Marie Itami, a cunning mink beastman from Anima City, thrives on opportunism and pragmatic survival. In human form, her brown skin and lavender dreadlocks frame piercing green eyes, complemented by a dark gray sweater, pale hooded coat, brown belt, blue skinny jeans, and black boots. Her visor sunglasses and gold hoops add a sharp edge, while her mink form elongates her neck, squares her face, and sprouts claws and a bushy tail—clothing intact across transformations.

A relentless hustler, Marie smuggles and schemes for profit, exemplified by her dual-client deal to transport Michiru Kagemori into Anima City, followed by pickpocketing Michiru’s wallet upon arrival. She peddles contraband phones and inflates service fees, yet her self-interest masks a grudging mentorship. She steers Michiru to Gram Grandma for wallet retrieval and coaches her on slum-market tactics, blending tough-love guidance with profit-minded advice.

Though driven by gain, Marie intervenes in pivotal crises, aiding allies against Boris Cliff before monetizing the aftermath with Nazuna merchandise. Her identity sparks recurring humor as peers mislabel her a weasel or mongoose, provoking terse corrections. No ties to age, lineage, or factions anchor her beyond her underworld niche—Anima City’s survivalist, ever-balancing profit and pragmatism with flashes of communal loyalty.
