Clothing Style

Marius is always dressed in a formal style, often wearing colorful outfits that look somewhere between military and ringmaster themed. His colorful outfits tend to have red and green color schemes with black accents, whereas his more muted outfits are entirely black and white. He is most commonly seen wearing some kind of dressy jacket with epaulets and layered over a dress shirt, along with either dress pants and dress shoes or sometimes shorts with stockings and high boots. He always seems to wear gloves, which cover his still-human hands, and his outfits usually tend to have a rose theme and include embroidered rose/vines/thorn designs on them.

Personality

It is hard to say what Marius’s personality once was before he was trapped within the Mansion. He is only interested in carrying out the will of the mistress and catching any visitors in order to add them to her doll collection. Marius comes off as energetic, sadistic, and charismatic with his words, and his movements and personality as a whole is quite dramatic and packed with unnecessary flourishes. He tends to be bossy toward other denizens of the Mansion besides the mistress, and he tends to order others around since he not a terribly imposing figure on his own. Despite this, Marius still holds a rather intimidating presence due to his remorseless pursuit of visitors and blasé attitude toward killing anyone who causes trouble.

Backstory

Marius has very little memory of his life. All he knows now is that he belongs in the Mansion with all the other dolls, and his purpose is to please the mistress of the manor. The mistress apparently likes him for his face and for his hands, which are the only things still organic about his mostly-wooden doll body. He has been made into a marionette that is pulled along by mysterious strings, and he acts as a sentry for the Mansion, seeking out visitors for the Chopper to turn into new dolls.
