Description
Mars is one of four Commanders in Team Galactic, identifiable by her short red hair, red eyes, and black-and-silver uniform featuring a round skirt and knee-high boots. Her intense loyalty to leader Cyrus drives her actions across multiple appearances.
In the core games *Pokémon Diamond*, *Pearl*, and *Platinum*, Mars leads Team Galactic's takeover of the Valley Windworks near Route 205. She later captures Mesprit at Lake Verity and aids Cyrus at Spear Pillar in summoning Dialga and Palkia. Following Cyrus's disappearance into the Distortion World, her distress leads her to attempt following him, but Saturn stops her. In *Platinum*, she and Jupiter quit Team Galactic after Stark Mountain due to disagreements with Charon, who holds ideals differing from Cyrus's. Mars then states her intent to find Cyrus in the Distortion World independently.
Within the *Diamond and Pearl* anime, Mars debuts in "Losing Its Lustrous!", collaborating with Saturn to steal the Lustrous Orb from Celestic Town. She later delivers the Spear Key to Iron Island to activate the Iron Ruins and locate Spear Pillar. When this fails, she attempts to destroy the island on Cyrus's orders but is thwarted by Riley and Lucario. After Cyrus vanishes at Spear Pillar, she becomes distraught and tries to follow him, only to be stopped again by Saturn. She is subsequently arrested alongside Saturn and Jupiter.
In *Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles*, Mars reappears with Team Galactic seeking to retrieve Cyrus. She, Saturn, and Jupiter acquire Arceus's Flame Plate and capture Heatran to power a device opening a dimensional gate to Cyrus. The operation encounters a setback when Heatran goes berserk after absorbing the Flame Plate's energy, engulfing itself in molten lava. Mars and the other Commanders confront Ash, Goh, Dawn, and Brock to prevent interference but are defeated by Cynthia and arrested by Officer Jenny.
Her personality exhibits unwavering dedication to Cyrus and Team Galactic's goals, often acting on direct orders without question. She displays a distaste for Charon in *Platinum* and shares a rivalry with Jupiter. Despite Cyrus dismissing her worthiness to join his new world, her loyalty persists, motivating her attempts to locate him even after Team Galactic disbands.
Mars primarily uses a Purugly across all media, battling at Valley Windworks, Lake Verity, and Spear Pillar in the games, and during anime missions. She also commands Bronzor/Bronzong in the *Diamond and Pearl* anime and during Team Galactic events in *Pokémon Masters EX*.
An implied but unconfirmed familial connection exists between Mars and Arezu, a Warden from the Diamond Clan in *Pokémon Legends: Arceus*, based on shared physical traits like hair color, eye shape, and naming conventions.
