In this state of mind, Mary would even consider killing (and make attempts to kill) Ib, who she wanted to be friends with the most, in order to increase the chances that she could finally fulfill her dream of becoming a human. When Garry does find out about Mary's secret, Mary becomes desperate to escape the cursed gallery before Garry could stop her. This sort of ignorant nature could have been a way of hiding her secret of being a painting and avoiding any deeper conversation about her rose so that Ib or Garry wouldn't notice anything suspicious about her. For example, when Garry first mentioned her rose, Mary ignored Garry's tips on keeping her rose safe, exclaiming how she liked Ib's rose color. While Mary's upbeat attitude may have been true to her nature, it may also have served as part of a ruse to keep Ib and Garry from becoming suspicious of her. Mary's behavior may be the sort of behavior her painter, Guertena, had imagined her to have. As the plot progresses, it becomes obvious that she has hidden motives. Mary appears to be a cheerful and innocent little girl at first glance, but she is also impatient and often misunderstands things. Yellow roses are depicted on the bottom of the canvas. Her canvas has a brown frame and is octagonal, with a smeary gray background. kouri, the artist and creator of the game Ib, drew her with the image of a "lovely girl in a painting." She also wears black knee-high socks and green (sometimes brown) shoes that are similar to school shoes. She has a white collar and white cuffs at the end of her sleeves. She wears a green frock and a blue scarf, similar to the red ribbon that Ib wears. Mary is a young girl, with long wavy blonde hair, blue eyes, and pale skin.
