## Creation

#### Canon:

Mari started off in April 2020 as a genderbend version of Dylan (by then just DP) nicknamed FDP by the creator. As such, her colour scheme was identical to the older Dylan design, namelly the one with the cape. In fact, nearly everything was identical except for the longer hair and the overall-dress that replaced the cape.

She was propperly named not long after, at the same time when she became Dylan's younger sister. During this time she also gained a hammer, but it was wooden and had practically nothing to do with her character.

That same year, in september, Mari had her colour pallet changed to the current pink one, and some traits of the magnetic skills started to show through, namelly the hammer had a magnetic grip and the bracelets were created. Her hat was turned into a beret and she got the burn marks for the first time.

Their design was then kept the same for a good while, excluding the removal of the "MP" symbol and the added fluff to some parts of her outfit. It was only in May 2023 where she was radically redesigned, having lost the mask, long hair and dress in favour of glasses, shorter messier hair and propper overalls. Her boots were also redesigned, now including a metalic border that detaches at will. In addition, the Regalon Gems were added to her bracelets/cuffs as power sources.

#### Other Universes:

Just like Dylan, Mari was also present in every alternate universe made by DP, excluding the Summoners series:

**Mutania/Mutationtale:**
-Mari was planned to be the replacement for Gaster until the story got rebooted. Then they were turned into a fallen scientist, killed in battle for protecting her mutated brother. In this story, Mari's soul was being kept on life support by Dylan himself, who despite not knowing much about science, still tried his hardest to keep his sister alive. In the genocide ending, Mari's soul would be powered by Dylan's despair and fight by his side during the boss fight, while in the peacefull ending her soul would be cured just enough to live hapilly in a robotic vessel.

**Crew Crashers:**

-Mari was originally planned as a "swap" character with Dylan, still in their old canon design and with a moveset focused primarilly on hammer attacks.
-Eventually, though, after a copyright thing, they were both entirely redesigned, with Dylan becoming some kind of futuristic bounty hunter and Mari being a ghost linked to his soul. They were still a 2-in-1 deal, but now they shared a moveset instead of switching in and out.
Mari also had a brief "good ending" concept, where her soul was put in a robotic body under the name of M.R.E. and she could fight freely using her hammer and magnetic skills.
-Mari is currently absent from Crewsaders.

## Abilities and Weapons

### Magnetism

* Mari's main skilset comes from the manipulation of magnetic fields around her around her, which she controls with her bracelets. This allows her to do plenty of tricks such as:
	+ Inverting the polarity of the soles of her boots, detaching them but making her rocket incredibly fast in any direction. The soles are atracted back to her boots after a little while.
	+ Using the same method to throw small metal bombs as if they were bullets.
	+ Swing a hammer bigger than her.
	+ Detach anything made out of metal, granted she knows what kind of metal it is.
	+ Make her whole battle gear oscilate, making her really tricky to hold.

### "The Creature"

* Mari owns a weird, caterpillar-like, bunny-ish robot that is currently unnamed.
* It has laser eyes, can fly, and each ball-like segment can detach and move independently from each other.
* It's also very cuddly and her best friend.
