**Marceline "Marcy" Wu** is a major character in the 2019 television series, *Amphibia*, and one of the eighteen main protagonists in the direct sequel, *Amphibiland*. She is a young Taiwanese-American teenage girl and the childhood best friend of Anne Boonchuy and Sasha Waybright and the member of the Modern Family. When the three are teleported to the world of Amphibia through the magic of a music box, Marcy lands in Newtopia where her intelligence and ingenuity catches the attention of King Andrias and his people. Marcy soon becomes the king’s advisor, and an unknowing pawn in his plans for invading world. After Andrias' treachery was revealed Marcy became a host for the Core, she represents the emerald of intelligence on the Calamity Box.

## Background

Marcy is close friends Anne and Sasha and serves as the brains of the trio, is an expert gamer, and has many clumsy moments which that Anne and Sasha have to counter. She learned of a mysterious chest located in some store that she, Anne, and Sasha stole it from and was alongside them when Anne opens it which sends her, Sasha, and herself to Amphibia. Upon arrival in Amphibia and being found by the inhabitants of Newtopia, Marcy serves Andrias as his close aide and chief ranger of the Newtopian Knight Guard. Unaware that he is secretly plotting a mysterious agenda involving her and her friends.

### Personality

Marcy is an intelligent young female, and is often seen researching things and taking notes. She is curious and takes interest in culture, being the one who discovered the Calamity Box. Marcy is also cunning and resourceful. In addition, Marcy is a good listener as she listens to her friends about their problems as she offers them advice or comfort for whatever is bothering them. Marcy has shown to be a peace maker as she tried to smooth out arguments between her friends, especially Anne and Sasha. Also, Marcy is very clumsy, but she generally remains forgetful and unbothered by it. Back on earth, Marcy was somewhat dependent on her friends, as she constantly relied on Anne to look out for her, and was used to having Sasha make decisions for her. Ever since she came to Amphibia, however, she has learned to take care of herself better, and make her own decisions without many people's influence. Despite this, both she and Anne are still often affected by Sasha's influence.

She loves video games, research and puzzles. Marcy is also a highly energetic and bubbly person, and gets easily excited about anything that interests her. Even things such as seeds, history, and other things girls her age normally wouldn't be interested in will cause her to talk nonstop. While people like Rosemary, Lavender and Ginger would view her as a weirdo because of her quirky personality, this would lead to her becoming friends with Maddie Flour, as well as training as Maddie's apprentice in the magical arts. Despite her intelligence, Marcy is also a very naive person as she trusts the people around her. A trait that allows people like her friend Sasha, Captain Grime, Mayor Toadstool, and King Andrias to use her to their advantage. After Sasha revealed that she played her and Anne just to put Grime's invasion plan into motion, Marcy was not only shocked of her betrayal but also refused to side with her because of her actions and now sees how controlling she can be. Also, when King Andrias revealed his true nature once he's been given the Calamity Box, Marcy was horrified to discover she had been used by a genocidal maniac.

Marcy cares about Anne and Sasha greatly as she missed them when they were separated in Amphibia. However, upon reuniting with Anne and Sasha at different times, Marcy was happy to see them again and was relived that they were okay, which shows that she was concerned about them. Also, Marcy cares about her other friends as she would do anything to help them just like she would for Anne and Sasha. In addition, Marcy tries her best to make her friends happy, as shown in "A Day at the Aquarium," when she encouraged Anne to go with the Plantars instead of staying with her in Newtopia. Marcy also easily forgives her friends whenever they make a mistake as she would mostly see the good side of their intentions over the bad.

In "True Colors", it is revealed Marcy has fears of loneliness and is insecure about being separated from her friends. On Anne's birthday, when she was informed by her family they would be moving to a new state, Marcy was heartbroken as she knew she had to leave her friends behind. When Marcy discovered the Calamity Box and its mystical powers, she revealed its existence to her friends so they would use it to go on adventures together, despite not believing the box to actually have powers. It is also implied that the relationship she has with her family is strained, as she rarely talked about them to anyone except for Andrias or didn't even seem to miss them even once during her time in Amphibia. Marcy doesn't even appear to be bothered by the idea of never seeing her parents again.

Marcy also has shown to have a selfish side as she decides to run away from her parents by using the Calamity Box to go to a new world and take her friends with her by tricking them into stealing it. In addition, Marcy wasn't considering how Anne and Sasha would feel about it as she wanted all three of them to stay together forever. After King Andrias revealed that she sent her friends to Amphibia on purpose, Marcy tried to justify her actions, saying she helped her friends grow as people and Anne forming a friendship with Sprig. However, upon seeing her friends old and new being disgusted with her actions, Marcy not only realizes that her actions caused Anne and Sasha's trust in her but also sees how selfish she was to them for taking them away from their lives back home. Marcy decides to make amends for her actions by helping her friends fight King Andrias, save Sprig from danger and use the Calamity Box to send everyone back home. Unfortunately, Marcy gets stabbed by Andrias as she accepts her fate and showed her remorse by apologizing to Anne for everything she has done before succumbing to her wounds.

Although her efforts in making amends for her actions helped Anne escape back to Earth and Sasha to Wartwood, Marcy thinks that it wasn’t enough to show her friends how truly sorry she was for everything she has done and knows it’s gonna take a lot more to win their trust back in her. Marcy also fears that Anne and Sasha won't forgive her or want to be her friend anymore.

### Physical Appearance

She is an Asian teenage girl with a tall slim body, short black hair with a green barrette on the side of her head.

In Amphibia, Marcy wears a faded grey hooded cape, complete with a white-furred collar which is held together with a light shell. She also wears a brown metal chest plate, a stitched skirt, and grey winter snow boots which are wrapped with studded straps. Marcy has gray finger-less gloves on each of her hands, moreover, her signature primary weapon seems to be a golden hand-mounted crossbow that is fitted onto her right forearm and glove.

While being possessed by the Core, Marcy has been placed in an black and purple suit of armor with matching boots, the Core's symbol in the center , a Helmet with Ten Eyes and a Cord on top of the Helmet, and wearing a Cape.

## Trivia

* Marcy is confirmed to be a gamer. She is shown playing a device that is shown to resemble a Nintendo Switch.
* Marcy's betrayal and backstab is foreshadowed throughout the series.
	+ In season 1, Marcy has a nefarious look on her face while Anne steals the music-box.
	+ Throughout the intros to season 2, Marcy appears cloaked with the Calamity Box overtop of Anne and Sasha as they sword fight. This represents Marcy as a greater threat in the story than Sasha and Anne's conflict, cloaks her as to imply mystery and hidden true identity, and has her back turned to the camera as lighting strikes it, paralleling Andrias stabbing her in the back with his flaming sword.
	+ In Marcy's first episode with dialogue in Season 2, Sprig spends the episode convinced she is going to betray the group.
		- In the same episode, in a flashback Sasha tells Anne that, "One of these days she's going to get herself killed".
	+ The rest of the group functioning as flip-wart pieces in The First Temple while Marcy controls them with intent to not get any of them hurt only to obliviously inflict harm on all of them parallels Marcy manipulating Anne and Sasha into entering Amphibia, believing it to be for their best interest only for both to get hurt. Sprig also has the line, "You wouldn't be saying that if you were the pawn", foreshadowing Marcy being Andrias' pawn.
	+ When Maddie first meets Marcy, flames burst from behind Marcy's back and she falls over in a parallel to her backstabbing.
	+ After the three gems were recharged, Marcy fearfully stops Anne from using it until they meet King Andrias back in Newtopia.
	+ Following the Battle of the Bands when Anne is letting the frogs know they'll be going home soon, Marcy can be seen with a nervous and quizzical expression on her face.
* Marcy's voice actress Haley Tju, voiced Karmi on *Big Hero 6: The Series*. Interestingly, Tju is the only voice out of the main three human characters to actually be a teenager (at least at the time of recording her dialogue). Both Brenda Song and Anna Akana are in their late 20's, early 30's (again, at the time of recording).
	+ Tju played the younger version of London Tipton (Song's other role) in "A London Carol".
* Marcy Wu is the only character to receive design changes between seasons.
* Throughout season 2, Marcy has a butterfly motif.
* Contrary to her actual debut, in "Best Fronds" the brief appearance of Marcy implied that she herself was also somewhat manipulative of Anne. This is explained by "True Colors" revealing she intentionally wanted the three of them transported to Amphibia. So she wouldn't be alone.
* Marcy has shown possible traits of ASD and ADHD, but it hasn't been officially confirmed.
	+ When asked if Marcy is Autistic in a reddit thread, Matt responded, "She was not written with that intention but I think we get to know our characters better as we write them. In many ways they tell us who they are, not vice versa. I am so happy to see people identify with her in this way."
* Marcy's fate in season three is similar to Echo and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader from *Star Wars* due to:
	+ Gets injured to protect their allies (Presumed dead for Echo, war wounds for Anakin, stabbed for Marcy)
	+ Gets connected by wires by their enemies (CIS for Echo, Andrias for Marcy)
	+ Gets the villain to stab in the back (Andrias to Marcy, a common thing in Star Wars)
	+ Gets recovered and overseen by the bad guy. (King Andrias, Darth Sidious)
	+ Gets evil by the bad guy (Fallen to the Dark Side for Anakin, Possessed for Marcy)
* At the very end of Marcy's Theme Song Takeover, she says, "Hope nothing bad ever happens to me," which proves to be Tempting Fate as she is turned into a physical host for the Core by King Andrias.
* Despite that Marcy officially made her debut almost midway into Season 2, she quickly became the show's most popular and beloved character. The number of views of her own "Theme Song Takeover" surpassed Sasha's in just a few days on "YouTube".
* When possessed by the Core, the credits list her name as "Darcy", which likely refers to the name of her possessed form.
	+ The name "Darcy" is a pun on darkness.
* Marcy is shown to have a fondness for butterflies and moths.
* In *Amphibia*, she is a supporting character introduced in Season 2, and in *Amphibiland*, she was branded as a main character and become part of the Modern Family.
