She is depicted as a teenage girl with long black hair and black eyes. In the original manga, Mary is introduced as a childhood friend of Kenichi, a human boy who cares for the white lion cub Kimba after he is shipwrecked. She lives in Aden alongside Kenichi and their friend Pierre. Mary possesses a playful and somewhat mischievous personality; she and Pierre often tease Kimba while he is staying with Kenichi. She also shows an early interest in leadership and tribal culture, as she enjoys dressing up as a tribe leader. Her role in the story is that of a supporting character who provides a glimpse into Kimba's interactions with human society during his formative period among people. Mary does not possess any special abilities or combat skills; her significance lies in her connection to Kenichi and her presence in the human world that Kimba temporarily inhabits. She appears across different adaptations of the series, maintaining her role as a recurring human companion who witnesses Kimba's growth and his efforts to bridge the gap between animals and humans.
