OmniDrive attends the SFEERS opening social with Esper, as they and other "Old Ones" that had graduated were invited by Fretribution.

## Relationships

### Fretribution

OmniDrive is very close to her younger brother Eddie, along with her other younger brothers, though they also liked to annoy each other growing up. She is shown to proud of Eddie, and Eddie is protective of her. Eddie would join SFEERS after her as Fretribution, sharing her enthusiasm for the club even before he could attend his first meeting.

### Esper

OmniDrive became friends with Esper soon after joining SFEERS. As he became club president and she an officer, they would often work together as well. While Esper is known to have been attracted to her early on but too nervous to ask her out on a date until his senior year, OmniDrive's feelings are not stated. He graduated a year before her, and it's implied he remained closely involved with SFEERS in large part because she was there. Their relationship was not widely known to their friends and family at first, with Fretribution having to deduce it from OmniDrive's behavior. This would change by the time OmniDrive graduated, as several of their friends from SFEERS attend their wedding that summer.

### SFEERS

OmniDrive joined SFEERS as a freshman. She would later become an officer, with some of her contributions including the design of a sign and booth for Club Week as well as recruiting a large number of new members. Between her promotion efforts and heading SFEERS's informal cosplay group, it is said that nearly every member knew her at least tangentially. With her great popularity, she is respectfully referred to as one of the "Old Ones" after her graduation. She keeps in touch with her friends from SFEERS and is apparently still involved with the cosplay group, which refers to her as its matriarch. Some of her friends in the club include GalleyGirl, AcidicBase, SaltStorm, and two unseen members called Spellsong and Monochrome. SaltStorm is known to have attended her wedding, and AcidicBase is implied to have also been there.

### SAU Student Association

Throughout her time as a SFEERS officer, OmniDrive has had poor experiences with the Student Association. She finds them to never be of help, and was devastated when they confiscated her SFEERS sign in a seeming overreach of authority.
