Hometown: Kyushu, Japan
Marika transfers into Raku's class as his arranged fiancée, armed with a key she believes will open his pendant. She's been crushing on him for a decade—ever since he visited her regularly when she was sickly as a kid, bringing gifts and keeping her company. Now she makes no secret of her feelings, constantly telling him she loves him.
The thing is, Marika's got a complicated relationship with Chitoge. She claims to hate girls with long hair, which is funny considering she's got long hair herself. The two don't click.
She wasn't always the sweetest talker. Used to have a pretty rough way of speaking, but after Raku mentioned he likes feminine girls with long hair, she genuinely tried to clean up her act. The problem? When she gets flustered or emotional, all that old vulgar language comes right back. She can't help it.
Her fragile health is part of why those childhood visits from Raku matter so much to her—he's basically been her person since way back.
