Mary
"sorry i don't show my whole face. im shy"
Mary's face in the last episode
Mary (Sometimes referred to as Mary Mary) is the main protagonist of the series. Mary has woken up in what she claims to be a copy of her parents' house with no memories of why or how she got there and is incapable of leaving the house. She has limited access to the internet as she is incapable of seeing anyone online and posts videos to Youtube and tweets on Twitter. While not much happens during the day, at night she is pursued and watched by monsters who she has to battle against or resist.- Ambiguous Situation: We honestly don't have a definitive answer as to what is going with Mary. Is she trapped in an Eldritch Location where demonic entities torment and attack her at night to drive her insane? Is she in a coma and trying to from within wake up by healing the fractured parts of her mind? Or is this all in her head and she's simply suffering from mental illness and she is on the brink of suicide? The third option is the most believed theory though no actual answer has been given by the series' creator. Until the climax, where it's confirmed that the house is Mary's creation, and Mary screams "Get out of My House, Get out of my HEAD".
- Despair Event Horizon: Mary seems to have hit this as of "last 8 months", claiming that she gives up and is thinking about asking her tormentor to end it. What's worse is that in the episode it appears that people are finally trying to reach out (the knock on the door) and Mary is too depressed to believe it's true and dismisses it as just a trick. She even attempts to commit suicide in the climax.
- Iconic Outfit: Known for wearing a black tank top and blue jean shorts and appears to not have another set of clothes. The ending shows her finally changing into a blue shirt.
- The Insomniac: How Mary defends with the monsters appearing in the house at night.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: When Mary first wakes up, all she can remember is her name and that the house is her parents or a copy thereof.
- Shrinking Violet: She has a shy and timid personality, straight up saying she's shy in the first episode which is why the series tends to obscure her face.
The Monsters
The Monsters are the antagonists (minus the final one) of the series. They appear to Mary at night, stalking, watching and attacking her for unknown reasons. Many theories have been proposed to explain what they are, with the most popular and believed theory being they are the personifications of a mental illness that Mary is suffering from.- Anthropomorphic Personification: They are believed to be the personifications of Mary's depression and its symptoms according to theories, which explain why they can't actually hurt or kill Mary.
- Big Bad Ensemble: They are the antagonists of the series minus the Woman in White, though the Veiled Woman appears to be the true Big Bad given how much influence and power she has over Mary and is the more intelligent and physical threat of the bunch.
- The Faceless: All the monsters, except for the Women in White and, to a lesser extent, Beauty.
- The Voiceless: The major exception is the Veiled Woman. The minor exception is the Woman in White, who communicates in lip reading and bird chirps.
The Veiled Woman
The Veiled Woman (Also known as Shadow Mary) is the first monster and possibly the main antagonist of the series. She is a dark clothed woman wearing a veil to hide her face and is shown to act in an animalistic manner towards Mary. She is believed to be the leader of the three monsters inside of the house, being more intelligent and capable of speech. According to theories, she is the personification of depression.- Big Bad: She appears to be this given that she is the monster who has appeared in most of the episodes, is far more intelligent than the others and can physically attack Mary. She even convinces Mary briefly that her viewers and fans are against her with Mary even gets to the point where she is willing to ask the Veiled Woman to kill her.
- The Corrupter: Is able to briefly turn Mary against her viewers and fans online.
- The Faceless: Wears a black veil over her head to hide her face, which adds to both the mystery behind her and makes her even more terrifying.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives a powerful and brutal one to Mary during their game of "hide and seek".Veiled Woman: "I want you to understand that you are worthless, you're repulsive, that you are unworthy of happiness! I will always be here to make you suffer!"
Beauty
Beauty (Also known as Maria or The Mirror Monster) is the second monster and an antagonist of the series. She is a beautiful woman who wears black or purple dresses and a doll mask to cover her face. She appears in mirrors to laugh at and mock Mary over her appearance and looks, emotionally attacking her. According to theories, she is the personification of self-loathing.- Malevolent Masked Woman: Appears to be Mary's reflection, except wearing a mask.
The Shadow
The Shadow (Or sometimes Shadow Man) is the third monster and an antagonist of the series. It appears to be a humanoid silhouette or figure, sometimes having male or female features. It doesn't act violently towards Mary, but simply watches her and prevents her from sleeping, stalking her silently throughout the night. According to theories, it is the personification of regret.The Darkness
The Darkness is the fourth monster and an antagonist of the series. Unlike the other monsters, the Darkness is not humanoid or sentient but rather an energy force in the form of an orb of darkness. When Mary catches the Darkness, it leads to the other three monsters becoming more powerful and capable of breaking their own set of rules. According to theories, it is the personification of anxiety.The Woman in White
The Woman in White is the final monster but in actual fact the possible deuteragonist of the series. She is a duplicate of Mary dressed in a white gown who resides in the Garden, an alternate space that Mary enters to escape the House. She appears to Mary and tries to deliver her a message which isn't understood, however she is actually a benevolent being who wants to help Mary escape and tries to warn her of the dangers of entering the Garden. It is quite possible she is the personification of hope; or at least Mary's conscience, knowing that the garden (the true final monster and possibly a metaphor for drug addiction) is bad for her and wishing to save her from it.- Big Good: She is the most benevolent of the monsters.
The House
The main setting of the series. It is stated by Mary to be a copy of her parent's house and that the doors won't let her go outside and the windows won't open or break. It somehow resupplies food to her in a supernatural way and while it's empty during the day, at night is when the four monsters are present. The House is believed by theorists to be symbolic of Mary's mind and that she has locked herself inside of it due to her mental illness.- Alien Geometries: A door that should lead to a room in the house will sometimes lead to the Garden.
- Black Bug Room: The house seems to be the physical manifestation of Mary being imprisoned by her mental health problems.
