Marilyn: Difference between revisions

Marilyn

Marilyn (Japanese: マリリン Marilyn) is a character of the day who appeared in Battling a Cute Drama!. She is voiced by 後藤麻衣 Mai Goto in Japanese.

Marilyn is a Trainer who believes only Pokémon she finds to be cute are worthwhile. Beyond that, she prefers things being cuter in their own right, calling Dawn and Brock "Dawny" (Japanese: Hikarin) and "Brocky" (Japanese: Takerin) because she believed they were cuter names.

After seeing Dawn's Buneary, she fawns over how cute it is (dismissing Piplup as not cute enough), and challenges Dawn to a battle. During the battle, she orders her Cherubi not to attack, in order to stall and keep the battling going so she could witness a "valiant battle". Brock gets irritated by Marilyn's superficial attitude towards Pokémon, and decides to teach her about the inner strength and beauty of Pokémon with a battle.

Marilyn claims her perception of "cute Pokémon" was altered to fit in more with normal convention, because she was teased as a child for believing the cutest Pokémon ever was Shellder, a sentiment none of her friends agreed with.

Shellder

Marilyn is in possession of a fourth Pokémon as its Poké Ball is seen, but she replaces it with Shellder instead during her battle against Brock. Its identity is unknown, although given her criteria for judging a Pokémon's cuteness, it is probably unevolved and no more than 2 feet in height.

Trivia

• Marilyn dresses in the Sweet Lolita clothing style.
• Marilyn owns two Pokémon whose names start with "Ch".
