Maris hails from the destroyed planet Thanatos, scattering survivors like her across the galaxy. As a Thanatosian, her species’ sixfold human strength requires power-restraining harnesses to prevent accidental havoc—a safeguard Maris often overpowers, causing collateral damage. Repairs drain her Inter-Galactic Space Patrol wages, trapping her in debt. Her burdens multiply with an alcoholic father and frivolous mother relying entirely on her income, forcing her into side gigs like ferrying alien tourists as a “human taxi.” Hairpins shaped like currency symbols betray her fixation on financial escape.

Before joining the Patrol, Maris wrestled professionally, clashing bitterly with fellow Thanatosian Sue. Their feud reignites when Sue kidnaps Koganemaru Matsushita, heir to an interstellar fortune. Maris seizes the rescue mission, envisioning gratitude-driven marriage as her ticket to prosperity—until Koganemaru exposes the abduction as his boredom-fueled scheme and proposes to Sue instead. The failed gamble deepens Maris’ debts and resentment.

She begrudgingly partners with Murphy, a fox-like alien whose tail spawns duplicates. Though he mocks her, their teamwork proves vital: he disables a control chip during her showdown with Sue, balancing jest with tactical support.

Exile and perpetual poverty forge Maris into a sharp-tongued pragmatist. Destroyed ships, dashed ambitions, and Sisyphean struggles punctuate her existence. Even resilience cannot break the cycle; her story ends as it began—battling systems stacked against her, debts unpaid, dreams deferred.
