'''Big Yellow Cat''' is an NPC in ''[[OMORI (game)|OMORI]]''. He is 'The Favorite' of the three great creatures and serves as a guardian to look after [[Omori]]. 
== Profile ==
===Appearance===
The Big Yellow Cat is a large, yellow cat with purple eyes and outline. He watches over Omori in Neighbors room and Neighbor's bedroom, both literally and metaphorically. His eyes follow Omori's position in the room. 
He has a striking resemblance to the calendar in the [[Treehouse]] in the [[Faraway Town|real world]], and some play equipment in [[Faraway park]].

==Story==
===Background===
{{Spoiler|section}}
Before the creation of Headspace, the Big Yellow Cat was the favorite of [[Sunny]]'s three imaginary friends when he became a Hikikomori following [[Mari]]'s death. He was considered Sunny's favorite as he was inspired by the play structure Sunny used to play with from Faraway park. He was later chosen to look after him whenever Omori entered Neighbor's room to play with the dream versions of [[Aubrey]], [[Kel]], and [[Hero]]. In the present, he continues his duty to keep the dreamer safe, waiting for something to happen.
==Quotes==
"Sleep, little one. You are safe with me."
:''- Big Yellow Cat''
"The last and favorite, the Big Yellow Cat, was chosen to watch over the Dreamer's most precious room. He remains the Dreamer's favorite even to this day... watching diligently... waiting for something to happen."
:''- [[Branch Coral]]''

'''Hero''' is one of the three main deuteragonists in ''[[OMORI (game)|OMORI]]'' who make up [[Omori]]'s party.

When [[Tagging|Tagged]], Hero can use his charm to convince others to assist the party, or attain discounts and free items.

===Appearance===
Hero is the oldest and tallest of the party. According to [[Sprout Mole Mike]], he is 5'7" in Headspace.

In Headspace, Hero wears a set of blue-striped pajamas. His hair is unkempt and messy from sleep. Like [[Kel]] and [[Aubrey]], he is barefoot, and his hairs and eyes are the same bluish-purple tint as theirs.

In the real world, Hero has neatly styled brown hair and black eyes. He wears a navy v-neck sweater, grey pants, and white shoes.

===Personality===
Hero is the peacemaker of the group, who tries to restrain his friends whenever they get too worked up. He is described as having a mild personality and being passionate about baking, cooking, and cleaning.<ref>Sprout Mole Mike: His passions include baking, cooking and cleaning... And if that doesn't sound like the perfect man, check out his killer smile and mild personality!</ref>He is also noted to be an extremely hard and talented worker. Kel describes him as being "naturally good at everything,"<ref>Kel: He's naturally good at everything but he still works really hard, so I'm proud of him!</ref> and he becomes the [[Last Resort]]'s best employee less than a day after his employment via contract. [[Mr. Jawsum]] explicitly cites this as a reason for why he refuses to let Hero resign without a fight, and the Last Resort notably completely flops within a day of his absence, as seen during the [[Routes|Omori route]].<ref>Mr. Jawsum: His very presence increases my work output by 700%! I'd be a fool to let go of a worker like him.</ref>

Hero is extremely charismatic, and his charisma allows him to convince others to go along with his requests, get discounts from the [[Mailbox (Character)|Mailbox]] (who cites him as his "best customer") and befriend animals, like [[Ems]]. However, he is a pushover, and often has difficulty telling others "no," such as when Aubrey successfully talks him into attending [[Sweetheart]]'s Quest for Hearts, and his initial reluctance to turn down Sweetheart's marriage proposal until his friends motivate him.

He also has crippling arachnophobia; in Headspace, encountering enemies that are even vaguely spider-like will cause him to begin the battle Afraid, while in the real world, his fear seems to have gotten even worse to the point where he completely shuts down when he catches even a glimpse of a spider in his room.

In the real world, he is significantly more reserved than his depiction in Headspace, which Kel notes is due to Mari's death, and theorizes that he still blames himself for her apparent suicide.

Towards the end of the game, if Sunny examines him as he sleeps at Basil's house, he will describe him as "wise, capable, loving" and as someone "that will always make himself available to help you, even to a fault."

===Background===
Hero was born on January 1st<ref>[https://twitter.com/OMORI_GAME/status/1362572854793887748 Official OMORI Account confirms that Hero's birthday is on January 1st.]</ref> to an [[Kel's dad|unnamed father]] and [[Kel's mom|mother]] approximately 19 years before the start of the game.<ref>In Headspace, he states that he is fifteen years old in the Omori route when Mr. Jawsum hands him ownership of the Last Resort, and it has been four years since Mari's death at the time of the game's events.</ref> Three years later, his younger brother Kel was born. Hero obtained the nickname "Hero" because of his love for [[Hero Sandwich|hero sandwiches]].<ref>Kel: You know... I don't know if I ever told you this, but that's why my brother's nickname is Hero... You'd think it's because of some really cool reason like he saved a puppy when he was a kid or something... but no... He just really likes sandwiches!</ref>

At some point, Hero became friends with his next-door neighbors [[Mari]] and [[Sunny]], then later [[Aubrey]] and [[Basil]]. They, along with Kel, would spend much of their time together. It is implied that Hero and Mari were either dating or simply had mutual feelings for each other, as depicted through many of their interactions both in Headspace and in memories in reality.

When Mari died, Hero became severely depressed and secluded himself from his friends, family, school, and hobbies for about a year, becoming an hikikomori not unlike Sunny. At one point, Kel tried to help Hero out of his depressive episode, but this resulted in Hero taking out his grief and anger on Kel.<ref>Kel: One night... I went over to him while he was all huddled in his blankets and started saying stuff. Stuff like how we all miss him and how we want him to get better... How everyone is really worried... How Mari wouldn't want to see him like this... [...] But Hero... Hero got angry. He suddenly got up and started screaming and yelling at me about a bunch of stuff. Some of it was pretty hurtful, too... but I think I blocked out a lot of it. </ref> His parents immediately rushed to comfort him, ignoring Kel who was also in tears. Noticing this, Hero immediately embraced Kel and apologized. It is after this instance that Hero's depression began to subside, although according to Kel, he is still somewhat closed off.

He once considered becoming a chef partly due to Mari's (and potentially Sunny's) encouragement. However, after her death, he decided to follow his parents' wishes to become a doctor.

==Story==
{{Spoiler}}
===Normal Route===
====Day 1====
Hero is not physically seen on the first day, as he is at college and preparing to return to Faraway for the summer. Nonetheless, he indirectly kicks off the events that take up much of the plot in the real world: Kel invites Sunny to help him pick out a gift to celebrate his return from college, which directly leads them into encountering Aubrey and Basil, an encounter that prompts much of the conflict in the real world.

====Day 2====
Hero is not seen until the evening, although a part of Kel's errands involves picking up a order for a [["Pizza" Order|hero sandwich]] for him from Gino's Pizza.

{{quote|''"Hmm... It looks like Basil's breathing is steady... but we need to get him somewhere warm, quickly."''|Hero's first words, immediately after saving Sunny and Basil}}
When Aubrey accidentally pushes Basil into the lake at their old hideout spot in a fit of rage, Sunny jumps in to save him, although he begins drowning. Hero makes his real-world debut by diving into the lake, saving both Sunny and Basil's lives (although Sunny hallucinates the event as Mari saving him). After the trio carry the waterlogged and unconscious Basil back to his house, Hero properly greets Sunny and Kel, and is surprised at Aubrey's outburst of violence towards Basil, suggesting it to be a misunderstanding.

The trio eventually return to Kel's house, although their mother is upset over their tardiness to dinner. While eating in the living room, they look through Basil's [[Photo Album]], where Hero notices that all photographs of Mari have been removed from the album. Reminiscing over the memories, Hero gets the idea of spending the night at Sunny's house, which Kel escalates into a sleepover, remembering that Sunny hates sleeping alone.

Later that night, after Omori finishes his exploration of [[Black Space]], Sunny awakes to music coming from the piano room. When he comes to investigate, Hero arrives, also having heard it, before confiding in Sunny about Mari's death. He admits that he still misses her every day, and that he doesn't understand why she "chose to leave us the way she did," before prompting Sunny to return to bed, stating that he will join him shortly. If Sunny reenters the piano room, he will see Hero sobbing over the piano, still grieving Mari.

====Day 3====
Hero awakes Sunny early, having cooked him and Kel breakfast and having finished all of Sunny's chores for him as a parting gift of sorts. When [[Kim]] knocks on the door, angry at Kel for "doing something" to Aubrey to make her completely unresponsive and demanding his help, Kel initially brushes her off. Hero is the one who suggests attempting to reach out to her, reasoning that, while Aubrey has changed, he still cares about her, and she likely still cares about them too, deep down.

Meeting up with the Hooligans at Aubrey's house, he finds the door unlocked and enters with Sunny and Kel. They find the place to be in complete disrepair, with Aubrey's mother completely nonresponsive. Heading upstairs to the attic, the friends confront Aubrey, who is initially outraged at their intrusion, screaming at them to get out. After hearing both sides of the conflict, Hero identifies the tension as a "normal Kel and Aubrey fight," and asks them to make-up, before confronting Aubrey about the stolen Photo Album pictures. While he chides Aubrey for the thievery, he nonetheless forgives her for it and helps the group place the photos back, completing the album with the exception of one photo.

Afterwards, the reunited friends attempt to visit Basil's house; when he turns out to be at the hospital, visiting his grandma, Hero suggests heading to the treehouse they had built in Sunny's backyard years prior. When they leave the treehouse, Aubrey breaks down into tears as she admits to her misplaced anger at everyone "moving on" from Mari's death, and her theft of Basil's Photo Album after his alleged vandalism of it. Hero is the one to comfort her, noting that she was the one who restored the photos to pristine condition, and prompts his friends into a group hug, before they return to Basil's house under Aubrey's urging. When they arrive, and discover Basil to be completely unresponsive, Hero suggests a sleepover, both to celebrate Sunny's last day in Faraway and so they'd be there for Basil. Spending the evening hanging out together watching television, the friends eventually fall asleep.

===Abandon Ending===
After remembering the truth, if Sunny chooses to go back to sleep instead of confronting and "saving" Basil, Basil will succeed in killing himself, leaving the entire friend group in despair. Hero, in tears, will beg Sunny not to look at Basil's body and instruct him to go home, saying that they'll "take care" of the situation. He also, unconvincingly, adds that they'll "be okay. I think..."

Notably, the first time he is spoken to, the line "We'll be okay. I think..." is written in the game's alternate, messy font typically associated with [[Something]]. If he is spoken to again, the line will be rendered in the game's normal font.

===Good Ending===
The friend's sleepover is interrupted after they hear [[Basil_(enemy)|Sunny's disastrous attempt to "save" Basil]], ending in Basil grievously injuring Sunny's eye with gardening shears. The three friends presumably call an ambulance for the badly injured boys, going by the sirens heard after Sunny blacks out.

If Sunny refuses to give up when he falls to [[Omori_(enemy)|Omori]]'s assault, he will wake up in the [[Hospital]] and will seek out Basil. Hero will be found in Basil's hospital room along with Kel and Aubrey, checking on him. Sunny proceeds to tell him - and the rest of his friends - the truth behind Mari's death and alleged suicide.

==Trivia==
* Kel notes that Hero's name is actually a nickname. His real name is never mentioned in-game, although the game files occasionally refer to him as Henry.
* Hero will refuse to visit Mari's grave on Two Days Left, stopping Sunny from entering the cemetery and admitting that he's "not ready" for it yet.
* Hero's status as the Last Resort's best employee allows him to enter the toll roads of Deep Well much more cheaply than all other characters, who the Gator Guys attempt to scam.
* Hero's charm does not work on shopkeepers other than the Mailbox. For instance, Smuggler [[Jash]] in the Dungeon will not offer discounts if Hero is leading.
* Hero's favorite foods are chocolate chip cookies and hero sandwiches.<ref>Kel: Look Hero, we got your favorites... some chocolate chip cookies and a big ol' hero sandwich!</ref>
* From version 1.0.7 on, almost all of Hero's healing skills are affected by emotional advantages: He will heal characters who are weak to his current emotion more, and will heal characters who are strong to his current emotion less. The only exception is Tea Time, which is not affected by emotions. It is unclear if this intended behavior, or a glitch.
* Omocat reveals that if they had to relate Hero to anyone in their life, it had to be their brother. They describe him as smart, responsible and always at the top of the class.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUmMu7yioO0?t=1903</ref>
:* He's also deathly afraid of spiders.
:* Like Hero, he also diligently pursues a medical degree, despite being passionate in other interests

Some of it was pretty hurtful, too... but I think I blocked out a lot of it. </ref> His parents immediately rushed to comfort him, ignoring Kel who was also in tears. Noticing this, Hero immediately embraced Kel and apologized. It is after this instance that Hero's depression began to subside, although according to Kel, he is still somewhat closed off.

He once considered becoming a chef partly due to Mari's (and potentially Sunny's) encouragement. However, after her death, he decided to follow his parents' wishes to become a doctor.

==Story==
{{Spoiler}}
===Normal Route===
====Day 1====
Hero is not physically seen on the first day, as he is at college and preparing to return to Faraway for the summer. Nonetheless, he indirectly kicks off the events that take up much of the plot in the real world: Kel invites Sunny to help him pick out a gift to celebrate his return from college, which directly leads them into encountering Aubrey and Basil, an encounter that prompts much of the conflict in the real world.

====Day 2====
Hero is not seen until the evening, although a part of Kel's errands involves picking up a order for a [["Pizza" Order|hero sandwich]] for him from Gino's Pizza.

{{quote|''"Hmm... It looks like Basil's breathing is steady... but we need to get him somewhere warm, quickly."''|Hero's first words, immediately after saving Sunny and Basil}}
When Aubrey accidentally pushes Basil into the lake at their old hideout spot in a fit of rage, Sunny jumps in to save him, although he begins drowning. Hero makes his real-world debut by diving into the lake, saving both Sunny and Basil's lives (although Sunny hallucinates the event as Mari saving him). After the trio carry the waterlogged and unconscious Basil back to his house, Hero properly greets Sunny and Kel, and is surprised at Aubrey's outburst of violence towards Basil, suggesting it to be a misunderstanding.

The trio eventually return to Kel's house, although their mother is upset over their tardiness to dinner. While eating in the living room, they look through Basil's [[Photo Album]], where Hero notices that all photographs of Mari have been removed from the album. Reminiscing over the memories, Hero gets the idea of spending the night at Sunny's house, which Kel escalates into a sleepover, remembering that Sunny hates sleeping alone.

Later that night, after Omori finishes his exploration of [[Black Space]], Sunny awakes to music coming from the piano room. When he comes to investigate, Hero arrives, also having heard it, before confiding in Sunny about Mari's death. He admits that he still misses her every day, and that he doesn't understand why she "chose to leave us the way she did," before prompting Sunny to return to bed, stating that he will join him shortly. If Sunny reenters the piano room, he will see Hero sobbing over the piano, still grieving Mari.

====Day 3====
Hero awakes Sunny early, having cooked him and Kel breakfast and having finished all of Sunny's chores for him as a parting gift of sorts. When [[Kim]] knocks on the door, angry at Kel for "doing something" to Aubrey to make her completely unresponsive and demanding his help, Kel initially brushes her off. Hero is the one who suggests attempting to reach out to her, reasoning that, while Aubrey has changed, he still cares about her, and she likely still cares about them too, deep down.

Meeting up with the Hooligans at Aubrey's house, he finds the door unlocked and enters with Sunny and Kel. They find the place to be in complete disrepair, with Aubrey's mother completely nonresponsive. Heading upstairs to the attic, the friends confront Aubrey, who is initially outraged at their intrusion, screaming at them to get out. After hearing both sides of the conflict, Hero identifies the tension as a "normal Kel and Aubrey fight," and asks them to make-up, before confronting Aubrey about the stolen Photo Album pictures. While he chides Aubrey for the thievery, he nonetheless forgives her for it and helps the group place the photos back, completing the album with the exception of one photo.

Afterwards, the reunited friends attempt to visit Basil's house; when he turns out to be at the hospital, visiting his grandma, Hero suggests heading to the treehouse they had built in Sunny's backyard years prior. When they leave the treehouse, Aubrey breaks down into tears as she admits to her misplaced anger at everyone "moving on" from Mari's death, and her theft of Basil's Photo Album after his alleged vandalism of it. Hero is the one to comfort her, noting that she was the one who restored the photos to pristine condition, and prompts his friends into a group hug, before they return to Basil's house under Aubrey's urging. When they arrive, and discover Basil to be completely unresponsive, Hero suggests a sleepover, both to celebrate Sunny's last day in Faraway and so they'd be there for Basil. Spending the evening hanging out together watching television, the friends eventually fall asleep.

===Abandon Ending===
After remembering the truth, if Sunny chooses to go back to sleep instead of confronting and "saving" Basil, Basil will succeed in killing himself, leaving the entire friend group in despair. Hero, in tears, will beg Sunny not to look at Basil's body and instruct him to go home, saying that they'll "take care" of the situation. He also, unconvincingly, adds that they'll "be okay. I think..."

Notably, the first time he is spoken to, the line "We'll be okay. I think..." is written in the game's alternate, messy font typically associated with [[Something]]. If he is spoken to again, the line will be rendered in the game's normal font.

===Good Ending===
The friend's sleepover is interrupted after they hear [[Basil_(enemy)|Sunny's disastrous attempt to "save" Basil]], ending in Basil grievously injuring Sunny's eye with gardening shears. The three friends presumably call an ambulance for the badly injured boys, going by the sirens heard after Sunny blacks out.

If Sunny refuses to give up when he falls to [[Omori_(enemy)|Omori]]'s assault, he will wake up in the [[Hospital]] and will seek out Basil. Hero will be found in Basil's hospital room along with Kel and Aubrey, checking on him. Sunny proceeds to tell him - and the rest of his friends - the truth behind Mari's death and alleged suicide.

==Trivia==
* Kel notes that Hero's name is actually a nickname. His real name is never mentioned in-game, although the game files occasionally refer to him as Henry.
* Hero will refuse to visit Mari's grave on Two Days Left, stopping Sunny from entering the cemetery and admitting that he's "not ready" for it yet.
* Hero's status as the Last Resort's best employee allows him to enter the toll roads of Deep Well much more cheaply than all other characters, who the Gator Guys attempt to scam.
* Hero's charm does not work on shopkeepers other than the Mailbox. For instance, Smuggler [[Jash]] in the Dungeon will not offer discounts if Hero is leading.
* Hero's favorite foods are chocolate chip cookies and hero sandwiches.<ref>Kel: Look Hero, we got your favorites... some chocolate chip cookies and a big ol' hero sandwich!</ref>
* From version 1.0.7 on, almost all of Hero's healing skills are affected by emotional advantages: He will heal characters who are weak to his current emotion more, and will heal characters who are strong to his current emotion less. The only exception is Tea Time, which is not affected by emotions. It is unclear if this intended behavior, or a glitch.
* Omocat reveals that if they had to relate Hero to anyone in their life, it had to be their brother. They describe him as smart, responsible and always at the top of the class.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUmMu7yioO0?t=1903</ref>
:* He's also deathly afraid of spiders.
:* Like Hero, he also diligently pursues a medical degree, despite being passionate in other interests

'''Mari''' is a major supporting character in ''[[OMORI (game)|OMORI]]''. She is the older sister of [[Sunny]] and her presence serves as one of the major driving forces behind the game's story.

==Profile==
===Appearance===
Mari is a girl with long, straight hair and bangs. In [[Headspace]], she has purple hair and eyes. She wears what looks like a variation of a Japanese [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_school_uniform seifuku].

In the [[Faraway Town|real world]], Mari had black hair, black eyes, and wore a purple jacket or sweater over a white dress. She wore purple shoes.

As a spirit, Mari looks slightly older than her appearance in Headspace. Similar to [[Omori]], she is completely black and white, and her eyes are sometimes depicted as white. She wears a long, white dress.

===Personality===
She's often spoken of as being kind and gentle and plays a sisterly role in the friend group with Sunny, [[Hero]], [[Kel]], [[Aubrey]], and [[Basil]].

Her first appearance shows she has a mischievous side, poking fun at Kel and Aubrey's mannerisms and afterward teasing Hero. Later in the game, it is also revealed she would pull pranks on Hero especially, such as putting bugs in his school desk. It is implied that she and Hero were in a relationship

It is also shown that she was a perfectionist, spending hours at a time practicing the same piano piece over and over again.

==Story==
===Background===
{{Spoiler|section}}
Mari was born on March 1st<ref>[https://twitter.com/OMORI_GAME/status/1362572854793887748 Official OMORI Account confirms that Mari's birthday is on March 1st.]</ref> to unnamed parents more than 16 years before the main game. At some point, her parents had her little brother, Sunny. The two grew up in [[Faraway Town]] next to [[Kel's house|Kel and Hero's family]]. She used to play softball before suffering from a permanent knee injury.

Mari and Hero were a couple prior to her death, this is shown in Basil's photo album. Prior to the events of the game, Mari would spend a lot of time practicing the piano and taking college prep classes. Because of this, she would spend less time with her younger brother, Sunny. In an attempt to spend more time with his sister, Sunny picked up the violin again and the both of them would practice together often for an upcoming recital.

On the day of the recital, Mari and Sunny had an argument due to Mari's perfectionism, which resulted in him accidentally pushing her down the stairs, killing her. Initially in denial, Sunny and Basil carried her to bed, believing she was unconscious.

Basil, after realizing she was dead, came up with the plan to frame her death as a suicide. Stepping back into the house, both of them looked back at her corpse to see one of her eyes looking directly at them, traumatizing the children and haunting them in the form of [[Something]].

Though Sunny and Basil knew the truth, everyone else was under the impression that Mari had committed suicide and blamed themselves for her death. As a result, their previously tight-knit friend group fell apart.

FA ALBUM 06.png| (2/18 - MY BIRTHDAY): Mari and Hero fell asleep on the couch. They look so cozy together... Hehe... I hope they don't mind the photo. Mari's dad might be kind of mad if he saw it...
FA ALBUM 07.png| (3/9): Hero and Mari washing the dishes from breakfast. We're staying over at Mari and Sunny's this weekend. It's getting warmer lately so we're about to go to the park. Kel says there's a secret lake area behind some bushes, so we're all going to check it out!
FA ALBUM 13.png| (3/31): It's already the last day of March! We're having a picnic with Mari at our secret lake spot. Mari wanted to take pictures of everyone! Say cheese!
FA ALBUM 14.png| (3/31): After eating all the food, everyone fell asleep, except me, Hero, and Mari. Something unfortunate happened when I was taking the photo. Ahem... Thanks a lot, Hector. I'll have to cover it up with tape later.
FA ALBUM 15.png| (4/9): I caught Mari carrying Sunny on the way home from school today. He must have fallen asleep on the bus. I thought it was so cute, so I got my camera out as quick as I could to snap this once-in-a-lifetime photo! Sigh... Sometimes I wish I had a sibling.
FA ALBUM 17.png| (4/21): Sunny and Kel gave up on making flower crowns and ran off, but Aubrey and I got the hang of it really fast! Everyone thinks a flower crown really suits me. Maybe just a flower is okay.
FA ALBUM 23.png| (5/25): Mari bought everyone popsicles, one of every flavor! Sunny got lemon, Hero got root beer, Kel got orange, Aubrey got watermelon, and Mari got grape! Mine was banana... It tasted okay.

FA ALBUM 37.png| (8/14): Ta-da! All summer, we've been working on a treehouse in Sunny's backyard and today it's finally finished! Hero and his dad did most of the heavy work, but Aubrey and I made paper plants to put in the window still!
FA ALBUM 39.png| (8/16): All of us hanging out in our brand new treehouse! Looks like Sunny is finally reading the book I showed him! I want to spend every day in here, but it's a shame that summer vacation is almost over. I hope we get to use this treehouse more next summer!
FA ALBUM 40.png| (8/18): We went to Hobbeez to read the latest edition of Capt. Spaceboy! Everyone's so into it right now! I'm sure it's all anyone is going to be talking about once school starts.
FA ALBUM 41.png| (9/6): I'm playing cards with Kel, Hero, and Aubrey. They're so easy to read. They can't hide anything on their faces! Mari baked everyone cookies from scratch. They were chocolate chip and super delicious, like always!
FA ALBUM 42.png| (9/6): Looks like I have the winning hand, hehe... But nobody knows that yet...
FA ALBUM 45.png| (9/9): Sunny giving Mari a big hug! Mari doesn't come home until late now because she's taking extra classes to prepare for college. Me and Sunny have been hanging out a lot, but I'm sure he still misses her a lot.
FA ALBUM 46.png| (9/22): Mari practicing her part for a big recital next month. We're all going to go watch! It's going to be Mari and Sunny's first performance together, but I know they'll do just fine! We will all be showing our support from the audience!
FA ALBUM 47.png| (9/22): Mari getting a little camera shy, because she's made a small mistake. Don't worry, Mari! Just keep going! No one will even notice!
FA ALBUM 48.png| (9/22): After some begging, Sunny came to join Mari for recital practice... Hehe... They're still working out some stuff, but they already sound so amazing! I know they're going to be great. Go, Mari! Go, Sunny! You can do it!

==Trivia==
* Mari's birthday, '''Mar'''ch '''1'''st, spells out her name.
* Mari had a black cat named [[Mewo]].
* Mari took flower arrangement classes with her mother, occasionally bringing Sunny along.<ref>Sunny: MOM's flower arrangement. Mom and Mari have been taking classes recently. Sometimes they drag me along.</ref>
* Mari has trouble falling asleep, so she reads before bed.<ref>Sunny: A table lamp. MARI has trouble sleeping, so she reads books before bed. I often turn this light off for her after she falls asleep.</ref>
* Mari and Sunny traded beds when she realized he had trouble falling asleep.<ref>Sunny: A very, very comfortable bed... It used to be Mari's, but she switched with me when she noticed I had trouble sleeping.</ref>
* Mari and Hero are the same age.<ref>Mari talks about putting bugs in Hero's desk at school. This implies they are classmates.</ref>
* Sunny would sleep in Mari's bed with her when he had nightmares.<ref>Sunny: Mari's bed... Mine too when I had nightmares.</ref>
* The name of the "White egret orchid", the flower associated with Mari throughout the game, is "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecteilis_radiata Pecteilis radiata]". It does not actually symbolize "my thoughts will follow you into your dreams" like in game, rather symbolizing happiness and love, as well as elegance and beauty. On the same topic, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lily_of_the_valley Lily of the valley], the plant Basil associate to Mari<ref>Basil: These flowers are called Lily of the valley. It's said that they're able to ward off evil spirits and help people see a brighter future... I guess that's why they remind me of Mari! I can always count on her to help me stay positive!
</ref>, is poisonous, and can cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and irregular heartbeats if any part of it is ingested.
* Omocat states that Mari, similar to Hero, seems perfect on the outside but is hiding a lot in the inside. Which could be why they could make such a good match.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUmMu7yioO0?t=1692</ref>
:* In Head Space, her perfectionist tendencies are hidden. Omocat describes themselves as a perfectionist too.
:* Like Mari, Omocat used to take piano lessons and have recitals.
:* Early on, Mari was one of Sunny's friends. This was changed to "make the story more impactful"
:* Mari's personality reflects those who take care of Omocat, like older sisters.

'''Mari''' is a major supporting character in ''[[OMORI (game)|OMORI]]''. She is the older sister of [[Sunny]] and her presence serves as one of the major driving forces behind the game's story.

==Profile==
===Appearance===
Mari is a girl with long, straight hair and bangs. In [[Headspace]], she has purple hair and eyes. She wears what looks like a variation of a Japanese [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_school_uniform seifuku].

In the [[Faraway Town|real world]], Mari had black hair, black eyes, and wore a purple jacket or sweater over a white dress. She wore purple shoes.

As a spirit, Mari looks slightly older than her appearance in Headspace. Similar to [[Omori]], she is completely black and white, and her eyes are sometimes depicted as white. She wears a long, white dress.

===Personality===
She's often spoken of as being kind and gentle and plays a sisterly role in the friend group with Sunny, [[Hero]], [[Kel]], [[Aubrey]], and [[Basil]].

Her first appearance shows she has a mischievous side, poking fun at Kel and Aubrey's mannerisms and afterward teasing Hero. Later in the game, it is also revealed she would pull pranks on Hero especially, such as putting bugs in his school desk. It is implied that she and Hero were in a relationship

It is also shown that she was a perfectionist, spending hours at a time practicing the same piano piece over and over again.

==Story==
===Background===
{{Spoiler|section}}
Mari was born on March 1st<ref>[https://twitter.com/OMORI_GAME/status/1362572854793887748 Official OMORI Account confirms that Mari's birthday is on March 1st.]</ref> to unnamed parents more than 16 years before the main game. At some point, her parents had her little brother, Sunny. The two grew up in [[Faraway Town]] next to [[Kel's house|Kel and Hero's family]]. She used to play softball before suffering from a permanent knee injury.

Mari and Hero were a couple prior to her death, this is shown in Basil's photo album. Prior to the events of the game, Mari would spend a lot of time practicing the piano and taking college prep classes. Because of this, she would spend less time with her younger brother, Sunny. In an attempt to spend more time with his sister, Sunny picked up the violin again and the both of them would practice together often for an upcoming recital.

On the day of the recital, Mari and Sunny had an argument due to Mari's perfectionism, which resulted in him accidentally pushing her down the stairs, killing her. Initially in denial, Sunny and Basil carried her to bed, believing she was unconscious.

Basil, after realizing she was dead, came up with the plan to frame her death as a suicide. Stepping back into the house, both of them looked back at her corpse to see one of her eyes looking directly at them, traumatizing the children and haunting them in the form of [[Something]].

Though Sunny and Basil knew the truth, everyone else was under the impression that Mari had committed suicide and blamed themselves for her death. As a result, their previously tight-knit friend group fell apart.

<gallery widths="140" captionalign="center" bordersize="none" hideaddbutton="true">
FA ALBUM 02.png| (2/18 - MY BIRTHDAY): It's my 12th birthday today! I thought my friends forgot, but they all surprised me with a strawberry cake. I feel so lucky... This year is looking to be a good year!
FA ALBUM 03.png| (2/18 MY BIRTHDAY): Another group photo. This was a little after I opened all my presents! Mari bought me this photo album, and everyone else bought me film for my camera. I'll try my best to use it all.
FA ALBUM 06.png| (2/18 - MY BIRTHDAY): Mari and Hero fell asleep on the couch. They look so cozy together... Hehe... I hope they don't mind the photo. Mari's dad might be kind of mad if he saw it...
FA ALBUM 07.png| (3/9): Hero and Mari washing the dishes from breakfast. We're staying over at Mari and Sunny's this weekend. It's getting warmer lately so we're about to go to the park. Kel says there's a secret lake area behind some bushes, so we're all going to check it out!
FA ALBUM 13.png| (3/31): It's already the last day of March! We're having a picnic with Mari at our secret lake spot. Mari wanted to take pictures of everyone! Say cheese!
FA ALBUM 14.png| (3/31): After eating all the food, everyone fell asleep, except me, Hero, and Mari. Something unfortunate happened when I was taking the photo. Ahem... Thanks a lot, Hector. I'll have to cover it up with tape later.
FA ALBUM 15.png| (4/9): I caught Mari carrying Sunny on the way home from school today. He must have fallen asleep on the bus. I thought it was so cute, so I got my camera out as quick as I could to snap this once-in-a-lifetime photo! Sigh... Sometimes I wish I had a sibling.
FA ALBUM 17.png| (4/21): Sunny and Kel gave up on making flower crowns and ran off, but Aubrey and I got the hang of it really fast! Everyone thinks a flower crown really suits me. Maybe just a flower is okay.
FA ALBUM 23.png| (5/25): Mari bought everyone popsicles, one of every flavor! Sunny got lemon, Hero got root beer, Kel got orange, Aubrey got watermelon, and Mari got grape! Mine was banana... It tasted okay.
FA ALBUM 24.png| (5/25): All of our shoes in a circle! Can you guess whose shoes are whose?
FA ALBUM 28.png| (6/22): Mari says she wants to get a summer tan! I'm scared to fall asleep in the sun, since I get sunburned really easily. Hmm... I'm not sure what Kel is doing here, but he's probably having a good time.
FA ALBUM 29.png| (6/22): Hero sleeping on Mari. He's all tired out from swimming. Well... It seems like Mari won't be able to get her summer tan after all.
FA ALBUM 30.png| (6/22): We're about to head home, but I managed to catch one last photo with Mari and Hero! They look so happy. A match made in heaven!
FA ALBUM 36.png| (8/4): Mari says this beetle is a giant stag. It suddenly fell from a tree and surprised everyone! Hero is too grossed out to look.
FA ALBUM 37.png| (8/14): Ta-da! All summer, we've been working on a treehouse in Sunny's backyard and today it's finally finished! Hero and his dad did most of the heavy work, but Aubrey and I made paper plants to put in the window still!
FA ALBUM 39.png| (8/16): All of us hanging out in our brand new treehouse! Looks like Sunny is finally reading the book I showed him! I want to spend every day in here, but it's a shame that summer vacation is almost over. I hope we get to use this treehouse more next summer!
FA ALBUM 40.png| (8/18): We went to Hobbeez to read the latest edition of Capt. Spaceboy! Everyone's so into it right now! I'm sure it's all anyone is going to be talking about once school starts.
FA ALBUM 41.png| (9/6): I'm playing cards with Kel, Hero, and Aubrey. They're so easy to read. They can't hide anything on their faces! Mari baked everyone cookies from scratch. They were chocolate chip and super delicious, like always!
FA ALBUM 42.png| (9/6): Looks like I have the winning hand, hehe... But nobody knows that yet...
FA ALBUM 45.png| (9/9): Sunny giving Mari a big hug! Mari doesn't come home until late now because she's taking extra classes to prepare for college. Me and Sunny have been hanging out a lot, but I'm sure he still misses her a lot.
FA ALBUM 46.png| (9/22): Mari practicing her part for a big recital next month. We're all going to go watch! It's going to be Mari and Sunny's first performance together, but I know they'll do just fine! We will all be showing our support from the audience!
FA ALBUM 47.png| (9/22): Mari getting a little camera shy, because she's made a small mistake. Don't worry, Mari! Just keep going! No one will even notice!
FA ALBUM 48.png| (9/22): After some begging, Sunny came to join Mari for recital practice... Hehe... They're still working out some stuff, but they already sound so amazing! I know they're going to be great. Go, Mari! Go, Sunny! You can do it!

==Trivia==
* Mari's birthday, '''Mar'''ch '''1'''st, spells out her name.
* Mari had a black cat named [[Mewo]].
* Mari took flower arrangement classes with her mother, occasionally bringing Sunny along.<ref>Sunny: MOM's flower arrangement. Mom and Mari have been taking classes recently. Sometimes they drag me along.</ref>
* Mari has trouble falling asleep, so she reads before bed.<ref>Sunny: A table lamp. MARI has trouble sleeping, so she reads books before bed. I often turn this light off for her after she falls asleep.</ref>
* Mari and Sunny traded beds when she realized he had trouble falling asleep.<ref>Sunny: A very, very comfortable bed... It used to be Mari's, but she switched with me when she noticed I had trouble sleeping.</ref>

* The name of the "White egret orchid", the flower associated with Mari throughout the game, is "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecteilis_radiata Pecteilis radiata]". It does not actually symbolize "my thoughts will follow you into your dreams" like in game, rather symbolizing happiness and love, as well as elegance and beauty. On the same topic, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lily_of_the_valley Lily of the valley], the plant Basil associate to Mari<ref>Basil: These flowers are called Lily of the valley. It's said that they're able to ward off evil spirits and help people see a brighter future... I guess that's why they remind me of Mari! I can always count on her to help me stay positive!
</ref>, is poisonous, and can cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and irregular heartbeats if any part of it is ingested.
* Omocat states that Mari, similar to Hero, seems perfect on the outside but is hiding a lot in the inside. Which could be why they could make such a good match.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUmMu7yioO0?t=1692</ref>
:* In Head Space, her perfectionist tendencies are hidden. Omocat describes themselves as a perfectionist too.
:* Like Mari, Omocat used to take piano lessons and have recitals.
:* Early one, Mari was one of Sunny's friends. This was changed to "make the story more impactful"
:* Mari's personality reflects those who take care of Omocat like older sisters.

'''Mari''' is a major supporting character in ''[[OMORI (game)|OMORI]]''. She is the older sister of [[Sunny]] and her presence serves as one of the major driving forces behind the game's story.

==Profile==
===Appearance===
Mari is a girl with long, straight hair and bangs. In [[Headspace]], she has purple hair and eyes. She wears what looks like a variation of a Japanese [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_school_uniform seifuku].

In the [[Faraway Town|real world]], Mari had black hair, black eyes, and wore a purple jacket or sweater over a white dress. She wore purple shoes.

As a spirit, Mari looks slightly older than her appearance in Headspace. Similar to [[Omori]], she is completely black and white, and her eyes are sometimes depicted as white. She wears a long, white dress.

===Personality===
She's often spoken of as being kind and gentle and plays a sisterly role in the friend group with Sunny, [[Hero]], [[Kel]], [[Aubrey]], and [[Basil]].

Her first appearance shows she has a mischievous side, poking fun at Kel and Aubrey's mannerisms and afterward teasing Hero. Later in the game, it is also revealed she would pull pranks on Hero especially, such as putting bugs in his school desk. It is implied that she and Hero were in a relationship

It is also shown that she was a perfectionist, spending hours at a time practicing the same piano piece over and over again.

==Story==
===Background===
{{Spoiler|section}}
Mari was born on March 1st<ref>[https://twitter.com/OMORI_GAME/status/1362572854793887748 Official OMORI Account confirms that Mari's birthday is on March 1st.]</ref> to unnamed parents more than 16 years before the main game. At some point, her parents had her little brother, Sunny. The two grew up in [[Faraway Town]] next to [[Kel's house|Kel and Hero's family]]. She used to play softball before suffering from a permanent knee injury.

Mari and Hero were a couple prior to her death, this is shown in Basil's photo album. Prior to the events of the game, Mari would spend a lot of time practicing the piano and taking college prep classes. Because of this, she would spend less time with her younger brother, Sunny. In an attempt to spend more time with his sister, Sunny picked up the violin again and the both of them would practice together often for an upcoming recital.

On the day of the recital, Mari and Sunny had an argument due to Mari's perfectionism, which resulted in him accidentally pushing her down the stairs, killing her. Initially in denial, Sunny and Basil carried her to bed, believing she was unconscious.

Basil, after realizing she was dead, came up with the plan to frame her death as a suicide. Stepping back into the house, both of them looked back at her corpse to see one of her eyes looking directly at them, traumatizing the children and haunting them in the form of [[Something]].

Though Sunny and Basil knew the truth, everyone else was under the impression that Mari had committed suicide and blamed themselves for her death. As a result, their previously tight-knit friend group fell apart.

====Real World====
<gallery widths="140" captionalign="center" bordersize="none" hideaddbutton="true">
FA ALBUM 02.png| (2/18 - MY BIRTHDAY): It's my 12th birthday today! I thought my friends forgot, but they all surprised me with a strawberry cake. I feel so lucky... This year is looking to be a good year!
FA ALBUM 03.png| (2/18 MY BIRTHDAY): Another group photo. This was a little after I opened all my presents! Mari bought me this photo album, and everyone else bought me film for my camera. I'll try my best to use it all.
FA ALBUM 06.png| (2/18 - MY BIRTHDAY): Mari and Hero fell asleep on the couch. They look so cozy together... Hehe... I hope they don't mind the photo. Mari's dad might be kind of mad if he saw it...
FA ALBUM 07.png| (3/9): Hero and Mari washing the dishes from breakfast. We're staying over at Mari and Sunny's this weekend. It's getting warmer lately so we're about to go to the park. Kel says there's a secret lake area behind some bushes, so we're all going to check it out!
FA ALBUM 13.png| (3/31): It's already the last day of March! We're having a picnic with Mari at our secret lake spot. Mari wanted to take pictures of everyone! Say cheese!
FA ALBUM 14.png| (3/31): After eating all the food, everyone fell asleep, except me, Hero, and Mari. Something unfortunate happened when I was taking the photo. Ahem... Thanks a lot, Hector. I'll have to cover it up with tape later.
FA ALBUM 15.png| (4/9): I caught Mari carrying Sunny on the way home from school today. He must have fallen asleep on the bus. I thought it was so cute, so I got my camera out as quick as I could to snap this once-in-a-lifetime photo! Sigh... Sometimes I wish I had a sibling.
FA ALBUM 17.png| (4/21): Sunny and Kel gave up on making flower crowns and ran off, but Aubrey and I got the hang of it really fast! Everyone thinks a flower crown really suits me. Maybe just a flower is okay.
FA ALBUM 23.png| (5/25): Mari bought everyone popsicles, one of every flavor! Sunny got lemon, Hero got root beer, Kel got orange, Aubrey got watermelon, and Mari got grape! Mine was banana... It tasted okay.
FA ALBUM 24.png| (5/25): All of our shoes in a circle! Can you guess whose shoes are whose?
FA ALBUM 28.png| (6/22): Mari says she wants to get a summer tan! I'm scared to fall asleep in the sun, since I get sunburned really easily. Hmm... I'm not sure what Kel is doing here, but he's probably having a good time.
FA ALBUM 29.png| (6/22): Hero sleeping on Mari. He's all tired out from swimming. Well... It seems like Mari won't be able to get her summer tan after all.
FA ALBUM 30.png| (6/22): We're about to head home, but I managed to catch one last photo with Mari and Hero! They look so happy. A match made in heaven!
FA ALBUM 36.png| (8/4): Mari says this beetle is a giant stag. It suddenly fell from a tree and surprised everyone! Hero is too grossed out to look.
FA ALBUM 37.png| (8/14): Ta-da! All summer, we've been working on a treehouse in Sunny's backyard and today it's finally finished! Hero and his dad did most of the heavy work, but Aubrey and I made paper plants to put in the window still!
FA ALBUM 39.png| (8/16): All of us hanging out in our brand new treehouse! Looks like Sunny is finally reading the book I showed him! I want to spend every day in here, but it's a shame that summer vacation is almost over. I hope we get to use this treehouse more next summer!
FA ALBUM 40.png| (8/18): We went to Hobbeez to read the latest edition of Capt. Spaceboy! Everyone's so into it right now! I'm sure it's all anyone is going to be talking about once school starts.
FA ALBUM 41.png| (9/6): I'm playing cards with Kel, Hero, and Aubrey. They're so easy to read. They can't hide anything on their faces! Mari baked everyone cookies from scratch. They were chocolate chip and super delicious, like always!
FA ALBUM 42.png| (9/6): Looks like I have the winning hand, hehe... But nobody knows that yet...
FA ALBUM 45.png| (9/9): Sunny giving Mari a big hug! Mari doesn't come home until late now because she's taking extra classes to prepare for college. Me and Sunny have been hanging out a lot, but I'm sure he still misses her a lot.
FA ALBUM 46.png| (9/22): Mari practicing her part for a big recital next month. We're all going to go watch! It's going to be Mari and Sunny's first performance together, but I know they'll do just fine! We will all be showing our support from the audience!
FA ALBUM 47.png| (9/22): Mari getting a little camera shy, because she's made a small mistake. Don't worry, Mari! Just keep going! No one will even notice!
FA ALBUM 48.png| (9/22): After some begging, Sunny came to join Mari for recital practice... Hehe... They're still working out some stuff, but they already sound so amazing! I know they're going to be great. Go, Mari! Go, Sunny! You can do it!

'''Mari''' is a major supporting character in ''[[OMORI (game)|OMORI]]''. She is the older sister of [[Sunny]] and her presence serves as one of the major driving forces behind the game's story.

==Profile==
===Appearance===
Mari is a girl with long, straight hair and bangs. In [[Headspace]], she has purple hair and eyes. She wears what looks like a variation of a Japanese [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_school_uniform seifuku].

In the [[Faraway Town|real world]], Mari had black hair, black eyes, and wore a purple jacket or sweater over a white dress. She wore purple shoes.

As a spirit, Mari looks slightly older than her appearance in Headspace. Similar to [[Omori]], she is completely black and white, and her eyes are sometimes depicted as white. She wears a long, white dress.

===Personality===
She's often spoken of as being kind and gentle and plays a sisterly role in the friend group with Sunny, [[Hero]], [[Kel]], [[Aubrey]], and [[Basil]].

Her first appearance shows she has a mischievous side, poking fun at Kel and Aubrey's mannerisms and afterward teasing Hero. Later in the game, it is also revealed she would pull pranks on Hero especially, such as putting bugs in his school desk. It is implied that she and Hero were in a relationship

It is also shown that she was a perfectionist, spending hours at a time practicing the same piano piece over and over again.

==Story==
===Background===
{{Spoiler|section}}
Mari was born on March 1st<ref>[https://twitter.com/OMORI_GAME/status/1362572854793887748 Official OMORI Account confirms that Mari's birthday is on March 1st.]</ref> to unnamed parents more than 16 years before the main game. At some point, her parents had her little brother, Sunny. The two grew up in [[Faraway Town]] next to [[Kel's house|Kel and Hero's family]]. She used to play softball before suffering from a permanent knee injury.

Mari and Hero were a couple prior to her death, this is shown in Basil's photo album. Prior to the events of the game, Mari would spend a lot of time practicing the piano and taking college prep classes. Because of this, she would spend less time with her younger brother, Sunny. In an attempt to spend more time with his sister, Sunny picked up the violin again and the both of them would practice together often for an upcoming recital.

On the day of the recital, Mari and Sunny had an argument due to Mari's perfectionism, which resulted in him accidentally pushing her down the stairs, killing her. Initially in denial, Sunny and Basil carried her to bed, believing she was unconscious.

Basil, after realizing she was dead, came up with the plan to frame her death as a suicide. Stepping back into the house, both of them looked back at her corpse to see one of her eyes looking directly at them, traumatizing the children and haunting them in the form of [[Something]].

Though Sunny and Basil knew the truth, everyone else was under the impression that Mari had committed suicide and blamed themselves for her death. As a result, their previously tight-knit friend group fell apart.

FA ALBUM 02.png| (2/18 - MY BIRTHDAY): It's my 12th birthday today! I thought my friends forgot, but they all surprised me with a strawberry cake. I feel so lucky... This year is looking to be a good year!
FA ALBUM 03.png| (2/18 MY BIRTHDAY): Another group photo. This was a little after I opened all my presents! Mari bought me this photo album, and everyone else bought me film for my camera. I'll try my best to use it all.
FA ALBUM 06.png| (2/18 - MY BIRTHDAY): Mari and Hero fell asleep on the couch. They look so cozy together... Hehe... I hope they don't mind the photo. Mari's dad might be kind of mad if he saw it...
FA ALBUM 07.png| (3/9): Hero and Mari washing the dishes from breakfast. We're staying over at Mari and Sunny's this weekend. It's getting warmer lately so we're about to go to the park. Kel says there's a secret lake area behind some bushes, so we're all going to check it out!
FA ALBUM 13.png| (3/31): It's already the last day of March! We're having a picnic with Mari at our secret lake spot. Mari wanted to take pictures of everyone! Say cheese!
FA ALBUM 14.png| (3/31): After eating all the food, everyone fell asleep, except me, Hero, and Mari. Something unfortunate happened when I was taking the photo. Ahem... Thanks a lot, Hector. I'll have to cover it up with tape later.
FA ALBUM 15.png| (4/9): I caught Mari carrying Sunny on the way home from school today. He must have fallen asleep on the bus. I thought it was so cute, so I got my camera out as quick as I could to snap this once-in-a-lifetime photo! Sigh... Sometimes I wish I had a sibling.
FA ALBUM 17.png| (4/21): Sunny and Kel gave up on making flower crowns and ran off, but Aubrey and I got the hang of it really fast! Everyone thinks a flower crown really suits me. Maybe just a flower is okay.
FA ALBUM 23.png| (5/25): Mari bought everyone popsicles, one of every flavor! Sunny got lemon, Hero got root beer, Kel got orange, Aubrey got watermelon, and Mari got grape! Mine was banana... It tasted okay.
FA ALBUM 24.png| (5/25): All of our shoes in a circle! Can you guess whose shoes are whose?
FA ALBUM 28.png| (6/22): Mari says she wants to get a summer tan! I'm scared to fall asleep in the sun, since I get sunburned really easily. Hmm... I'm not sure what Kel is doing here, but he's probably having a good time.
FA ALBUM 29.png| (6/22): Hero sleeping on Mari. He's all tired out from swimming. Well... It seems like Mari won't be able to get her summer tan after all.
FA ALBUM 30.png| (6/22): We're about to head home, but I managed to catch one last photo with Mari and Hero! They look so happy. A match made in heaven!
FA ALBUM 36.png| (8/4): Mari says this beetle is a giant stag. It suddenly fell from a tree and surprised everyone! Hero is too grossed out to look.
FA ALBUM 37.png| (8/14): Ta-da! All summer, we've been working on a treehouse in Sunny's backyard and today it's finally finished! Hero and his dad did most of the heavy work, but Aubrey and I made paper plants to put in the window still!
FA ALBUM 39.png| (8/16): All of us hanging out in our brand new treehouse! Looks like Sunny is finally reading the book I showed him! I want to spend every day in here, but it's a shame that summer vacation is almost over. I hope we get to use this treehouse more next summer!
FA ALBUM 40.png| (8/18): We went to Hobbeez to read the latest edition of Capt. Spaceboy! Everyone's so into it right now! I'm sure it's all anyone is going to be talking about once school starts.
FA ALBUM 41.png| (9/6): I'm playing cards with Kel, Hero, and Aubrey. They're so easy to read. They can't hide anything on their faces! Mari baked everyone cookies from scratch. They were chocolate chip and super delicious, like always!
FA ALBUM 42.png| (9/6): Looks like I have the winning hand, hehe... But nobody knows that yet...
FA ALBUM 45.png| (9/9): Sunny giving Mari a big hug! Mari doesn't come home until late now because she's taking extra classes to prepare for college. Me and Sunny have been hanging out a lot, but I'm sure he still misses her a lot.
FA ALBUM 46.png| (9/22): Mari practicing her part for a big recital next month. We're all going to go watch! It's going to be Mari and Sunny's first performance together, but I know they'll do just fine! We will all be showing our support from the audience!
FA ALBUM 47.png| (9/22): Mari getting a little camera shy, because she's made a small mistake. Don't worry, Mari! Just keep going! No one will even notice!
FA ALBUM 48.png| (9/22): After some begging, Sunny came to join Mari for recital practice... Hehe... They're still working out some stuff, but they already sound so amazing! I know they're going to be great. Go, Mari! Go, Sunny! You can do it!

==Trivia==
* Mari's birthday, '''Mar'''ch '''1'''st, spells out her name.
* Mari had a black cat named [[Mewo]].
* Mari took flower arrangement classes with her mother, occasionally bringing Sunny along.<ref>Sunny: MOM's flower arrangement. Mom and Mari have been taking classes recently. Sometimes they drag me along.</ref>
* Mari has trouble falling asleep, so she reads before bed.<ref>Sunny: A table lamp. MARI has trouble sleeping, so she reads books before bed. I often turn this light off for her after she falls asleep.</ref>
* Mari and Sunny traded beds when she realized he had trouble falling asleep.<ref>Sunny: A very, very comfortable bed... It used to be Mari's, but she switched with me when she noticed I had trouble sleeping.</ref>
* Mari and Hero are the same age.<ref>Mari talks about putting bugs in Hero's desk at school. This implies they are classmates.</ref>
* Sunny would sleep in Mari's bed with her when he had nightmares.<ref>Sunny: Mari's bed... Mine too when I had nightmares.</ref>
* The name of the "White egret orchid", the flower associated with Mari throughout the game, is "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecteilis_radiata Pecteilis radiata]". It does not actually symbolize "my thoughts will follow you into your dreams" like in game, rather symbolizing happiness and love, as well as elegance and beauty. On the same topic, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lily_of_the_valley Lily of the valley], the plant Basil associate to Mari<ref>Basil: These flowers are called Lily of the valley. It's said that they're able to ward off evil spirits and help people see a brighter future... I guess that's why they remind me of Mari! I can always count on her to help me stay positive!
</ref>, is poisonous, and can cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and irregular heartbeats if any part of it is ingested.
* Omocat states that Mari, similar to Hero, seems perfect on the outside but is hiding a lot in the inside. Which could be why they could make such a good match.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUmMu7yioO0?t=1692</ref>
:* In Head Space, her perfectionist tendencies are hidden. Omocat describes themselves as a perfectionist too.
:* Like Mari, Omocat used to take piano lessons and have recitals.
:* Early one, Mari was one of Sunny's friends. This was changed to "make the story more impactful"
:* Mari's personality reflects those who take care of Omocat like older sisters.

'''Mari''' is a major supporting character in ''[[OMORI (game)|OMORI]]''. She is the older sister of [[Sunny]] and her presence serves as one of the major driving forces behind the game's story.

==Profile==
===Appearance===
Mari is a girl with long, straight hair and bangs. In [[Headspace]], she has purple hair and eyes. She wears what looks like a variation of a Japanese [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_school_uniform seifuku].

In the [[Faraway Town|real world]], Mari had black hair, black eyes, and wore a purple jacket or sweater over a white dress. She wore purple shoes.

As a spirit, Mari looks slightly older than her appearance in Headspace. Similar to [[Omori]], she is completely black and white, and her eyes are sometimes depicted as white. She wears a long, white dress.

===Personality===
She's often spoken of as being kind and gentle and plays a sisterly role in the friend group with Sunny, [[Hero]], [[Kel]], [[Aubrey]], and [[Basil]].

Her first appearance shows she has a mischievous side, poking fun at Kel and Aubrey's mannerisms and afterward teasing Hero. Later in the game, it is also revealed she would pull pranks on Hero especially, such as putting bugs in his school desk. It is implied that she and Hero were in a relationship

It is also shown that she was a perfectionist, spending hours at a time practicing the same piano piece over and over again.

==Story==
===Background===
{{Spoiler|section}}
Mari was born on March 1st<ref>[https://twitter.com/OMORI_GAME/status/1362572854793887748 Official OMORI Account confirms that Mari's birthday is on March 1st.]</ref> to unnamed parents more than 16 years before the main game. At some point, her parents had her little brother, Sunny. The two grew up in [[Faraway Town]] next to [[Kel's house|Kel and Hero's family]]. She used to play softball before suffering from a permanent knee injury.

Mari and Hero were a couple prior to her death, this is shown in Basil's photo album. Prior to the events of the game, Mari would spend a lot of time practicing the piano and taking college prep classes. Because of this, she would spend less time with her younger brother, Sunny. In an attempt to spend more time with his sister, Sunny picked up the violin again and the both of them would practice together often for an upcoming recital.

On the day of the recital, Mari and Sunny had an argument due to Mari's perfectionism, which resulted in him accidentally pushing her down the stairs, killing her. Initially in denial, Sunny and Basil carried her to bed, believing she was unconscious.

Basil, after realizing she was dead, came up with the plan to frame her death as a suicide. Stepping back into the house, both of them looked back at her corpse to see one of her eyes looking directly at them, traumatizing the children and haunting them in the form of [[Something]].

Though Sunny and Basil knew the truth, everyone else was under the impression that Mari had committed suicide and blamed themselves for her death. As a result, their previously tight-knit friend group fell apart.

==Story==
===Background===
{{Spoiler|section}}
Mari was born on March 1st<ref>[https://twitter.com/OMORI_GAME/status/1362572854793887748 Official OMORI Account confirms that Mari's birthday is on March 1st.]</ref> to unnamed parents more than 16 years before the main game. At some point, her parents had her little brother, Sunny. The two grew up in [[Faraway Town]] next to [[Kel's house|Kel and Hero's family]]. She used to play softball before suffering from a permanent knee injury.

Mari and Hero were a couple prior to her death, this is shown in Basil's photo album. Prior to the events of the game, Mari would spend a lot of time practicing the piano and taking college prep classes. Because of this, she would spend less time with her younger brother, Sunny. In an attempt to spend more time with his sister, Sunny picked up the violin again and the both of them would practice together often for an upcoming recital.

On the day of the recital, Mari and Sunny had an argument due to Mari's perfectionism, which resulted in him accidentally pushing her down the stairs, killing her. Initially in denial, Sunny and Basil carried her to bed, believing she was unconscious.

Basil, after realizing she was dead, came up with the plan to frame her death as a suicide. Stepping back into the house, both of them looked back at her corpse to see one of her eyes looking directly at them, traumatizing the children and haunting them in the form of [[Something]].

Though Sunny and Basil knew the truth, everyone else was under the impression that Mari had committed suicide and blamed themselves for her death. As a result, their previously tight-knit friend group fell apart.

====Real World====

FA ALBUM 02.png| (2/18 - MY BIRTHDAY): It's my 12th birthday today! I thought my friends forgot, but they all surprised me with a strawberry cake. I feel so lucky... This year is looking to be a good year!
FA ALBUM 03.png| (2/18 MY BIRTHDAY): Another group photo. This was a little after I opened all my presents! Mari bought me this photo album, and everyone else bought me film for my camera. I'll try my best to use it all.
FA ALBUM 06.png| (2/18 - MY BIRTHDAY): Mari and Hero fell asleep on the couch. They look so cozy together... Hehe... I hope they don't mind the photo. Mari's dad might be kind of mad if he saw it...
FA ALBUM 07.png| (3/9): Hero and Mari washing the dishes from breakfast. We're staying over at Mari and Sunny's this weekend. It's getting warmer lately so we're about to go to the park. Kel says there's a secret lake area behind some bushes, so we're all going to check it out!
FA ALBUM 13.png| (3/31): It's already the last day of March! We're having a picnic with Mari at our secret lake spot. Mari wanted to take pictures of everyone! Say cheese!
FA ALBUM 14.png| (3/31): After eating all the food, everyone fell asleep, except me, Hero, and Mari. Something unfortunate happened when I was taking the photo. Ahem... Thanks a lot, Hector. I'll have to cover it up with tape later.
FA ALBUM 15.png| (4/9): I caught Mari carrying Sunny on the way home from school today. He must have fallen asleep on the bus. I thought it was so cute, so I got my camera out as quick as I could to snap this once-in-a-lifetime photo! Sigh... Sometimes I wish I had a sibling.
FA ALBUM 17.png| (4/21): Sunny and Kel gave up on making flower crowns and ran off, but Aubrey and I got the hang of it really fast! Everyone thinks a flower crown really suits me. Maybe just a flower is okay.
FA ALBUM 23.png| (5/25): Mari bought everyone popsicles, one of every flavor! Sunny got lemon, Hero got root beer, Kel got orange, Aubrey got watermelon, and Mari got grape! Mine was banana... It tasted okay.
FA ALBUM 24.png| (5/25): All of our shoes in a circle! Can you guess whose shoes are whose?
FA ALBUM 28.png| (6/22): Mari says she wants to get a summer tan! I'm scared to fall asleep in the sun, since I get sunburned really easily. Hmm... I'm not sure what Kel is doing here, but he's probably having a good time.
FA ALBUM 29.png| (6/22): Hero sleeping on Mari. He's all tired out from swimming. Well... It seems like Mari won't be able to get her summer tan after all.
FA ALBUM 30.png| (6/22): We're about to head home, but I managed to catch one last photo with Mari and Hero! They look so happy. A match made in heaven!
FA ALBUM 36.png| (8/4): Mari says this beetle is a giant stag. It suddenly fell from a tree and surprised everyone! Hero is too grossed out to look.
FA ALBUM 37.png| (8/14): Ta-da! All summer, we've been working on a treehouse in Sunny's backyard and today it's finally finished! Hero and his dad did most of the heavy work, but Aubrey and I made paper plants to put in the window still!
FA ALBUM 39.png| (8/16): All of us hanging out in our brand new treehouse! Looks like Sunny is finally reading the book I showed him! I want to spend every day in here, but it's a shame that summer vacation is almost over. I hope we get to use this treehouse more next summer!
FA ALBUM 40.png| (8/18): We went to Hobbeez to read the latest edition of Capt. Spaceboy! Everyone's so into it right now! I'm sure it's all anyone is going to be talking about once school starts.
FA ALBUM 41.png| (9/6): I'm playing cards with Kel, Hero, and Aubrey. They're so easy to read. They can't hide anything on their faces! Mari baked everyone cookies from scratch. They were chocolate chip and super delicious, like always!
FA ALBUM 42.png| (9/6): Looks like I have the winning hand, hehe... But nobody knows that yet...
FA ALBUM 45.png| (9/9): Sunny giving Mari a big hug! Mari doesn't come home until late now because she's taking extra classes to prepare for college. Me and Sunny have been hanging out a lot, but I'm sure he still misses her a lot.
FA ALBUM 46.png| (9/22): Mari practicing her part for a big recital next month. We're all going to go watch! It's going to be Mari and Sunny's first performance together, but I know they'll do just fine! We will all be showing our support from the audience!
FA ALBUM 47.png| (9/22): Mari getting a little camera shy, because she's made a small mistake. Don't worry, Mari! Just keep going! No one will even notice!
FA ALBUM 48.png| (9/22): After some begging, Sunny came to join Mari for recital practice... Hehe... They're still working out some stuff, but they already sound so amazing! I know they're going to be great. Go, Mari! Go, Sunny! You can do it!

==Trivia==
* Mari's birthday, '''Mar'''ch '''1'''st, spells out her name.
* Mari had a black cat named [[Mewo]].
* Mari took flower arrangement classes with her mother, occasionally bringing Sunny along.<ref>Sunny: MOM's flower arrangement. Mom and Mari have been taking classes recently. Sometimes they drag me along.</ref>
* Mari has trouble falling asleep, so she reads before bed.<ref>Sunny: A table lamp. MARI has trouble sleeping, so she reads books before bed. I often turn this light off for her after she falls asleep.</ref>
* Mari and Sunny traded beds when she realized he had trouble falling asleep.<ref>Sunny: A very, very comfortable bed... It used to be Mari's, but she switched with me when she noticed I had trouble sleeping.</ref>
* Mari and Hero are the same age.<ref>Mari talks about putting bugs in Hero's desk at school. This implies they are classmates.</ref>
* Sunny would sleep in Mari's bed with her when he had nightmares.<ref>Sunny: Mari's bed... Mine too when I had nightmares.</ref>
* The name of the "White egret orchid", the flower associated with Mari throughout the game, is "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecteilis_radiata Pecteilis radiata]". It does not actually symbolize "my thoughts will follow you into your dreams" like in game, rather symbolizing happiness and love, as well as elegance and beauty. On the same topic, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lily_of_the_valley Lily of the valley], the plant Basil associate to Mari<ref>Basil: These flowers are called Lily of the valley. It's said that they're able to ward off evil spirits and help people see a brighter future... I guess that's why they remind me of Mari! I can always count on her to help me stay positive!
</ref>, is poisonous, and can cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and irregular heartbeats if any part of it is ingested.
* Omocat states that Mari, similar to Hero, seems perfect on the outside but is hiding a lot in the inside. Which could be why they could make such a good match.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUmMu7yioO0?t=1692</ref>
:* In Head Space, her perfectionist tendencies are hidden. Omocat describes themselves as a perfectionist too.
:* Like Mari, Omocat used to take piano lessons and have recitals.
:* Early one, Mari was one of Sunny's friends. This was changed to "make the story more impactful"
:* Mari's personality reflects those who take care of Omocat like older sisters.
