Awesome / Holdover

• After Marie has made very sporadic reappearances since her debut in 2009, and overall has seen much less attention and artwork in the circle compared to several of her successors, this commemorative 2021 artwork (which Fox posted with his announcement of redesigning the game's website into the HTML5 format, following the discontinuation of Adobe Flash) not only completes her Art Evolution, but also shows her being quite adept and focused on maneuvering her way through the underwater sections of the abandoned facility while dodging its security lasers. Remember, this is all despite her having woken up from a near-fatal-induced 10-year coma, her heavy computer anklets not letting her swim, and having what many fans consider the most fragile Oxygen Meter in Fox Eye. It's inspiring artwork that makes Marie come off as a Handicapped Badass Adorable when you remember just how difficult her game can be. On top of all of this, this announcement was coincidentally made on the 12th Anniversary of the game's original release. What a great way for Fox to re-highlight one of the circle’s oldest and most popular games, as well as one of its fan-favorite heroines!
