ON THE SUBJECT OF ... MISCELLANEOUS.
her favorite butterfly is the blue morpho butterfly, and if asked, she will tell you that is what kind of butterfly she would be. she also likes snails, and has a tendency to either try to steer them off of the middle of sidewalks, and has, at certain points, taken some home.
if you asked her what kind of animal she would be, she would tell you that she would be a leopard.Â
mari doesn't kill butterflies, but she does very regularly order preserved butterflies to make her encapsulated art with, and she has an excessive amount. other than that, she has an insane amount of lighters and odd ashtrays, but those are less of a collection and more just her seeing a fun design and buying it impulsively  âŚÂ only for most of them to not really go to much use in the end, considering the amount she has already.
she owns a motorcycle, but does not drive it. she bought it on pure impulse, realized she didnât really enjoy it, and now it just sits in storage.
mari doesn't really travel unless in circumstances where she is with another person, but she does like to go to the tourist shops and buy the ugliest, most insanely tacky shirts she can find for her and whoever she's with to wear.
she is right handed. not ambidextrous in the slightest.
she writes either in almost ineligible cursive, or incredibly neat handwriting. she is capable of shifting her handwriting style, and went through different phases of what it looked like growing up. although she doesnât do it often, she is decently capable at calligraphy.
mariâs tattoos and piercings were all things she obtained in adulthood. she got her rose tattoo behind her left ear after killing her father, the butterfly / knife tattoo on her sternum after killing her mother, the dragon tattoo on the right side of her ribcage elijah died, and the cross / her name in kanji on her back was obtained on her 23rd birthday after her god delusion fully set in. all of her piercings were obtained around the years of her being 18-19, and she would have obtained more if not for the fact that she believes any more piercings are a liability as far as physical fights go.Â
she has an immense fear and phobia of hospitals and medical professionals in general. she does not trust anyone she doesnât know intimately and well with her body in that capacity, and is extremely paranoid that they will harm her or not truly help her. she will avoid hospitals at all costs and refuses to go to the doctor.
sheâs a gemini, but doesnât care about astrology at all. she wouldnât even know her sign if you asked her. her rising sign and moon sign is scorpio.
mariâs favorite season is fall. she likes the cool air  (as she runs hot consistently, save for her hands and feet due to poor circulation from smoking,)  and the general ambiance. not to mention that she loves when the leaves change, and things start to drop into a much more comfortable temperature for her.
her favorite holiday is halloween, and every year she goes out with real blood on her (sometimes to extremes, sometimes just minimally) to see if anyone asks or notices. thus far, no one has.
in developed dynamics, mari will alternatively (on halloween) dress up as the person she's closest with as a joke. whether it's to make fun of them or as a compliment to them is dependent on the dynamic.
her favorite exhibit at the aquarium is the jellyfish, or the manta rays.
despite being disgustingly rich, she wears reading glasses when doing arts and crafts that are taped together, and never replaced due to her simply taking a liking to those ones. if sheâd bothered to get her eyes checked  (which she wonât)  she would find out that she, in fact, has a slight astigmatism, but as of now she just believes most people  "see lights as blurry"  and doesnât give much thought to it. the glasses that she has are not ones that she bought, and simply ones sheâd put on when going through someoneâs house and decided she liked them enough to take home.
despite rarely talking about her family or past, mari has a tendency to remain sentimental in her own ways. she wears her fatherâs rings daily (more as a trophy than anything else), she keeps an old blockbuster membership card that sheâd stolen from her brother (mark) in her wallet, and has a charm bracelet from her mother that, while not worn, is stashed and kept with other pieces of jewelry. she also has kept all of her mementos and photos from her time with elijah over the years, which are now stashed away. in some canons, she does end up disposing of it.
on one very drunken escapade at a bar, mari had let someone download a crypto app  (robinhood)  onto her phone while she tuned him out and frankly, did not pay attention to anything he said at all. the next morning, sheâd seen it on her phone with an amount of money invested into some random stock, and had deemed it as some game that she checks in on every once in a while but truly does not care about otherwise. she has really no clue what crypto is, and keeps it in a folder on her phone alongside candy crush.
she isnât deathly allergic to anything, but she does break out in hives when she consumes chamomile, which she only found out in an attempt to drink chamomile tea to help her sleep.
she is very good at the shooting games they have at carnivals. otherwise, she is not good at any of the other ones.
mari's go-to genres of choice is soul, funk, and r&b-adjacent music. she primarily listens to a lot of artists from the 60's and 70's, not really verging outside of those eras often. she's not against other genres, operating very much on a  "whatever sounds good, sounds good"  thought process, but she primarily settles into the same kind of music and doesn't stray away from it very often, with the exception of her guilty pleasure artist being daddy yankee.Â
she hates movie theaters and does not believe they should exist.
she is an apple product enjoyer, with the exception of apple watches. she does not think these should exist, either.
she believes horror movies are a way for people to  "micro-dose"  death and does not respect the entire genre for this reason alone.
mari is obsessed with both car crashes and the french phrase  "l'appel du vide," (which translates to the call of the void) for similar reasons. she thinks that car crashes are the most blatant display of how human beings love tragedy and devastation despite saying otherwise, because  "they might be expressing external concern, but they still canât look away, can they?" similarly, her intrigue with the phrase  "l'appel du vide" comes from the interest in the dark and impulsive thoughts that occur randomly, such as shoving the person beside you into the road, or jumping off of a ledge, even if the person in question would never realistically do so.
her house is a no shoes household. no exceptions. she will kick you out in a heartbeat, otherwise.
mari rarely, if ever, takes selfies of herself with her face unless thereâs another person with her. if she does have individual selfies, theyâre usually of her outfits or faceless photos.
she does not watch or consume any kind of porn. she once tried to watch it in younger years, but had absolutely no interest in it. she also does not believe masturbation should be a thing.
she calls white people "hakujins" regularly and habitually, both in her head and sometimes outwardly as well.Â
mari, in most verses, has never sent a single email in her life and yet simultaneously has such a full inbox from subscribing to poem of the day / butterfly species of the day / word of the day / fact of the day emails and never paying attention to them that she can no longer receive emails anymore. if this is not a present factor in the verse, then she usually does not have an email account at all.
she does not delete her texts on her phone and has a wild culmination of messages from individuals that are never saved as contacts. she, at most, usually has around 5 contacts in her phone.
in contrast, she has at least two burner phones at all times.
