Marie | マリー | Aru Majo ga Shinu Made
Source: Once Upon a Witch's Death (Aru Majo ga Shinu Made: Owari no Kotoba to Hajimari no Namida)
Character Description:
Marie is a character with a cozy, studious, and gentle aesthetic. She is distinguished by her soft blonde hair, which is typically styled in a low ponytail or loose twintails, held together by a signature red bow (or hair ribbon). She has warm brown eyes and long parted bangs that frame her face, with the series' characteristic eyebrows visible through hair. Her Standard Outfit is designed for comfort and warmth, featuring a purple shirt (often a turtleneck) layered under a soft sweater or jacket. The combination of the long sleeves, the prominent ribbon, and her modest layering gives her a charming, "library-core" or autumnal look.

⚙️ Recommended Settings
- LoRA Weight: 0.85 - 0.95 (Marie’s red bow and purple turtleneck are key color anchors; a weight of 0.9 ensures the blonde hair doesn't become too washed out against the purple).
- Base Models: Optimized for Illustrious XL and Pony Diffusion V6 XL.
- Environment: Works best in library, wooden cabin, autumnal forest, classroom, or a sunlit study.
- Pro-Tip: Marie’s hair can be interpreted as either a low ponytail or low twintails depending on the scene; using (low ponytail:1.2) will give her a more mature look, while (low twintails:1.2) makes her look more youthful. Always keep the red bow tag active, as it is her most recognizable accessory.
