Marianne Mariposa

''"If nothing ever changed there'd be no such thing as butterflies." Marianne Mariposa''

Marianne Mariposa, or just Mari to most is the daughter of the butterfly from Thumbelina. She is destined to help save Nina Thumbell from the toads, then, and then what? She is a Royal because her story, leaves a lot of room for her to do what she wants.

Appearance
Mari is a small boned, pale skinned girl with soft red waves she wears in a style similair to Belle's in the ballroom in Beauty and the Beast. She has green eyes the color of grass newly grown. She has butterfly wings that look like they're made of glass, and the pattern on both are different. She wears a simple white sundress with a silver butterfly shaped pin on the strap. She goes barefoot.

Personality
Mari is this energetic extrovert, who always greets the new kids with a smile. She will say "Welcome to Ever After High!" And fly around them, talking about a mile a minute until they get uncomfortable and leave, or Nina tells her to shut up. Whichever comes first.

Mari always greets the day smiling, if it's sunny, she's happy for that, if it's rainy, she'll find a way to be happy for that. She is a glass is overflowing type of person, who you can't really bring down from her cloud perch.

Friends
Nina Thumbell

Mari has befriended the next Thumbelina thanks to their parents. Mari and Nina have known each other all their lives and Mari can't even remember a time when she didn't know Nina. They've had a few fights, but they quickly shrug it off and are there for each other in thick and thin, even if Mari's chatter can annoy Nina. But if someone else tells Mari to shut up, Nina will defend her, saying no one is allowed to tell Mari to shut up except her.

Romance
TBA

Trivia
Mari's last name is the Spanish word for butterfly.

The only weather she did not greet with a smile is snow, particularly Epic Winter. When Winter comes, Mari wraps up in the warmest clothes she has and never takes off her coat, though she still ends up sleeping most of the day.

Her wings look fragile, though are as strong as leather, meaning neither branch, nor thorn, nor stone can affect them

Pet
She has a small poodle named Monarch as her pet. She came to Mari during Animal calling, and at first Mari didn't know what to make off the white curly haired animal. But now she loves her.
