Marry Kozakura

Mary Kozakura (小桜 茉莉) is the fourth member of the Mekakushi Dan. She first appeared in Imagination Forest and was designed by Wannyanpu.

Appearance

 * Mary is a girl with white hair and pink eyes. In Imagination Forest, Mary is shown wearing a blue dress with a white apron and bare feet. She has a pink ribbon in her hair. Her attire is the same in Children Record. Her hoodie is white with pink roses on it.


 * As a child she used to wear a pink dress with white knee socks and red shoes. Also a small pink flower was put in the left side of her hair.

Personality

 * Mary is a 1/4-Medusa, 3/4-human girl. She is extremely shy around different people and always freaks out around new people. Similar to Shintaro, Mary is an extreme hikikomori, which means she has no stamina. Because of that, Mary tends to be very clumsy for how she spilled all the tea and rag at Momo, and accidently flung the handheld massager towards the terrorist leader.

History

 * As she was still a child her parents told her "We're Medusae, so if we make eye contact with a human they will be turned to stone". While growing up, she always stuck to their words and hid herself away from the world in the forest. Even after they died she continued to live alone.


 * When she went into town to buy ingredients as a child, the first people she met were neighborhood children, who were scared of her. As she one day then played in front of her house, those children appeared and bullied her. Her mother came to the rescue and turned them into stone, resulting in her death. Mary was traumatized by the incident, causing her to fear the outside world. By chance, a boy named Seto visited the forest and found her. He had since managed to bring her to the outside world.


 * After coming to the Mekakushi Dan's hideout, and joining the group, she started a sideline life making fake flowers in her room, which generates a very small income.

Plot

 * Mary observes Kano and Kido who brought a new member, Momo, to the Mekakushi Dan hideout. Being too shy to introduce herself she needs to get convinced by Kido to come out of her room. While introducing herself to the new girl she gets extremely nervous and turns pale, but eventually sits down with the group. While they talk she decides to make tea, but as she brings it she trips and spills it all over Momo's head. With an apology she hurries to get a rag, but also loses it just to throw it in Momo's face at well. Since she broke her phone she promises to buy her a new one and gets teased by Kano to accept a job to achieve that. After she had heard enough of him she uses her ability to freeze him for a short moment, but eventually goes outside with the others as he can move again. Scared of the people she then clings to Kido on the whole way though.

Eye Ability

 * Paralysis: Mary has a power known as the "Eye Contact" ability, which she inherited from her mother Shion. It allows her to temporarily stop the movement of whoever meets her gaze. It is not as complete as her mother's or grandmother's power as she is not able to turn people into stone, but to more "freeze" them.

Relationships

 * Seto - When Seto entered Mary's home, she warned him not to look at her in the eye. He misunderstood what she meant and thought she was just shy. As Mary started to cry and wouldn't stop, Seto placed earphones in Mary's ears and made her listen to his music. She was enlightened and received his hood as a present. At that moment, she might have developed certain feelings for Seto. He was the one who later brought her into the Mekakushi Dan.
 * Momo - After first problems of shyness and a little accident where she spilled tea over her head, Momo grew to one of Mary's best friends.
 * Shion - Mary's mother who died saving her from humans. She wrote a diary about how much she loved Mary. She is 1/2 human and 1/2 Medusa.
 * Azami - Mary's grandmother and Shion's mom. She is a full Medusa.
 * Kano -  When Kano laughs at Mary for spilling tea in the manga, Mary gets angry and freezes Kano with her eye power.  Kano also makes teasing jokes about Mary, like in the Children Record Booklet.
 * Kido - She meets Kido at the end of Imagination Forest, and soon joins the Mekakushi Dan.  Kido also talks her into meeting Momo in the manga.
