* FreudianExcuse: Chapter 11 does reveal Marcy's clinginess to Anne and Sasha stems from ParentalNeglect from her parents whom were such {{Workaholic}}s that they only really noticed her either if she demonstrated academic excellence or was injured (which would also lead to her subconsciously using her clumsiness as a way to gain love and attention from her parents) with the two girls being a LivingEmotionalCrutch to her as the only ones on Earth who would give her the love and attention she needed. One time, Marcy even resorted to [[KickTheDog taunting another girl who was abandoned by her own mother]] just for the sole purpose of getting her own ass kicked by her posse, as getting injured was able to get her parents to ''pay attention to her''.

** Marcy ends her fight with Sasha by viscously stabbing her in the leg causing her to collapse, screaming in agonizing pain, after refusing to stand down. She then proceeds to kick her aside with a SlasherSmile and not giving so much as a second thought, despite seeing her as one of her best friends.

Using those feelings, they manipulate her into being their [[TheQuisling willing ally in the conquest of Earth and beyond]], while encouraging her worst traits into bigger levels while she is healing. It succeeds as of Chapter 13, where Marcy's final test is to get rid of her hesitation and mercy by [[GainingTheWillToKill wiping out an entire army by herself, in which she gleefully does]].
Added DiffLines:
* ManipulativeBastard: Andrias takes full advantage of Marcy's desperation to not be separated from her friends and her IJustWantToBeSpecial wish in order to get her into delivering them a charged Calamity Box.

This is due to her being a direct descendant of the original humans that lived in Amphibia and genuinely liking her.

* MoreThanMindControl: This is how Marcy is corrupted by Andrias and the Core, who play on her obsessive desires for [[IJustWantToBeSpecial a special life]] and to [[ToxicFriendInfluence always have Anne and Sasha with her]], using those feelings to manipulate her into being their [[TheQuisling willing ally in the conquest of Earth and beyond]].
* PunctuatedPounding: Marcy does this when Anne tells her she didn't deserve to have her or Sasha as friends, hitting her HatesBeingAlone BerserkButton, and repeatedly smashes her face into the stone floor.
--> '''Marcy''': TAKE THAT BACK!! TAKE IT BACK!!! I SAID TAKE IT BAAACK!!!
* RoyalFavorite: It's quite clear from their interactions that King Andrias is particularly fond of Marcy, holding her in higher regard than anyone else in his court. He heavily implies to Lady Olivia that he considers her to be the only one he ''can trust'' (sans his master), even going so far as to introduce her directly to The Core and explain their intentions, successfully bringing her in on their EvilPlan. This is due to her being a direct descendant of the original humans that lived in Amphibia and genuinely liking her.
* ThatManIsDead: In Chapter 14, Marcy fully embraces The Core's, vision having [[MoreThanMindControl fallen so far under its sway]] that she declares to a shocked Olivia and disappointed Yunan that the Marcy that they knew is dead, [[UnwantedRescue rejecting their attempted rescue]].
* TheToothHurts: Sasha knocks out two of [[AdaptationalVillainy Marcy's]] molars after repeatedly bashing her in the face with the Calamity Box; [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction Marcy just quips she knows a good dentist after she spits them out]]. She regrows new ones after her stay in the HealingVat following her accidental stabbing by Andrias.
* VillainousLineage: It's discovered that Marcy is descended from the Wu Clan, an AncientConspiracy that ruled Eurasia from the shadows for thousands of years, and also aided the Newts in their rule of Amphibia and Multiversal conquests after they created the Calamity Box. Thanks to King Andrias and the Core's [[MoreThanMindControl emotional and psychological manipulation]], Marcy actually sees this as a HeroicLineage, and is [[FallenHero determined to live up to their legacy no matter what]].
* WreckedWeapon: When Anne goes SuperMode for the first time, she destroys [[AdaptationalVillainy Marcy's]] trademark wrist-mounted crossbow before she has a chance to fire it again.
Added DiffLines:
* MirthlessLaughter: Anne does this when explaining the events of "True Colors" to her parents to try and calm herself down.
* PunctuatedPounding: Anne does this while repeatedly punching [[AdaptationalVillainy Marcy]] in the face, blaming her former friend for sending her to a DeathWorld for 5 months.
--> '''Anne''': [[WeUsedToBeFriends YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A LIAR]]! [[ManipulativeBastard A FILTHY]]! [[TheQuisling STINKIN']]! [[FallenHero STUPID]]! [[EtTuBrute BACKSTABBING]]!! [[ConsummateLiar LIAR]]!

* DeadlyDodging: While suffering from double vision due to Anne striking him in the head during their fight, King Andrias attempts to stab Sasha. She evades the blow, causing him to accidentally stab Marcy instead.

* AbusivePrecursors: The Core also contains some of Marcy's direct ancestors as well as the Newts. Although they present themselves as BenevolentPrecursors during their time in Marcy's subconsciousness while she's in a coma, they are ultimately grooming the young teen to be their new vessel.
Added DiffLines:
* AncestorVeneration: Marcy does this with her ancestors in the Wu Clan after learning about their exploits in Newtopia, and practically treats The Core (which contains several of them in its MindHive) [[MachineWorship as her god]], literally bowing down to it.
* CorruptTheCutie: Marcy goes through a brutal corruption arc and [[SanitySlippage descending into madness]] due to The Core's influence. By the time of "True Colors", she has [[TheQuisling become a willing accomplice to Andrias and intends to sell out her own planet in order to stay with her friends and rule it with them]]. She's even willing to fight and hurt them to achieve it, [[FallenHero putting her firmly on the side of evil]]. Marcy gets even worse as she and The Core have one-to-one "therapy sessions" while she's recovering to make her more corrupted and brutal to become a more ideal vessel, something she agrees to voluntarily once The Core switches its plans for her from DemonicPossession to acting as TheSymbiote.
* DesperatelyCravesAffection: Marcy admits she always felt starved of attention and affection from even her parents and best friends. [[ManipulativeBastard The Core]] takes advantage of this by giving her AffectionateGestureToTheHead plenty of times.
* FallenHero: Thanks to MoreThanMindControl by King Andrias and the Core, Marcy is now fully onboard with their plans to [[MultiversalConqueror conquer the multiverse]], and is even willing to violently attack her friends when they reject her WeCanRuleTogether offer and defy those plans.
* FamousAncestor: Marcy has a JawDrop moment when The Core reveals she's a direct descendant of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Wu_of_Chu King Wu of Chu]] from ImperialChina.
* GoingNative: Marcy is a [[FallenHero dark version]] of this, rejecting her Earth origins for Newtopia.
--> '''Anne''': It's over, Marcy! We're going home!
--> '''Marcy''': ''([[RedEyesTakeWarning eyes bloodshot with rage]])'' '''''I am home!'''''
* GrandTheftMe: Subverted. Unlike in canon, Marcy joins The The Core ''willingly'' and is in control of her body.
* HiddenDisdainReveal: When strangling Sasha while in the midst of a VillainousBreakdown, Marcy admits to '''''enjoying''''' it, mentally reflecting on how she's always hated playing second fiddle to her for Anne's friendship. And with what she thought to be her last words [[spoiler: after Andrias accidentally stabs her]], Marcy tells Anne she '''''hates''''' her.
* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: In this AU where [[AdaptationalVillainy Marcy is voluntarily working with Andrias and the Core]], Anne and the others all understandably take [[WeUsedToBeFriends her betrayal]] much worse than King Andrias being revealed as EvilAllAlong and they're unaware of the Core's existence either.
* MachineWorship: As part of her MoreThanMindControl by Andrias and the Core, Marcy reveres [[MechanicalAbomination the latter]] like a deity.
* MadnessMakeover:
** By the time she gets her hands on the Music Box in the climax of Chapter 7 to stop the others from escaping, Marcy, suffering from a total VillainousBreakdown, has MessyHair and [[RedEyesTakeWarning bloodshot eyes]], her [[ClothingDamage cape torn apart, smashed armor]], a bruised face and a SlasherSmile, while LaughingMad and being LimpAndLivid, showing how far she's fallen into villainous insanity.
-->'''Marcy:''' ''You're not going anywhere...''
** She has another case of this in Chapter 14. When Yunan tries to attack The Core, an angry Marcy goes to its defense SuddenlyShouting at her to get away from her master. Her appearance involves [[EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette discoloured skin]] and [[CreepyShadowedUndereyes sunken cheeks and eyes]], along with AngryAnimalisticGrowl and a DeathGlare. Backing off, Yunan calls it a sight more haunting than The Core, and it drives Olivia to [[BrokenPedestal tears]].

Anne’s other best friend who was transported to Amphibia, eventually becoming the First Lieutenant of Captain Grime’s toad army. She now leads the Wartwood Resistance against Andrias and Marcy.

* AccidentalPublicConfession: After reaching her RageBreakingPoint after they get caught in Andrias' trap, Sasha shouts the AwfulTruth about [[EtTuBrute Marcy]]... forgetting that some of the Wartwoodians next to her in the cage.
--> '''Sasha''': [Marcy] and her ancestors have been screwing things up for hundreds of centuries, and now Andrias is gearing up for a MASSIVE INVASION! ALL BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE THAT MARCY WAS A LITTLE SLIMY TRAITOR!
* ChekhovsGun: In Chapter 2, Sasha has several of her toad soldiers bring her all of Marcy's notes on the Calamity Box so that she can learn how to use it, which comes in handy in Chapter 7 when she's the one who opens a portal to Earth for Anne and the Plantars.
** Chapter 13 has Sasha note the hairpin that Marcy once gifted her, which is the one thing related to her that Sasha hasn't gotten rid of. At the climax of the chapter, she has Ivy use it as a projectile to set off some Boomshrooms in order to enable the captured LaResistance fighters to escape.
* DemotedToExtra: Sasha gains less prominence after the throne room fight than in canon, thanks to the story focusing more Marcy instead.
* MyGreatestFailure: She views failing to stop Marcy's betrayal at Newtopia to be this.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: The Core treats Marcy ''much'' better than in canon. [[ZigZaggedTrope However]], The Core is acting as TheCorruptor to Marcy, twisting her so that she wants to join them in their dimensional conquest. At the very least, they consider her smart enough to join them and is a direct descendent of some of the MindHive.
** Instead of grabbing her by the face as in canon, The Core takes her by the waist and cradles her gently into the seat. It went so far as to pet her on the head afterwards.
* TheChooserOfTheOne: The Core wanted the best and brightest for its potential host, and selected Marcy after she defeated King Andrias at Flipwart. Unlike canon, [[FallenHero Marcy]] is all on board with it.
--> '''King Andrias''': Our lord has craved [a host] for so long, and it wanted the best, the smartest... and then you, a Wu, arrived in Amphibia. When you beat me in Flipwart, that sealed the deal.
* EvilMentor: The Core acts as this to Marcy, essentially the Palpatine to her Anakin Skywalker. [[TheCorrupter They encourage her to have a darker mentality]] that consists of ItsAllAboutMe, NeverMyFault, EntitledToHaveYou, ThatManIsDead and finally AGodAmI, turning her into a devout follower who is utterly dedicated to the MindHive.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's unknown how The Core was able to turn Marcy from being terrified of it one second to calling it ''beautiful'' the next. Whether it's due to dark magic, advanced technology or some mundane brainwashing techniques, it has yet be confirmed how it got Marcy to loosen her moral code and pull a FaceHeelTurn.
* SoProudOfYou: A dark, villainous example. [[EvilMentor The Core]] has this reaction when [[FallenHero Marcy]] [[GainingTheWillToKill gains the will to kill]] in her subconsciousness saying she's ready to carry out their will when giving her a HeadbuttOfLove before the girl wakes up from her coma.
--> '''The Core''': ''(Gives Marcy a HeadbuttOfLove)'' '''''You're ready.'''''
* TheSymbiote: As opposed to the GrandTheftMe it pulls in canon, her being a [[AdaptationalVillainy more willing partner]] makes The Core decide to take this approach with Marcy. Rather than take over her body and assimilate her mind, it instead merges with her in a more equal way, allowing her to stay "at the helm", as Andrias puts it.
