Marie Itami is a lavender-dreadlocked mink beastman with green eyes and brown skin, typically clad in a dark gray sweater, light gray hooded coat, blue skinny jeans, and black high-heeled boots, accented by green visor sunglasses and oversized yellow earrings. Her mink form mirrors her human appearance, with a square face, small outward-facing ears, sharp claws, and a bushy tail, her outfit seamlessly transitioning between forms.

A shrewd opportunist, she thrives as a hustler in Anima City, navigating interactions with a focus on profit. She brokers Michiru Kagemori’s entry into the city under dual payment agreements, then orchestrates the theft of Michiru’s wallet via an accomplice, underscoring her pragmatic ethics. Skilled in exploiting loopholes, she peddles illegal communication devices bypassing city firewalls and manipulates Michiru’s connections to offset costs.

Though self-serving, she intermittently guides Michiru through Anima City’s harsh realities, pushing her to confront slum debts and societal hierarchies with tough-love tactics. During crises, she steers Michiru toward pivotal figures like Gram Grandma, balancing mercenary motives with sporadic support.

Beyond the main narrative, she infiltrates groups like the Alliance under the guise of a scientist during their reorganization. Her origins, age, and family remain enigmatic, and her species is often misidentified as weasel or mongoose—a detail she neither confirms nor denies.

Her duality melds calculated exploitation with fleeting altruism, aiding Michiru’s integration into beastman society while maintaining transactional relationships, her presence a constant blend of utility and unpredictability in the city’s shadowed corners.
