Personality
Marieta is bossy, intelligent, moody, and stubborn. She has had to take charge early in her life, since her parents use her as a jack-of-all-trades. Her parents divorced early in her life, so Marieta has only seen her mother for visitation. Her stepmother, on the other hand, is always at home when she is not working as a clerk for Unis Beauty Salon (UNIB). But even though she is home, Mrs. Darkwood rarely does anything and makes Marieta clean the house and watch her siblings. Also, she and Marieta's father expect Marieta to get perfect grades, have extra activities, and seem happy. As you can expect, she is not. But Marieta is the perfect daughter, and puts up with being miserable. The only thing she ever rebelled against was going to the 'elite' school when they moved, so she attends Midvale High School on the edge of Neopia, closer to the Haunted Woods, instead of Inigmah. It is a normal, public school, and the only way she ever persuaded her father to let her attend MHS was to promise to be valedictorian and be in at least four activities.
History
Marieta was born to fairly well off Neopians, so she was given the best. But in return, she was expected to BE the best. Her parents divorced when she was only four, and both remarried. Her father was chosen by the court to be her guardian, so she moved to eastern Neopia, far from her home on the coast of Neopia in the Haunted Woods. Although she learned to make friends and put up a happy front, she was rarely able to shake the guilt she felt at her parents' split and the pressure she had put on her to be number 1, as well as all her parents' servant. Being a minority from the Haunted Woods made her feel different as well. But she fought hard to keep her individuality and continues to try to be the best she can be. The problem is she isn't the best she can be, because of such things. She's bossy, stubborn, critical, and condescending. If you aren't intelligent enough, she'll tease you until you tell her to stop. Then she'll just see you as inferior in her mind, while trying her hardest to tell anyone.
Pets
SpongiMari: SpongiMari is Marieta's only pet. Mari (as Marieta calls her) is a Baby Tuskaninny that is 1002 days old. She has an Urchull that is only 20 days old. Mari used to be a Sponge Kiko (hence her name) that was named after the popular children's show, "Sponge Kiko Bandaged Head". But when Marieta had all the map pieces to take Mari to the Lab Ray, she turned into a Red Tuskaninny. Marieta had wanted a Faerie Kiko, so she kept going to the Ray. But every day for months, Mari cycled through the colors for a Tuskaninny. Finally, Marieta accepted her pet's new species and, somehow, felt like she was accepting a new chapter into her life.
