Along with her friend Patricia (who would later become the Anti-Skullgirl weapon Peacock), Marie was orphaned during the war and forced into slavery by a group funded by the Medici Mafia. Marie hails from an area outside of the Canopy Kingdom known as No Man's Land, a wasteland that used to be a country but fell during the war with the Canopy Kingdom. By wearing it, she appeared more grown up and the other orphans listened to her more. Marie took care of housework and “clicked” better with the maid uniforms. It was formerly a nobleman’s house, so they made do with the clothes that were available, i.e. She wears a maid uniform that she found in the manor that served as the makeshift orphanage she and Patricia lived in.

She used to have brown hair and blue eyes prior to becoming the Skullgirl. Her last name Korbel is a reference to a famous champagne drink made in California. She would appear, either friendly or evil, and could scream at, curse, strangle, steal the soul, drink the blood, or scratch the eyes out of participants of the ritual. Modern interpretations of the legend involve chanting her name three times in a dark room with a mirror, lit by a candle in order to summon her. However, if they saw a skull or the face of the Grim Reaper, they would be destined to die before marriage. It was said that the ritual would reveal the face of their future husband in the mirror. Originally, this ritual encouraged young women to walk up a flight of stairs backwards, holding a hand mirror and candle in a dark house. Her nickname 'Bloody Marie' comes from 'Bloody Mary' and may be derived from either the alcoholic drink or the infamous nickname for Mary I of England.īloody Mary is also a folklore legend, consisting of an apparition summoned to reveal the future. Her homestage is Final Atrium, transformed from the catacombs of the Grand Cathedral.
