Profile

Marie is a mysterious girl the protagonist meets when he first arrives in Inaba. She does not remember the first time they meet, but he begins seeing her more once he starts visiting the Velvet Room where she takes up residence. Marie goes back and forth between being appreciative and abrasive to the protagonist. One moment she might be thanking him for taking her to eat steak skewers, while the next moment she calls him a stupid jerk. As it turns out, Marie has no memories. The protagonist can take her around Inaba, introducing her to his friends, trying to help her remember something about herself, and make her own new memories. Marie is also known to write poetry that reflects her mental state. Periodically, the protagonist will find one of Marie's poems on the floor of the limousine. After the protagonist finishes reading it, Marie will rush in and take it back, embarrassed.

Marie wears punk style clothing. After entering the Velvet Room, she also wears a blue hat and bag that make her look like a postwoman. Soejima dressed her this way to contrast her with the fancier Velvet Room and to give her the appearance of someone who distances herself from people but is actually quite lonely and wants to be perceived.[1]
