Mari is the daughter of the [[Mayor]] and his successor, as she is currently the eighth [[Mayor (Position)|mayor]] of [[Rapoville]].

In the original game, Mari is first seen praying to the [[Creator]], asking for them to return to the [[Raposa]] world and [[Rapoville]]. He agrees to help her by granting a [[Hero]], and she would begin to help restore the world. During this time, Mari is unwillingly training to become mayor, and is thrust into the role after [[Wilfre]] killed her father. Mari is filled with rage towards the Hero and the Creator, but after learning that Wilfre was defeated, she apologizes and asks the Creator to sign their name into the [[Book of Life]].

Mari is filled with rage towards the Hero and the Creator, but after learning that Wilfre was defeated, she apologizes and asks the Creator to sign their name into the [[Book of Life]] while she continues to train to be mayor. Mari would later officially become the mayor of the village.

As mayor, Mari helped the village grow to new bounds, and all of the villagers began to rely on her. However, when [[Heather]] goes missing and the [[Color]] begins to drain from the world, Mari watches as a revived Wilfre kidnaps most of the villagers and drains the village of its color. Mari, along with the remaining villagers, escape onto [[Turtle Rock]] and sail to [[Watersong]], where she meets [[Mayor Rose]]. Mari empathizes with Rose's fears of inadequacy, and after saving Watersong from Wilfre, Mari vanishes. In reality, Mari had defected to join Wilfre in draining the color, so that the Raposa world could live on. However, Mari is swayed back to the Creator's side when Jowee refuses to join Wilfre. Mari leads the Raposa realm in a prayer for the Hero, and eventually, asks the Creator to wake up [[Mike]].

As mayor, Mari helped the village grow to new bounds, and all of the villagers began to overly rely on her.

In reality, Mari had defected to join Wilfre in draining the color, so that the Raposa world could live on forever. However, Mari is swayed back to the Creator's side when Jowee refuses to join Wilfre, even after learning the truth about [[Mike]]. Mari leads the Raposa realm in a prayer for the Hero, and eventually, asks the Creator to wake up Mike.

Four years after Mike awakens, Mari is still running Rapoville. However, the villagers began to get lazy and selfish. Mari also receives word from a twice-revived, [[Shadow]]less Wilfre that the [[Human]] realm was in danger, so she asks the Creator for another Hero, giving it the [[Book of Imagination]]. Mari would act as a point of connection for both Mike and the Hero as they travelled between Rapoville and [[Belleview]] in their quest to stop [[Aldark]]'s scheme. After Aldark's defeat, Mari and Jowee are warned that Aldark's plans were much more sinister, and that he could come back. Some time later, Jowee proposes to Mari, and the two are engaged.

Mari was born after [[Wilfre]] scattered the [[Book of Life]], and as such, never lived with the [[Creator]] in her life. As she grew up, she lived with her father, the [[Mayor]], became good friends with [[Jowee]], and started to believe in the Creator. As time passed, Mari noticed the [[Darkness]] covering the village, and watched as the entire village left. After some time, she decided that enough was enough and made a prayer to the Creator, begging them to come back.

To her surprise, the [[Creator]] responds, telling her that they needed to create a [[Hero]] to stop [[Wilfre]], but that Mari needed to gather all the remaining villagers at [[Creation Hall]]. In her attempt to gather everyone, she wakes [[Jowee]] up, but is unable to stop [[Isaac]] and [[Mya]] from leaving. She is also unable to convince her father to stay behind, so she takes Jowee to Creation Hall alone. The Creator then decides to unseal the Hall, allowing the two of them inside. Inside the hall, Mari watches as the Creator brings the Hero to life. Mari asks the Hero to find [[Cindi]], and after finding her, the group travels to the [[Village Entrance]].

Some time later, Mari decided to hire [[Circi]], a [[Raposa]] who fled [[Rapoville]], as her Deputy Mayor. The two of them worked together for some time when the [[Book of Life]] goes missing. Currently overwhelmed by the current affairs of the village, still rebuilding from [[Wilfre]]'s damages, she asks the [[Creator]] to give them a new [[Hero]]. The Creator agrees, and a Hero is granted to the village. Hearing from [[Heather]] that [[Crazy Barks]] took the Book, Mari sends Circi and the Hero to find him. After they find Crazy Barks protecting the Book, Circi asks why the Book is so important, so Mari explains the history of Wilfre and her [[Mayor|father]] to Circi.

When the newlyweds return to Rapoville, Galileo informs Mari that [[Giant Shadow Bat]]s were spotted above [[The Drifting Isles]], so she sends Jowee and the Hero to the Tree of Ages. Jowee and the Hero return to Rapoville with the Branches from the Tree of Ages, and Mari celebrates, as Wilfre couldn't gather all the Artifacts. Circi decides to take the branches to Village Hall with the other Artifacts, but Mari and Jowee watch her reveal the Eternal Furnace. Circi reveals that she was the Shadowy Figure all along and that Wilfre was still deceased. Circi begins assembling the Artifacts into a [[Dark Mannequin]], and she tries to use it to revive Wilfre. When Circi fails and creates the [[Giant Scribble Monster]], Rapoville is flooded with [[Shadow]], and Mari is stranded on top of Village Hall. She helps the Hero fight the Scribble Monster and the Mannequin, giving them the occasional [[Heart]]. After the defeat of the Monster, Mari laments that Wilfre has taken so much from the village, but celebrates with the rest of the village.

Some time later, Mari wakes up and is unable to find [[Heather]], so she wakes [[Jowee]] up to help her look. The two of them leave [[Jowee's House]] but are immediately stopped by a wave of villagers requesting her help around the villagers. Overwhelmed by the large group of [[Raposa]], she asks them to wait and asks if any of them had seen Heather. None of them had, so Mari and Jowee go to [[Creation Hall]] and ask the [[Creator]] for a [[Hero]]. However, right before the Creator can grant their wish, the [[Color]] is drained from the mannequin. Mari and Jowee look around in shock, watching as the rest of Creation Hall begins to lose its color. They run out to see the building, along with other parts of the village, completely drained of color.

As the Hero enters the [[Hall of Darkness]], Mari begins to lead the Raposa world in prayer, asking for all the color to be restored. The Creator does so, allowing the Hero to destroy Wilfre and free Heather. The group decides to return to Rapoville, and Mari explains that she did what she did in the name of the village, but she realized that the Creator's plans involved more than the village. Once returning to Rapoville, the villagers that weren't kidnapped gather around the Eternal Flame, and the Creator taps the flame. Just then, Mike asks Mari what Wilfre showed her in the first place to get her to change sides. Mari reveals that Wilfre showed her Mike, saying "he showed me you." After Mari reveals this to Mike, the Raposa vanish from his view, and he wakes up from his coma. The Raposa world continued to exist despite Mike waking up, mainly due to the memories Mike still held of the Raposa - including Mari.

Four years later, Mari is on the [[Beach]], praying to the [[Creator]]. As she prays, a twice-revived [[Wilfre]] appears behind her, lacking [[Shadow]] and wearing a hoodie. He tells her that the [[Human]] realm is running out of time, and gives Mari the [[Book of Imagination]] - a book that allows you to enter the mind of another. Mari hopes that a new [[Hero]] would be up to the challenge of saving the Human realm, and Mari assures the Raposa that they would be.
