Marcie Evans

**Marcie Evans** is the main protagonist in the film, *The Good Daughter*. She is the female version of Mark Evans, the main protagonist in the film, *The Good Son*. She is the cousin and archenemy of Henrietta Evans, the film’s main protagonist and female version of Henry Evans.

**Biography**

Marcie is from Phoenix, Arizona. She lives in Arizona with her dad, Jack Evans, and her mom, Janice Evans, and loves playing soccer. Her mom died when she was twelve years old from a serious illness, and she had been struggling with PTSD and depression.

**Role In The Film**

Marcie is first shown playing a soccer game in Arizona until her father, Jack, picks him up and takes her to see her dying mother in the hospital. She keeps promising her that she will not die, but to no avail, as she is later at her funeral.

As her father has a business trip in Japan, Marcie is dropped off to live in Maine with her uncle Wallace, aunt Susan, and cousins Henrietta and Connie. Henrietta and Marcie get along at first, but in discussing the death of Marcie's mother and that of Henrietta's baby brother Richard, Henrietta is fascinated with death, and that makes Marcie uncomfortable. Henrietta pressures Marcie into smoking a cigarette, though Marcie says it gives them cancer. Henrietta says that she will die sooner or later anyway.

What leads Marcie into finally finding out how bad Henrietta is when Henry tricks her into helping her drop a dummy called "Mr. Highway" from a bridge, causing a traffic accident, much to Marcie's shock. When Henrietta Evans shows no remorse even after her evil actions so far, Marcie tells Henrietta that she is sick. Later, Marcie reads Henrietta's little sister, Connie, a bedtime story. The next day, she tries to save Connie (whom Henrietta pushed onto thin ice at a skating rink), but many people get in her way. She tries convincing her aunt and uncle how bad Henrietta is, but neither listens, and she is dismissed as lying. She calls her father (who is still in Tokyo) to explain Henrietta's psychopathic behavior, and the latter tells her she'll come back, but in the meantime, to see Dr. Alice Davenport (who later says she doesn't believe in evil). Marcie warns her that she should.

At another point, because she thought Henrietta poisoned the food, Marcie tries disposing of it, but is stopped by Aunt Susan and Uncle Wallace.

Later, after Henrietta has egged Marcie into killing her, Wallace has caught Marcie about to kill him and locks her in his study to await Dr. Davenport. As there is no way out, she sees Susan and Henrietta going out for a walk, and she breaks out of the study using a chair. At the last minute, she arrives at a cliff and comes to her aunt's rescue when she pounces on Henrietta (who was trying to drop a rock on her mother) and they fight until they both fall over the cliff (but Susan catches them).

Despite wanting to save them both, as Henrietta was her daughter, and Marcie was right all along, she realizes that each girl required both hands to pull up, and thus she can only pull one girl up, and has to decide which one to save. Finally, with Marcie's grip slipping due to her bloody hand, and now knowing Henrietta's evil nature (and that she would try to kill her again), after saying "Henrietta!", Susan painfully forces herself to drop Henrietta in order to pull Marcie up. They both see Henrietta's dead body wash away and share an emotional embrace.

Finally, Marcie is back in Arizona. As she looks on at the horizon, she reflects (in a closing narration) that sometimes, late at night, she thinks about Susan and wonders if she'd make the same choice if she did it again. She says she'll always wonder, but knows she'll never ask.
