Appearance
Marion has blond hair and green eyes. She is almost always shown in black gothic lolita dress, black hair ties, black shoes, and white stockings. She has a different appearance while watching Team "The Ren" fight team earth.

Personality
Marion is calm and thinks most things are boring. She is a very sad person and hates people because growing up she was called a witch and it can be assumed she was shunned as well. Marion likes Asakura Hao, and like most of his followers, is extremely loyal. She is commonly seen saying that she "wants to kill her enemies" and takes great offense when anyone speaks bad of Hao.

Spirit

 * See More: Chuck

Her spirit is a doll with a large revolver stuck to its hand, named Kirisaki Gun or 'Baby Chuck'. It greatly resembles Manta Oyamada.

Past
When she was little Marion was given her doll, along with Chucks gun. Because his spirit protects whoever owns the gun he protected Marion, even shooting her father when he tried to hurt her for being a witch. After that she ran away with Chuck and got lost in an alley way where Hao later found her.

Shaman Fights First Round
Marion has made many appearances in without even speaking. She made appearances in the title pages Reincarnation 1: The Boy Who Dances With Ghosts and Reincarnation 15: Fists Of Rage. She is one of the shamans shown when the comet comes in Reincarnation 26. She is also shown arguing to Kanna Bismarch and Matilda Matisse over Tao Ren and Asakura Yoh while watching their fight before the opening ceremony. She is next to Kanna and Matilda behind the golem and one of the shamans shown when Asakura Yoh, Horohoro, "Wooden Sword" Ryu, and Tao Ren meet Asakura Hao before they board the airplane to America. She is shown when Hao enters the Patch Village. She is shown in some other title pages afterwords.

Shaman Fights Second Round
The fight against T-production is very short and is not shown. When the fight is over Matilda Matisse calls her Mari for short.

Marion, Kanna, and Matilda fight Tamamura Tamao and Tao Jun while trying to get Redseb and Seyrarm's souls for the Spirit of Fire. When Kanna is fighting them Marion is crying because the fight isn't boring. She fights Tamao with Chuck and finally shows her powers. She starts fighting Tao Jun and says she wants to kill them. She starts crying and they say they joined Asakura Hao because everyone called them witches. They were about to kill Tamao and Jun but Asakura Mikihisa comes and saves them. He says this battle is pointless and she says he's creepy and is completely affected by him coming.

He easily defeats them and then slaps all three of them. He throws away Kanna's cigarette but and tells Marion that dolls are something to be played with. Marion attacks him together with her friends but is suddenly stopped by Magna of the Ten Patch Officiants, the official responsible for Marion and her team. He tells them to leave as their are still useful to Hao.

Invading the Plants
After failing in destroying the bodies of Team "The Ren" they are called by Blocken Meyer to deal with something at the beach. It is there that Peyote Diaz, after a heated discussion with Mohamed Tabarsi decides to go balistic with his O.S. "Grande Phantasma"(O.S. 大きい・ファンタズム) and kills almost everyone, until he makes fall upon himself and kill himself and herself, together with her teammates. She is then later revived with the rest of Hanagumi.

Funbari no Uta
She later work at the Funbari inn with her team mates. She is often scolded by Tamamura Tamao for being too gloomy.

Anime/Manga Difference
Mari did not speak in 3rd person in the English Anime. However, she did in the original Japanese, and the Hanagumi never died in the anime, and stayed with Hao the entire time. The part where Peyote killed them did not occur, and so they were not killed off.

Trivia

 * In the first character poll she is called Doll Master.
 * Instead of calling Marion by her given name, she calls her Mari for short.
