[b][u]Name[/u][/b]: Mari Palladino
[b][u]Age[/u][/b]: 19
[b][u]Gender[/u][/b]: Female
[b][u]Appearance[/u][/b]: At first glance, Mari could easily be mistaken for a sickly boy. Traces of asian ancestry are visible within her mostly caucasian face. Her skin has an almost unhealthy lack of colour. While cut to her ears, her brown hair is dull and messy. Her eyes lack any bright colours, resembling two stones rather than romantic jewels. Large bags are under each eye, a testament to her lack of sleep. Her attire is baggy and chosen simply because it hides her body. She has two unique identifiers: the set of asymmetrical earrings she wears and tattoos of esoteric symbols on the fingers of her left hand. Horizontal scars litter her forearms, but most had since faded. Conversely, large vertical scars are visible on her palms and cutting across the old scars.

[b][u]Relevant Info[/u][/b]: Mari doesn't really have much in her life, but what she does have is irreplaceable to her. Her entire family is either estranged or deceased. The only human person she cares about is her boyfriend Sho. Together, Mari and him have a mutt named Hope. If anything happened to Hope, Mari would probably kill whatever harmed Hope and then herself. While they find themselves homeless at times, they have recently found peace and safety in a small, busted apartment. While most would hate living in such a place where everything is constantly on the verge of breaking, the three live a relatively secluded and happy life.

[hider]Mari has killed her mother. Her father had since become estranged quickly after her birth, meaning that the young Mari was raised solely by her mother. Her mother was, for lack of a better term, abusive and delusional. Mari was alienated by everyone due to the actions of her mother. When she finally formed a meaningful relationship with someone and revealed this relationship to her mother, she was beaten. Her boyfriend, trying to protect her, struck her mother over the head enough times to make her stop. As they ran, Mari had noticed that her mother was still breathing. Without anyone knowing, she had struck the final blow before she left.[/hider][/hider]
