* HateSink: In sharp contrast to her [[CoolBigSis canonical self]], Mari is depicted as a sexually abusive BigSisterBully to Sunny who's predations are played seriously, horrifically traumatizing Sunny. She is shown to be nothing but a ManipulativeBitch who has no genuine emotional connections with anyone, only seeing her supposed friends as potential victims. Her death at the hands of Sunny accidentally pushing her down the stairs, ''in response'' to her trying to rape him again, thus becomes a KarmicDeath, and even her friends turn on her the moment they realize the truth about her.
