Outdated information: Missing information from Marcy's Journal: A Guide to Amphibia
Marcy Regina Wu[3] is a major supporting character in Amphibia, serving as a minor non-speaking character in the first season, and a main character in the second and third season. She is a 13, later 14-year-old Taiwanese-American[4] human girl who is childhood friends with Anne Boonchuy and Sasha Waybright, attending Saint James Middle School together.
On Anne's 13th birthday, Marcy read about the Calamity Box and its powers, and ended up discovering it after an argument with her parents over her refusal to move out of Los Angeles. When Anne opened the box, Marcy, Anne, and Sasha were teleported to Amphibia in separate locations. Marcy was warped within the walls of Newtopia and was promoted to Chief Ranger of the Newtopian Night Guard, where she worked directly for King Andrias of Amphibia. She represented the green gem of Wit on the Calamity Box. She made a deal with Andrias to give him the box with the reloaded gems for his plans to go to other worlds, in exchange for him taking her, Anne, and Sasha with him, without knowing the king's true intentions.
Sometime later, Anne and Sasha learned that Marcy was the one who discovered the Calamity Box and informed Sasha about it with knowledge about its power before it sent her, Anne, and Sasha to Amphibia, revealing her to be the one responsible for sending the three girls there. Marcy later turned against Andrias and assisted Anne and Sasha in the battle for the Calamity Box, but in the process, Andrias impaled Marcy with his sword, though not before she dropped the charged-up music box, which sent Anne and the Plantars to Earth.
Following this, and during Andrias' invasion plan of Earth, Marcy remained in a comatose state of recuperation to heal her injuries. She was freed by Lady Olivia and General Yunan, but their efforts to rebel are ultimately in vain when Andrias captures them; and Marcy becomes the unwilling host of the Newtopian artificial intelligence and the true master of Andrias, the Core, combining the two into the identity known as Darcy.
With Marcy trapped by the Core's mental blockage, Darcy proceeded with the invasion of Earth in full force. However, Darcy and the invasion were thwarted when battling Sasha, who managed to use her sword to sever the cord connected to their helmet, freeing Marcy from the Core's control. After the Core-corrupted red moon begins to fall to Amphibia, Marcy, Anne, and Sasha gain the powers of the Calamity Gems to defeat the Core once and for all. After the battle, Anne received remnant gem shards to open one last portal that would return the girls to Earth. Marcy says her final goodbyes to Andrias and the newts before returning home to LA alongside Anne and Sasha. After a few weeks of recovering, Marcy and her parents moved to Hopkinton, Massachusetts.
10 years later, as an adult, Marcy has become a web comic author, though she is still clumsy and uncoordinated. She returns to LA and reunites with Sasha and Anne, where they celebrate Anne's 23rd birthday together.
Appearance
Body
Marcy is a Taiwanese-American[4] teenage girl who is tall - but noticeably shorter than Anne and Sasha - and slim. She has olive skin, short, shiny black hair, and dark brown oval eyes. After being in Amphibia for about five months, her hair has become visibly grown out and messier.
Since "True Colors", she gained a scar on her chest from her stab from Andrias. It has healed during her time in the rejuvenation tank & during the Core's occupation of her body. She would later write in her journal that the scar became a faded white mark. [5]
During the epilogue in "The Hardest Thing", Marcy has her hair grown down to waist-length.
Clothing
In Amphibia, Marcy wears a faded blue hooded cape, complete with a white-furred collar that is held together with a pink shell. She also wears a brown metal chest plate with a light gray t-shirt underneath, a stitched skirt, and grey winter snow boots that are wrapped with studded straps. Marcy has gray fingerless gloves on each of her hands; moreover, her signature primary weapon seems to be a hand-mounted crossbow (which can fold its two limbs and hide an arrow when not in use) that is fitted onto her right forearm. Marcy later returns to wearing it after being freed from the Core's control.
Back on Earth, Marcy wears a school uniform as her everyday outfit. It consists of a grey-blue colored hoodie with a small Saint James Middle School emblem stitched across the chest as well as a bigger one on her back, a short green skirt, white socks, and a pair of brown school shoes. She also wears a green barrette in her hair. She most likely wears an SJMS shirt under the hoodie, similar to Anne and Sasha. Marcy is occasionally seen without her barrette.
As a small child, she wore her hair in a ponytail with three beads colored pale yellow, light pink, and green respectively. She wore a collared light yellow shirt with blue overalls, white socks with green lines to the top, and light blue crocs.
During her earlier days in stasis, she wore a gray wetsuit with lines curving through it as well as various holes that fitted the cables she was attached to. After her tank was transported to the castle basement, the wetsuit changed into a very dark purple set of armor and a pair of matching boots that is compatible with the ten-eyed helmet that the Core transferred itself through. In her following appearances, after her rescue during "Olivia & Yunan", she sports a black cape with red underneath, and an extensive cord connected to her helmet can be seen, presumably used to keep her connected to the Core.
After gaining her calamity powers in "The Hardest Thing", Marcy wears green and gold battle armor with a dark green cape. Her hair now glows green and her barrette is yellow.
During the epilogue, Marcy, now a young woman, wears earrings on the curve of her ears and on her earlobes, a green barrette on her long black hair, a denim jacket with two pins on the left side of the jacket collar, a green shoulder bag, and she is also wearing a duck shirt alongside a pair of green jeans and brown Converse-like sneakers.
Additional features
During the sleepovers in "The Sleepover to End All Sleepovers" and "The Beginning of the End", Marcy wears pajamas consisting of a white T-shirt with the words "Roll Play" (a pun on "roleplay" and the rolling of dice in many tabletop roleplay games), plus a square picture of a person with a staff in front of a castle in different shades of gray, and a pair of gray-green pants. She is always barefoot.
In "The Dinner", Marcy wears a teal long-sleeve dress, with a golden belt around the waist, a small light blue cape going halfway down the back, and light pink seashell dress shoes.
Personality
Marcy excitably interviewing group of tadpole triplets Rosemary, Lavender, and Ginger Flour.
Marcy is a friendly, geeky, intelligent, resourceful, and intellectual girl; she's always shown intently researching various subjects and taking notes. She has always received straight A's in school, implying her above average intelligence, except for Gym due to her reading during her class. She is curious and takes interest in different cultures, being the one who discovered the Calamity Box in the first place. She is also intuitive, as she is seen reusing her school outfit to craft new wear and using her skills in amphibian biology to defeat a group of Barbari-Ants, which had invaded the outskirts of Newtopia. Anne mentioned she was oblivious because she was "unaware of her surroundings".
Marcy's clumsiness causes problems with her friends.
Nonetheless, back home, Marcy was insanely clumsy and very oblivious. This causes her to be heavily reliant on her friends—Anne and even Sasha constantly feel the need to look out for her, and she relies on Sasha to make decisions for her. In Amphibia, she has learned to manage herself better and make independent decisions, although she is still fairly clumsy and sometimes dependent on Anne. In Amphibia, her social obliviousness is shown to be detrimental, as in the episode "New Wartwood", she constantly tries to make Wartwood like her, and falls victim to Toadstool's manipulation into "reshaping" the town, only for it to be flooded as a result. The same episode also shows that she has a strong emotional desire for acceptance from other people, and will go through great lengths just to get them to like her and gets restless and impatient when they don't.
Marcy described how farming culture is super underappreciated in her opinion.
Marcy is an avid fan of retro video games. Prior to being teleported into Amphibia, she was seen with a game system very similar to the Nintendo Switch. When she met the Plantars, she offered them a copy of a game called Vagabondia Chronicles, and she also likes table-top RPGs such as Dungeons and Dragons. Back home, she wanted Anne and Sasha to play a DnD-like game called Creatures and Caverns.
Marcy considers farm culture under-appreciated and farmers like Hop Pop the "backbone of society." She continuously displays strong interest in every aspect of Amphibia, even trying to analyze the Plantars' family home.
Marcy began to realize how her selfish and competitiveness nearly endangered Anne and the Plantars.
Despite her positive disposition, Marcy has the capacity for selfishness, which manifests through her negative traits, particularly her obliviousness and her overconfidence. The self-focused nature of such holds sway over Marcy's grasp of sense and sympathy, having a hazardous effect on herself and those around her, as portrayed in "The First Temple", especially in her ability to strategize and utilize her intelligence; her obsessive focus and hyperfixations on her interests, to the point of failing to notice when her friends or she herself are in danger; and her unwillingness to intervene in friends' arguments, ignoring them completely in the hopes that they will resolve it themselves. This side of herself was closely influenced by her friendship with Sasha and Anne, since the two did not connect to Marcy's interests; Anne would interpret Marcy's actions were because she and Sasha ignored her interests and needs, making her feel isolated and therefore desperate to keep them together. When the girls had sleepovers, Marcy would force Anne and Sasha to stay up watching a 2-hour fantasy movie called War of the Warlocks with her while spoiling the entire movie without even of them caring as they got so bored they fell asleep, forcing Marcy to watch it by herself.[6]
Marcy's true intentions began to come clean as Andrias reveals the truth about how they got sent to Amphibia in the first place.
Apart from these, the most critical display of her tendency to put her interests before others came to pass in "True Colors"; Marcy not only knew about the Calamity Box, but was responsible for the girls' transference to Amphibia from the start, in order to keep her, Anne, and Sasha together forever. While having sympathetic intentions, genuinely treasuring her friends and not wishing to be alone, Marcy's one-track thinking, not taking into consideration how her friends felt and how she took them away from their own lives and families, led to her friends rejecting her. Even when she was called out on the deception, Marcy nearly failed to see the error of her ways, denying that her actions were selfish until this cost her the trust of both of Anne and Sasha. Despite this revelation, Marcy still protected her friends afterward, with her last act prior to being impaled being sending Anne back home and apologizing for everything she did to Anne.
In "All In", after the Core's mindscape generates faux, blindly obedient simulations of Anne and Sasha, Marcy comes to realize that even though it hurts that her friends don't necessarily share the same interests as her, forcing them to live out her interests was selfish of her. Following her release from the Core's control, Marcy apologizes to Anne and Sasha in remorse, and afterward, vows to be considerate of others.
Background
Early life
Marcy and Anne meeting Sasha.
Marcy Wu was born sometime between January 20 and February 18, 2006[2] to a Taiwanese couple in Los Angeles, California. Much of her life at home is unknown, but her father is very career-oriented and when a big opportunity comes up, he will find other jobs to work and quit the old one.[7] During her childhood, Marcy was friends with another girl named Anne Boonchuy. Marcy and Anne first met on the beach sometime between May 21, 2009 and February 17, 2010, when they were three years old. Marcy was protecting a Vagabondia Chronicles-inspired sandcastle from waves. Anne helps her and the two became friends.[8] Another girl named Sasha Waybright later joined the circle of friends in kindergarten after she (relatively) protected the two from some bullies on the park playground.[9]

Starting in the late 2010s, Marcy shared much of her time as a middle schooler on Earth with Anne and Sasha, even though they neglected her needs and interests.[6] She was a top pupil, but she was so clumsy that Anne had to constantly keep an eye out for her.[10] She looked to Sasha to decide what to do,[11] and often tagged with Sasha in manipulating Anne to follow through with their desires.[12][13] She is also seen to commonly help Sasha with pranks at the school.[14][13] At some point, Marcy taught herself Portuguese within three weeks.[15]
Incident with the Calamity Box
Marcy texting Sasha.
Sometime between May 21 and June 20, 2019, she was studying for the SATs in the library when she receives a text from Sasha reminding her it was Anne's thirteenth birthday. As she was about to leave, Marcy notices a mysterious book the librarian drops called Dr. P's Extraordinary Guide To Magic & Mystery and reads through the book, which contains notes about a magical music box that can transport people to other worlds. Marcy mocks the book's contents before receiving another message from her father to come home immediately, as they had something important to discuss. When Marcy arrives at home, she learns that her father got a new job in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, and her family would have to move. Afraid of losing the only friends she would ever have in her life,[16][17] and blindsided by being told about this move at the last minute,[18] Marcy runs out of the house in tears.
Sasha and Marcy smile from outside a thrift store's window at Anne, who is stealing the Calamity Box.
Arriving in town and coming across a thrift store, Marcy recognizes a music box the shop is selling as the same one from the book at the library. She then receives another message from Sasha, who is with Anne, asking where she is. Sparked with inspiration, Marcy sends Sasha a picture of a magical music box for Anne's 13th birthday, declaring it as a present for Anne and arranges them to meet at the thrift store.[19]
Teleportation to Amphibia.
Marcy waits with Sasha outside while Sasha tricks Anne into going inside to steal the music box. The three friends then went to a park to investigate the chest. Anne and Sasha start to have doubts about it, leading to Marcy coercing them to open the box.[20] The girls are taken to the realm of Amphibia as soon as the chest was opened, but they are separated into three different locations.[12]
Adventures in Amphibia
Marcy promising Lady Olivia to do her best and look after Newtopia.
Marcy is teleported to the city of Newtopia, where she was facinated by the place. While exploring however, she fell down 200 flights of stairs and injured her leg. Thankfully, there was an elderly newt couple nearby who heard her yelling and offered to take Marcy to hospital once they stopped screaming at her appearance.[21] The doctors found a minor fracture in Marcy's left leg so they put a cast on it and said it would be good within a week. Marcy would continue to learn about Amphibia during her time in Hospital. Lady Olivia would eventually introduce herself to Marcy while she was at Hospital, telling her that King Andrias heard all about her and she had been invited to stay at the castle.[22] She would also be visited by General Yunan at some point, though she didn't remember her.[23] Lady Olivia would bring Marcy to the castle, where she ran around wanting to explore it. However, when she arrived in the throne room, she was surprised to meet King Andrias, even asking if she called him "drias", only to find it too personal. She then climbed up on him to see if she can fit in his robe pocket, which she did. She then gave him a small robot pin as a gift.
Marcy Wu meeting Andrias for the first time.
Andrias liked it and made her his guest. She even told him that she's looking for her friends: Anne and Sasha, but Andrias promised to look for them. Little does she know, Andrias harbors a dark secret about himself and is plotting to undo an ancient prophecy which involves the girls charging the Calamity Box's gems.[10] Olivia later took Marcy to her quarters.[13] Marcy's leg begun to heal, so she convinced Lady Olivia to take her on a stroll through Newtopia within a few blocks of the castle. The newts still pointed and stared, but it didn't bother Marcy. During their walk, Marcy took note that snails appear to be their predominant mode of transport. They stopped at a food stand run by Gertie. She asked Marcy questions about Earth, with Marcy saying her world isn't as interesting as hers. Gertie said there was probably a lot of great stuff back on Earth too, she was just used to it.[24] Marcy's cast eventually came off and Lady Olivia promised to take her to the brige. When they got there however, Marcy realised the bridge was falling apart. Marcy told Lady Olivia to get her a team of artisans and around 10,000 laborers. Lady Olivia pulled out a giant royal credit card and returned in around 15 minutes with some people.[25] Marcy finished repairs on time and ahead of schedule. Andrias was impressed by her work and make a gold statue of her in her honor. She gave a brief acceptance speech at the ribbon cutting ceremony. Marcy then found some members of the Newtopian Night Guard on their way home, with Olivia explaining who they are. Marcy wanted to join the Night Guard because of how cool their uniform was and to try find information or clues on where Anne and Sasha were.[26]
Marcy would spend the next few days studying. Lady Olivia would later introduce Marcy to the Night Guard at their headquarters. Despite trying to make a good first impression, she accidently stepped on a coil of loose rope, which got tangled around her feet and sent her face first into their mission board. She then mixed a potion using what she could put together using the avaliable flora. The potion created a violent explosion. The leader of the Night Guard, Albert, told Marcy he was impressed. But to join the Night Guard, she needed to pass a dangerous test that involved collecting the egg of a giant golden crab that lives in Crabmarrow Cove that is far outside Newtopia. The crab can also spit acid that can melt flesh from up to 500 ft and it's claws is said to cleave iron like a blade slicing paper. This however, excited Marcy.[27]
Marcy would begin to think of a plan to get the egg. She have breakfast with Andrias and told him about her plans to join the Night Guard. She tried to get his feedback, though Andrias was preoccupied with frogs in the valley not paying their taxes. She decides to ask him more about him once she gets back before thanking him for the breakfast and heading to her room to pack for the mission.[28]
Joining the Night Guard
Marcy would search for a few days for the cove. She would also teach herself which plants are edible in Amphibia. She'd eventually find the crab, which was 3x taller then her. Marcy set up camp in a surrounding grotto and begun carefully observing the crab's movements and learning it's routine. Marcy realized the inner cove had hot geysers that she used to mark the time due to how often they erupt. She then goes over the notes she made in her journal when she realizes she could trick the crab into stepping on a geyser.[29]
Marcy would dig a tunnel while the crab was asleep to use as a makeshift piping system. She then lured the crab using it's favourite food, being a glowing starfish, and then used the tunnel to redirect the hot steam from the geysers into a beam that blasted the crab unconscious. Marct then took an egg and returned to Newtopia.[30] Marcy then learns that nobody has ever successfully brought back an egg and the trial was designed to assess how potential Night Guards handle failure in the face of an impossible mission. But since the egg was worth around 150,000 coppers, she was made chief ranger. Albert sent Marcy to their official armorer called Bernardo and he got Marcy fitted for her own Night Guard uniform.[31]
Marcy would meet her cadets the next day; Javi, who has high charisma but a big ego, a small newt called Kettle, who is quick but has a big temper, and Femur, who is a gentle giant but dosen't speak a word. The three were suspicious of her because their previous captain was a kind and honorable newt called Ernst who recently went missing on a top-secret mission.[32] Marcy would have them play Creatures and Caverns in an attempt to befriend them. Marcy set up the board and everyone stared at her with dead eyes like Anne and Sasha did as she explained the rules. An alarm then rang and they had to report to headmaster Albert for duty. He explained a giant cobra was spotted outside Newtopia and it was blocking an important trade route connecting Newtopia to the outer regions of Amphibia, such as Frog Valley which supplied much of Newtopia's food.[32]
Missions with her squad
Marcy and a newt high fiving after taking down a cobra.
Marcy and her squad set off for the mission, where things weren't going very well at first. They were uncoordinated and her newt companions didn't trust her still. However, Marcy's observations on them paid off as she played Femur some classical music on his phone which made him very inspired as a poet, she told Javi he was the bravest newt she ever met and despite claiming he didn't care for such shallow praise, he started fighting way better, and Marcy used Kettle's anger as her strength as she mentioned people associate size with strength and wouldn't expect her to take on a huge cobra. This got her really angry, so Marcy said to prove them wrong. Kettle flashed Marcy an impish grin and charged into battle screaming.[33]
With the cobra distracted, Marcy landed a hit on the cobra using a catapult to knock it out. The rest of the night guard cheered as Marcy's team gathered for a group hug and threw Marcy onto their shoulders. They then returned to the headquarters, too exhausted to play Creatures and Caverns, when Marcy realises that they didn't need it as she had managed to befriend them during the battle and Javi said to her that she was a leader worthy of Ernst's post.[33] Marcy tried to sleep, but she kept thinking about Anne and Sasha as she missed them.[34]
Marcy's unit was later assigned their first official mission after someone burning libraries throughout Newtopia. Marcy's unit had to intercept them before all of Newtopia's history is destroyed. Marcy dispatched Javi to chat with some traders to try get some information while Kettle checked some of her contacts in the underworld of Newtopia. Marcy and Femur stayed at headquarters to research and do some theorycrafting.[35]
Marcy later had tea with Andrias, who taught him how to play Flipwart. She picked up the basics right away, though Andrias was great at it. Marcy flanked his cannoneer with her heronnes, sacrificing her strongest piece to force his defenders out of position. His wart was left open and she flipped it. Andrias was shocked as nobody ever beat him at Flipwart. Marcy was scared he was going to get upset, until he started laughing. Andrias wiped a tear and poured her some more tea, saying only his father ever beat him. He then asked Marcy about her family and friends, and she confessed it all while crying. Andrias was understanding, wiping away her tears and telling her it was probably for the best he didn't tell Anne or Sasha that she got them stuck in Amphibia on purpose. He said she never meant any real harm and they wouldn't understand her good intentions. Marcy left for her quarters as Andrias said that it's amazing how the ones we love the most can hurt us the most.[36]
Javi and Kettle got information that the arsonists appear to be members of a cult called the Order of the Olm. Kettle tells Marcy that it is being whispered in the street. Javi then explains that olms are an ancient race of giant subterranean worm-like amphibians that haven't been seen for over 500 years, known for worshipping nature and being the keepers of mysterious legends and prophecies. Marcy then questions why a cult worshipping olms want to burn down historical records.[37]
The order would burn down the Emerald Coast Public Library & Archives soon after. Marcy and her team went to the remains to investigate. Marcy learmns the Newtopian city police were assigned to keep close watch over all libraries, scroll depositories, and parchmentariums. But they were incapacitated without even getting a glimpse of their attackers. Marcy and her team questioned a bystander named Jerry, who claimed to have seen the people who burned the library. He described a lanky newt wearing a golden snake-shaped mask leading cloaked acolytes into the library through a sewer gate. Femur brought Marcy an ancient scroll he salvaged from the wreckage, which made her upset to see it destroyed. Marcy isn't able to understand the language yet, but says she'll work it out eventually. She taped the scroll to her journal for future study.[15]
Marcy would have breakfast with Andrias again, where she fell face-first into a giant boiled egg. Andrias then asked questions about Earth before they both discussed their parents.[18] Marcy and her team would later theorize that the cult is using the sewer system to travel undetected. Marcy wrote to Bernardo and ordered galoshes and disinfectant for them all as they prepared to go into the sewer for clues. Femur gave them some trained lightning bugs to help them.[38]
Marcy and her team would go into the sewers the next day. It was poorly maintained, incredibly confusing, and home to many insane-looking creatures. They split into groups of two to cover more ground, with Marcy going with Kettle. It is there Kettle tells Marcy she never had time for friends because she was too busy joining the Night Guard as it was her dream since she was young. Everyone always doubted her due to her size until she met Ernst, who gave her a chance. Marcy then got a weird feeling they were being watched. She made a flash potion and told Kettle to shut her eyes before smashing it to the ground. The two heard a scream far behind them and they begun chasing them.[39]
The two followed the stalker's tracks through a side passage before reaching the stalker's lair. They learned the stalker was called Hamby. Marcy assummed he was just a thief with no connection to the cult. They cornered him and demanded awnsers, with Hamby hissing and responding in third person that he would never hurt anyone, but he does like to collect stuff. Marcy and Kettle thought they were at a dead end before Hamby said he saw the cult shulking about the sewers. He said he has a map to the cult's base and a few robes he stole off them that he could give to them if they got him a friend. Marcy gave him her tama-buddy and explained it to him. His eyes lit up and he gave the map and disguises to them and immediately went on it.[40] They met back with Javi and Femur and got the three disguises on, ready to infiltrate the base, though there were only three so Kettle had to sit on Javi's shoulders.[41]
Stopping the cult
They followed the winding path to the hidden lair, blending in the best they could. The cult begun chanting and gathering in the central chamber's pews. The leader then approached the pulpit.[41] He called himself Goldmask and announced hids plans before leading the group in chants. Kettle leaned over and whispered to Marcy that that something felt familiar about him, though she couldn't figure it out, it was about his gestures. They learned their next target was the Archives of Antiquity and left.[42]
They reported back to Albert[42] and begun coordinating an ambush with the greater Night Guard. Albert lended them 20 additional cadets to command. Javi, Kettle, and Femur then pulled Marcy aside and thanked her for leading the squad before giving her a spring-loaded wrist crossbow.[43] As Marcy watched them gear up, Marcy begun thinking she dosen't need to hide what she did from Anne and Sasha as they're her best friends believing they will understand why she did it.[2]
The 24 of them arrived at the Archives of Antiquity and observed the cult members as they entered the building. Goldmask and other members pushed a bunch of scrolls and tomes into a pile at the center of the room. But before they could light the pyre, Marcy gave the signal and they leapt out into the open, surrounding them. Marcy placed them all under arrest and they all fixed their crossbows on them from all sides. However, Goldmask chuckled, saying to Marcy that she must be the Night Guard's "new rising star" before saying he heard all about her and was pleased to meet her. He then removed his mask, revealing him as Ernst. Javi and Kettle gasped in unison with Femur looking shocked. Ernst then flicked a match and lit the pyre, causing Night Guard to scramble to douse the flames while others subdued as many cult members as they could. The archives filled with smoke as Ernst escaped on a giant hairy bat with crab claws and said to Marcy's team that he'd be waiting for them at Dawnblood Castle, cackling as he flew off.[44]
They managed to capture most of the cult members and put out the fire, though the books and scrolls sadly burned. Marcy managed to recover something half-charred and taped it to her journal.[44] Once they got back, Marcy tried to cheer up Javi, Kettle, and Femur by making them up by making them her family's fried rice with some bugs in it, but it was to no avail. Headmaster Albert then came in and told the Night Guard that they would not be taking the mission further due to the cult being crushed and only Ernst escaping. Marcy tried to explain that there was clearly more story to it and begged him to let them see it through, though Albert said his decision is final and she was not to question his authority no matter how much she begged the king. This angered Marcy as she then swore to her team that she'd take the matter directly to Andrias himself[45]
Marcy stormed into the throne room despite Lady Olivia saying they were in a private meeting. Andrias was synpathetic and had her back, though he said his hands was tied as the Night Guard had a discretionary budget and full authority to decide their missions. Andrias apologised to her and told her to gently let it go due to the cult being under control. However, Marcy snuck into Olivia's office and spent an hour searching for information on Dawnblood Island. She learned a ship called The Green Lady was heading in that direction, setting off at dawn and she snuck her and her team's names on the list.[46]
Mission to Dawnblood Island
Marcy, Kettle, Javi, and Femur disguised themselves as a group of adventuring sailors she called "The Red Skull Moth Gang" and they boarded The Green Lady. Travelling with them was General Yunan, who shook each of her crew's hands and said her full introduction each time. Marcy told Yunan her name multiple times, though she seemed very suspicious of her and only referred to her as "the human". Marcy learned that Yunan is on a mission to catch a toad called Grime who abandoned his post and went into hiding after failing to suppress a frog rebellion. A frog sailor leaned over and whispered to Marcy that the mission must hit close to home for Yunan. Marcy was confused before the frog explained that she was the only child of a knight who abandoned his comrades in battle decades ago, forever tarnishing the Longclaw family name. Afterwards, Marcy swore she would look for Anne and Sasha after dealing with Ernst.[47]
Marcy and Yunan fighting "pirates" aboard The Green Lady.
The ship would be attacked by pirates led by a toad called Greenbeard. They boarded and demanded that they surrendered their valuables. The sailors all dropped to their knees and emptied their pockets, but Marcy, her crew, and Yunan all fought back. They subdued the pirates with ease and Greenbeard admitted they weren't really pirates and they were just a theater troupe who had taken method acting too far as they prepared for their production of "The Pirates of Toadzance". Greenbeard gave Marcy a ticket as Marcy and her team chuckled over the misunderstanding, though Yunan tossed them overboard. The "pirates" desperately paddled toward their ship as a horde of mantis rays begun to swarm, with Marcy disagreeing with Yunan's actions. She loaded her wristbow with a zapapede-horn stun bolts and fired off a valley. The mantis rays swam themselves in circles long enough for Greenbeard's crew to reach their vessel.[48]
Marcy would play Creatures & Caverns after, which helped her to get to know her team better. Javi then brought up Ernst, getting angry how he brought out the best in them, made them a team, and it was all a lie. Marcy said that maybe he could explain himself, saying that people sometimes make crazy decisions with good intentions. She then told everyone that they should at least give him a chance, which upsetted them all as Javi and Kettle stomped to their bunks and Femur folded his arms and did breathing excersises.[49]
A couple days later, they arrived at the Dawnblood Islands. Yunan dropped them off and said she'd return for them after she caught Grime.[23] The team explored the island and found strange ruins all around, with architecture like nothing she's seem in Amphibia, almost futuristic. Marct found an old inscription on one of the ruined walls and sketched it in her journal.[50] They arrived at Dawnblood castle, with seemingly no way inside. The castle also had signs of highly technological advancements. Marcy noticed the remains of what she assumed was laser cannons overgrown with moss. Marcy suspected the entrance may be connected to a similary advanced mechanism. They set up camp outside the castle walls and Marcy played music using a violin for inspiration, playing the Vagabondia Main Theme.[51]
Marcy later begun feeling the castle wall to try find clues. The entire wall suddenly glowed green and rearrange itself to make an opening as a secret passageway opened. Marcy was confused on how it opened as she didn't feel a secret catch or button. Javi then told Marcy that he swore her eyes glowed green as the door opened, which confused Marcy as her eyes were always a dull brown. Kettle then theorized that somehow, the ancient fortress was aware of them and giving them access.[52] The place was packed with traps, mostly medieval ones which were highly predictable. The group then reached a chamber with high-vaulted ceilings at the heart of the castle. The doors suddenly shut and the room filled with gas. A small helicopter emerged from the rafters above and a high-pitched voice suddenly congratulated them for making it that far, but they must face him first if they want to reach Ernst.[53] They all placed their cloaks over their mouths to avoid breathing in the gas as the copter circled overhead, dropping bombs that exploded into tendrils of purple goop that tried to wrap around their limbs to hold them down. They fought off many tricky traps and mechanisms while attempting to shoot fire at the copter with their wristbows.[54]
Marcy then found a weak point in the copter and shot it, the entire machine exploding. The pilot ejected last second and fell to the floor. They learned it was a small female newt called Bomme Frite, who said she was only an engineer who turned mercenary to fund her gadgets. She said she'd awnser their questions if they spaired her life. They agreed and she gave them the key to the throne room and disarmed the remaining traps. Bomme had no knowledge of the cult and claimed Ernst never mentioned olms or archives. She said he hired her recently and paid with an absurd amount of gold. She said he mostly kept to himself. Marcy thanked her and told her to find their camp, saying the Night Guard might be interested in recruiting her.[54]
Marcy and her team burst through the door and spotted Ernst sitting on the throne wearing a heavy suit of solid gold armor. The entire room was also covered in riches. Ernst said he was glad they could make it and Javi told him to save the charm and demanded awnsers, with Kettle threatning him. Ernst laughed and explained the truth: An anonymous benefactor came to him with a very unique offer if he faked his death, burn all historical documents pertaining a specific legend, and use the olms as a scapegoat. Marcy asked him why he did it, reminding him that he was a mentor and a hero to Javi, Kettle, and Femur. Ernst then sneered and said he didn't ask for that burden, saying him being regarded as a hero was suffocating him and he yearned for an escape. The benefactor offered him a fresh start and countless riches. He took it. Kettle was furious, asking him why he asked them to come here. Ernst said the bond he formed with them was real and invited them to join the adventures of his new life. Marcy's team was furious, seeming more upset at this then his betrayal. Ernst said it was a pity and pulled out a sword, saying if he won't be apart of his new chapter then he'll have to remove him from the story.[55]
The four fought Ernst, being no match for him. Anyone who locked blades with him would be easily tossed aside and their weapons clanged on his armor. Ernst begun slowly wearing them down. Marcy tried to scan the room for anything that could help turn the tides, but there was nothing but stone walls with ivy growing off them. But while her team had his attention, Marcy snatched some seedlings off the wall and begun to make a potion. Ernst took out all of Marcy's teammates and turned his attention to Marcy just as she was finishing the potion. He pinned her against a stained glass window and put his blade against her neck. He then said it was a pity she wouldn't learn what he did: That in every hero is a seed of villain, a dark flower waiting to blossom. Marcy then looked at him in the eyes and told him to "enjoy this potion" as she poured it down the back of his breastplate and escaped his grasp. Vines appeared and took ahold of his armor. Ernst summoned all of his rage and strength to raise his blade and finish her off when he stopped mid-swing, turning into a statue due to Marcy's potion. His sword tipped him slowly as he fell through the window and plummeted to his death into the ocean below. Marcy then helped her team, all wounded, as they returned to the camp.[56]
Bomme Frite begun making them meals as Femur and Kettle begun to recover well, though Javi had a deep gash and was in a rough shape. Kettle didn't leave his side. Javi soon begun to heal, though they were unfortunatly stranded for seven days due to The Green Lady not showing up. Marcy explored the island, playing some tunes on her violin as she searched for fruit and berries. Marcy then came across a large, wild sparrow. He cooed at her and titled his head. Marcy put her violin down and tried to approach him, but he flapped his wings aggresively. Marcy whistled her best bird call, but he recoiled and squawked in disgust. But then, he sidled up to her violin and plucked a string with his beak. Marcy realised he wanted her to play him a song and played her favourite piece called "Clair de Lune". The sparrow quickly picked up the melody and chirped along in harmony. He then scooped her onto his back and took off into the air. He took her back to camp and Marcy told him they were stranded. The sparrow seemed to sense her concern for her injured cadets and kept trying to pick them up with his beak and put them on his back. Marcy then realized he wanted to help them fly home.[57]
Marcy would name the sparrow "Joe Sparrow" and he flew them home. Bomme Frite would be hired as chief engineer and Marcy helped her team recover the best they could. Marcy looked for Bomme Frite and was told she had been assigned to the East Tower to assist a "Lord Bufo" with weapon development. She had left Marcy a written message which thanked her for the job and it had one of Ernst's ancient coins inside. The note said it was rare and 1000 years old. The note also said the benefactor had been paying Ernst with them, meaning they could find the culprit if they traced the origin. Javi and Kettle confessed their love to each other, saying the Ernst situation brought out their true feelings. They decided to leave the Night Guard and move to a quieter town called Stony Gulch to live together in peace. Femur also retired as his true passion lied with nature and animals, he didn't have the stomach for combat and would rather nurture then destroy, so he is going to work as a shepherd. Marcy said it made perfect sense and gave him her violin as a parting gift.[58] After the Ernst situation, Marcy decides she shouldn't tell Anne and Sasha that she purposely sent them to Amphibia.[59]
Barbari-Ant Attack
Marcy would meet with King Andrias and discussed her mission. He was stern at first, saying he was worried for her. He then started laughing and said he was proud of Marcy for taking initiative. He promoted her to royal advisor, saying her skills were to valuable to be wasted on the Night Guard and would rather have her under his watchful eye at all times, putting her in a position to properly serve the kingdom. He then had the finest newtopian blacksmith work with the finest newtopian bird scientists to make Joe Sparrow a set of golden armor as he is now a member of the royal court as Marcy's steed. Marcy then asked Andrias about Ernst's coin. He took the coin, squnting and deep and thought, before saying he'd look into it. Marcy was about to thank him, when three newts came in screaming that "the barbari-ants are upon them."[60]
Marcy learns the Barbari-Ants tunnled up to Newtopia and is tasked to find a way to defeat or divert the ants before they can reach and breach the city walls. Marcy learns the three newts from before are called Bartley, Branson, and Blair, and they are some of the palace's top analysts. The four of them went to a tent just outside the city and begun to think. Marcy was then concerned that they might be in trouble as the three constantly bicker about the best way to do things. Marcy made a strategy to take out the ants using Stinkshrooms. Marcy then noticed a frog family travelling who are apparently pinned down by the ants. Marcy left to go help them.[61]
Reuniting with a friend
Marcy removes her cloak after hearing Anne.
Marcy arrives and saves the family by tossing bags of oil around them before shooting a fire arrow at them with her crossbow, causing the oil to form into flames. The Barbari-Ants retreat as the flames disappear. Marcy then comes down using her crossbow to make a rope before sliding down using a hook. The rope suddenly snaps and she falls into the water. Marcy coughs before writing down in her journal that a newtopian rope can hold a human girl for 2.3 seconds. She then considers reinforcing the rope with ironspider silk to increase the tensile strength. Marcy suddenly hears Anne call out her name as she puts her hood down and spots her. Anne then hugs Marcy. Anne compliments her new outfit and Marcy says she has grown during her time here until Anne points out that her cloak is on fire. She swings it aroind in an attempt to put it out. She then writes a note to herself in her journal that a non-flammable cape would be preferrable as Anne puts the fire out and introduces Marcy to the Plantar family. Marcy then happily introduces herself to the family, even deducing that they are from Frog Valley based on Hop Pop's cranium and the soil attached to him, which fascinated Hop Pop and she quickly won him over by complimenting him on his farmer status. Marcy then begins to examine Polly, finding out that her legs would most likely expand out of her in two months, which piqued Polly's attention and won her over. Marcy then introduces herself to Sprig, who welcomes her with suspicion because of his family's prior fight against Sasha and her Toad Army. As Anne inquires about her whereabouts, Marcy reveals that she had warped right into the heart of the city of Newtopia, where she became acquainted with them after discovering the newts were identical to the "sephilons" she heard about while playing the video game Creatures and Caverns. Anne asks Marcy if she can get them into Newtopia. Unfortunately, she is unable to do so before the ants have been dealt with; however, she has a scheme and leads them out.
Marcy reaches a nearby tent and introduces Anne and the Plantars to the newts. Although the newts confess they haven't come up with a clear idea yet, Marcy tells them that she does. She then goes on to explain the plot, which is to creep into the ant hills and scare the queen out of their lair, forcing the rest of the ants to flee with her. When Sprig inquires about how they'll do this, Marcy demonstrates a stinkshroom-encrusted belt that emits poisonous pheromones capable of driving the ants clear. Anne then starts to stress the mission's risks, especially considering the fact that they will eventually have to battle their way through some of the colony to meet the queen. Since Anne has dealt with similar circumstances in Frog Valley and is well aware of Marcy's clumsiness, Anne recommends that she and the Plantars take care of the project instead. Marcy promises Anne that she'll be fine (just as Anne points out her burning cape again).
Marcy ignores Anne as she is distracted by reading.
Marcy, Anne, and the Plantars are then ambushed when they reach the Barbari-Ant colony. Marcy notices a plant and starts studying it, combining it with additives in a beaker she took with her; this produces an explosive solution, allowing everyone to survive as Marcy drops it and blasts a hole in the wall. Marcy then drops an insta-vine potion, which starts growing vines in front of the wall, stopping any more ants from chasing them down. Marcy had unwittingly stuck Polly on the other side after discovering she had never made it through the hole, forcing everyone to tear the vines apart to let her pass. Fortunately, Marcy throws another insta-vine potion at the wall just as the ants return. They ultimately make it to the queen in the egg chamber, where they begin planting stinkshooms, with Marcy warning them that their pheromones will begin to release 5 minutes after they are planted, so they must work quickly. When everybody gets to work, Anne moves Marcy out of the way of a nearby falling rock, and the two of them duck behind the rock to avoid being noticed by the queen.
Marcy, Anne, and the Plantars are surrounded by Barbari-Ants.
Marcy then claims that she was going to get out of the way on her own, but Anne disagrees, insisting that she must ensure Marcy's safety, much as she does at home. Marcy tells Anne that they aren't back home yet, and she has managed to look after herself up to this point. After a nearby egg hatches and the larva lunges at Sprig's face, Sprig lets out a cry, prompting him to alarm the queen. The Queen then lunges at Sprig and devours him whole, screeching and summoning yet more ants. Marcy then finds out that Sprig is still alive because ants take longer to eat their food, and she goes to rescue him, but Anne stops her once again. Anne proposes that she remain put and she save Sprig instead, however Marcy tells her that she is the most experienced about Barbari-Ant biology and therefore the right choice for the role, but Anne remains in her conviction that she should do it in her place. Marcy then presses Anne for an explanation as to why she won't let her do so, to which Anne sobs as she mentions that she has just gotten her back and doesn't want to lose her again. Marcy then assures Anne that she can do it as she bounces her way towards the queen on the backs of the ants, recognizing that they have bouncy bodies as a result of her study.
Marcy's eyes glow after saving Sprig from the Queen ant.
Marcy is swallowed by the tyrant, but she manages to make her vomit up both her and Sprig, gaining Sprig's trust in the process. Marcy then fires an arrow at a nearby rock in the hopes of swinging them safely to the ground, but the queen cuts the string, forcing them to fall to the ground while they're surrounded by ants once more. The stinkshrooms then began to go off just in time, causing the queen and the rest of the ants to leave the party as they tunneled out of Newtopian grounds. Marcy praises Anne for trying to help her when the party departs, but Anne is adamant she has improved (and Hop Pop and Polly point out that her cape is on fire once more). When the party emerges from the cave, Sprig apologizes to Marcy for his previous fears of her, and Marcy simply expresses her relief that he is well, since she can see he means a lot to Anne, and the two begin to bond.
When Marcy invites Anne and the Plantars back into Newtopia, the gates are eventually reopened. After informing Lady Olivia that the assignment was a success, she introduces her to Anne, and the Plantars. Marcy speaks with Anne alone. Marcy then proposes that they go locate Sasha, but Anne tells her that she already had, but she was living with a toad warlord named Grime, which Marcy begun wondering if it was the same Grime that General Yunan was hunting.[62] Anne also explains that she and Sasha had fought with blades and fires, and that she now has no idea where she is. Marcy claims that even if they find a way home, it will be for naught if Sasha wasn't with them, and she acknowledges that she has no idea what to do because Sasha always makes the decisions. Anne then proposes that they start making their own calls, and both she and Marcy agree because it has worked out so well for them. Both of them then declared to each other that they would find Sasha and find a way back home. Anne then went on to tell Marcy about all that has happened to her since she arrived in Amphibia.[10] Marcy then made it her number one priority to try solve Anne and Sasha's feud.[62]
Anne, Marcy, and Sprig celebrate their success in the Scavenger Hunt.
Marcy took her friends to a burger joint where she sought to impress the Plantars by displaying her intellect while Anne displayed her foolishness. They then obtain a message from the king in the form of an arrow. Rather than sending them a direct message, he invented a scavenger hunt in which they would catch all of the clues to discover a secret message. Anne is becoming more doubtful of her own intelligence when Marcy uncovers the first two leads. After Sprig accidentally reveals that Anne is jealous of Marcy's intelligence while fleeing from a sewage gator, Marcy admits that she is jealous of Anne's ability to be social. The third and final hint is found by Anne; the complete message reads "Bring Me The Plantars".[63]
Marcy is excited to explore the hidden library.
Andrias Leviathan, king of Amphibia, is brought before Anne and the Plantars by Marcy. Andrias notes the gems are gray rather than colored as they were previously when Anne shows him a view of the music box.[64] Andrias thought they may be able to find something in the palace archives, which Marcy never even knew the palace had. King Andrias admitted to Marcy in private that it contained his personal collection of materials and that not many people know about it.[65] Marcy and Andrias went into the archives to try search for any information on the box and found nothing on it. During the time they searched, Marcy said to Andrias how wonderful she felt to have Anne safely back in her company, to which, Andrias said it was touching how close they were. After a bit of pressuring, Andrias explained he was once close friends with a royal guard and a palace gardener back when he was just a prince. He explained they would sneak into the archives and draw mustaches on some of the book illustrations, which reminded Marcy of her friendship with Anne and Sasha. As they walked down rows of ancient books, Andrias seemed hesitant to speak further, so she left it. She wondered why they split up and was determined to not let it happen to her, Anne, and Sasha.[66] She later accidently spills coffee on a tapestry, but she also finds a button that unlocks a hidden passage leading to a secret wing of the archives with valuable knowledge.[67]
They enter the library wing, where Andrias picked up a book and flipped through the pages immediatly. He found a page that had a picture of the music box with diagrams of the gems. Though it was unfortunatly written in an ancient Newtopian script. Andrias said it would take some time to translate. While waiting, Marcy planned a sleepover with Anne, Sprig, and Polly.[68][11]
Anne, Marcy, Sprig, and Polly bonding during their sleepover.
At the sleepover, the girls realise they have never had a sleepover without Sasha since she is the "Queen of Sleepovers." But they know they have enough practice to throw one for Sprig and Polly. "Pajamas, junk food and gossip galore, pillow fights, movies and tearing up the dance floor and listen up cus' this I won't repeat; never ever go to sleep" they announce. They then go on a spree in the castle, angering Lady Olivia, who advises them not to go into the cellar, but of course, they didn't listen to her.
When the gang unwinds, they find out it's just 9:00 p.m., so Anne decides on a Scare Dare Contest, with the loser's name permanently sketched in the Book of Losers. Anne proposes they go down into the cellar, despite Lady Olivia's warning. The kids creep past Lady Olivia, whom Polly is drawing on, and head down, both unable to turn around lest their names be attached to the Book of Losers. They enter a corridor full of mirrors and come across a closed doorway with a sign written in ancient Newtonian runes that everybody correctly believes says "Stay Out." Regardless, they crack it open and find themselves in a flooded room full of coffins. Anne and Marcy attempt to prove their courage by taking a selfie with one of the coffins, which results in jellyfish/ghost-like monsters appearing. They figure out they're unsafe right away and leave the coffin room together. Marcy notices a room full of growing plants that don't need sunshine, and Sprig finds a ruined drawing of what seems to be King Andrias with two other individuals: a frog and a toad. The gang discovers a trap door that reaches Marcy's room right away, much to Marcy's shock and confusion, but the ghosts enter anyway. They soon realize that putting a mirror to their faces turns them solid, and they flee to the cellar. The children do not go to sleep and will remain awake until dawn. After asking so many questions, they all conclude that the sleepover was a success, and they all sign the book. Anne and Marcy admit that they've added their names to the list many times and that Sasha has always come out on top. Marcy comforts Anne and tells her that they can find her anytime she feels she wants to make up with Sasha. Then Lady Olivia marches in, shouting that their meeting with King Andrias is approaching.[11]
Marcy watches Anne depart as King Andrias approaches with a proposition.
When the Plantars and the human girls arrived in the throne room, they are informed that the three gems on the music box need to be recharged, according to a book shown to them by King Andrias. To do so, you must visit three different temples to get each gem charged, but the book only tells you about one of them. Hop Pop is eager to return to Wartwood as quickly as possible so that the annual harvest will not be missed. Anne considers returning Wartwood before going to the first temple so she can retrieve the music box and meet with Marcy afterwards. Marcy, on the other hand, advises Anne to remain in Newtopia with her so they can not be apart. This reasoning makes Anne and the Plantars clearly depressed, so Marcy proposes they spend the day alone before they depart. Anne bids the Plantars farewell the following morning as they return to Wartwood. Marcy admits that sending a servant to grab the music box may not be the right option, and that anyone trustworthy should go instead. Anne gives her a hug and races out to visit her surrogate frog family. Despite suggesting the idea, Marcy felt upset about Anne leaving and felt a bit jealous that she didn't seem to want to stay with her.[69][11] King Andrias then approaches Marcy with a proposal he thinks she will find appealing.[70]
During dinner, Andrias talked Marcy through the recent events between her, Anne, and Sasha. He agreed the three might be drifting into a troubling direction, but he was confident they could steer things back on track. He told Marcy that there were countless worlds to discover and explore, saying they could show Marcy and her friends how to access the other dimensions and return safely if she brought him the box fully charged. This made Marcy happy, not caring that Anne returned to Wartwood anymore.[71]
Marcy managed to come up with a basic translation key for ancient Netopian and got a ton of books, supplies, and medicines to help her recharge the stones. Marcy studied the hidden library's limited information on the first temple and learned it was meant to test intelligence. Marcy assummed it would be full of puzzles, so she stayed up to play every platformer, RPG, and gacha game she had on her phone to help prepare her. Andrias stopped by as Marcy was packing her bags and asked her to let him know the moment they charged the first stone.[72]
The quest
Marcy arrived at the Plantar's house in Wartwood, where she was amazed by the house and tries to find out when it was built before Anne asks for the news. Marcy informed her that they're ready for the first temple and she just needs to see the music box. Anne hands her it and she played it before taking out the gem that used to be green. They board Joe Sparrow and begun flying to the temple. Marcy tells Anne what she learned about the temple. Anne informs Marcy to be careful and to try not to get too into her head. Marcy says she won't let everyone down and they arrive at the temple. At some point while they were in the temple, Marcy nearly stepped on a trap of spikes that could've killed everyone while she was writing in her journal, with Anne saving her.[72] Marcy translated a message written in ancient Newtopian on a wall and learned there is three trials. The group looked for clues until Anne found the puzzle, which resembles a rubik's cube. Anne gets trapped in a glowing green orb and floating away. Anne throws Marcy the puzzle and she floats in a green orb aswell as she begins to try solve it, not realizing the danger she is putting Anne and the Plantars in as the room begins to turn and turn based on how she moves and turns the cube. She eventually solved the puzzle and a door opened.
Marcy excitedly ran through the door, with Anne and the Plantars following behind her. They make it to the second puzzle, which has a bunch of pink, blue, and green squares on it. Marcy learns that the pink ones burn people alive while the blue ones crush people. She then grapples onto a pole with her wrist crossbow and lands on a green one, learning they're the safe ones. She asks someone to step on the other one, with Anne stepping on it and accidently triggering red and blue ones, though she manages to avoid them. The rest of the plates then turn green and the door opens. Marcy excitedly runs through the next door and realizes the staircase on the other side leads to the top floor where the last trial is. After an hour of walking, they make it to the final puzzle and learn it's a game of Flipwart. She learns she only gets one chance, saying she only needs one chance. However, when she places the pieces, they all fall through the floor and become the pieces on a giant board, with Anne being on the enemy team. Their hands become tied together so Anne can't sabotage the other team. Marcy begins playing using the small board, which moves the big ones. Marcy places the final piece after awhile, believing they've won, only for the temple to cheat.
Marcy continues to try win the game, before realizing that she has put her friends in danger. Marcy tries to forfeit, knocking her piece down on the small board. It dosen't work and Marcy realizes she needs to flip the big wart too and rushes the board before using Sprig as a projectile and destroying her own piece, ending the game. Marcy believes that she has lost her chance at recharging the gem. The temple leads them out with glowing green arrows. However, the group discover that the arrows are leading them to the outhouse. It turns out that the outhouse is actually the recharging station and that Marcy learning humility was the test. Marcy places the gem on the pedestal and the green energy is recharged into it, with the green also draining from Marcy's eyes. The gem proceeds to point them in the next direction as the group plan to take a break for the time being before heading to their destination.[73]
Marcy apologizes for the destruction of Wartwood.
Marcy was eager to visit the townsfolk of Wartwood after recharging the first gem and living in the wagon outside the Plantar family house, but they are distant and suspicious of her. To persuade them to welcome her, Marcy and Anne make changes to the area. Mayor Toadstool notices this and gives her the opportunity to renovate Wartwood as a tourist attraction. Despite Anne's protests, Marcy goes on with Toadstools proposal, eager for the town's support. However, it is a tragedy, and Wartwood begins to collapse into the swamp on which it was constructed on. Marcy and Anne then enlist the aid of Joe Sparrow to save the day. Marcy expresses her regret for the devastation. Mrs. Croaker, already enraged, tells her she's exactly as Anne was when she first arrived at Wartwood, and One-Eyed Wally says that means they'll end up liking her sooner or later. Everyone laughs and tells Marcy to be careful, that Wartwood will finally adapt to her, and a resurgent Marcy begins to reconstruct the area.[74]
Marcy slides into the scene to save the day.
Marcy, who was researching the flora and fauna, sees Maddie restore the tree to its former glory and scolds her siblings for the upheaval. Marcy introduces herself after they depart and shows an interest in learning spells as well. Maddie is enthralled by Marcy's passion, and the two head out to collect charms, much to the tadpoles' displeasure. Maddie tells Marcy that she used to play with her siblings all the time before she found her interest for magic and now has little time to play for them. Marcy advises her to allow time, but Maddie considers her work to be more significant. When Marcy and Maddie are bonding, Rosemary, Lavender and Ginger decide that they need to be older in order for Maddie to play with them again. They steal her spell book and cast a spell in the morning, but Maddie chastises them for scribbling in her book. Despite this, the tadpoles feel they have finished the spell they need to use. Maddie and Marcy are successful in resurrecting Fleafy, but their triumph is short-lived due to the arrival of Rosemary, Lavender, and Ginger, who have risen to be giants. The three end up causing mayhem all over town. Maddie realizes that they haven't mastered the growth spell meaning they did all wrong and that they made their decision based on her advice to "grow up." Maddie, now that she realizes she's to blame for the crisis, has Marcy work on a cure as she grows to giant proportions to settle them down until they learn they can't stop rising. Maddie juggles her sisters as Marcy administers the cure to them. Maddie then apologizes to her sisters for not being a proper sister, taking Marcy's advice.[1]
Marcy stuck between the beak of the cardinal trying to eat her coat.
To find the second temple, Anne, Marcy, and the Plantars fly to the Amphibian arctic. When they arrive, they quickly find the entrance only to discover that there is nothing there. As they walk through it, Anne and Sprig see a parrot whom they instinctively recognize as Valeriana's from the Bizarre Bazaar. Before she shows herself and declares that she is aware of the temple. Valeriana seems to know how to get there, but that it would be difficult because it is dangerous. They plan to go anyway, and she gives the party new caterpillar fur coats because the weather is expected to be bitterly cold. Valeriana criticizes the party for being sluggish when they climb the side of a mountain. She then summons a cardinal to target the party in secret. Marcy tells the gang that they don't eat frogs, just caterpillars, so the cardinal threatens to eat their warm clothes, prompting Anne to throw her coat aside so the cardinal can go after it. While Anne was recharging the gem, Marcy and the Plantars were searching for Anne but later gave up. Marcy then showed them funny cat videos, causing them to scream getting the attention of Anne, who interrupts the gem charging to go and save them.[75]
Marcy overjoyed to see Sasha again.
Marcy pointed out to Anne that her clothing was tacky and worn out and that she required new gear before heading to the third and final temple, so she fetched Newtopian armorer Bernardo. Anne ultimately received a new appearance after Bessie rescued everyone from blowing up, with simply a breast plate over her old clothes, because she was now happy with who she was. Anne's decision was accepted by Sprig, Marcy, and Bernardo, however Marcy believed Anne would look lovely with a new hairdo, much to Anne's disgust.
Marcy, Anne, and the Plantars quickly discovered that the temple's routes were all about strength when they arrived at the third temple. Sasha, who had hunted them down with Grime, saves them. Marcy was overjoyed to see Sasha and gave her a warm hug as they exchanged compliments on their new attire. Unlike Anne and the Plantars, she was delighted to have Sasha assist them as she explained their goal to replenish the gems. Marcy was made powerless due to the tremendous gravitational pull, but she witnessed Sasha beat the stone guardian. When Sasha recharged the gem and Anne proposed opening it, Marcy intervened, advising them to wait and bring it to King Andrias so they could learn how to properly use it. Unbeknownst to Marcy and everyone else, Anne and the Plantars were correct to be skeptical, for Sasha's change of heart turned out to be a ruse, as she and Grime planned to invade Newtopia and were using them as a means of entry.[9]
Bonding with friends
Marcy happily drumming in the Battle of the Bands.
Marcy was at the Plantars' farm when Sasha and Grime were invited to supper. It began off well, but quickly devolved into an embarrassing confrontation between Anne and Sasha. Marcy attempted to remind them of their relationship, but the desert Grime that had been brought over began to damage everything. She shed a few tears of pleasure as she witnessed her two closest friends reunite after everyone was saved, and then everyone savored chocolate covered hornets.[14] The human girls reconstituted their band "Sasha and the Sharps" to compete in Wartwood's Battle of the Bands; despite a few setbacks, they put on an incredible show that the audience adored and they adored them more.[76]
Betrayal and wounded
Marcy justifying her actions by telling the two girls that she gave them everything.
The three human girls, the Plantar family, Grime, and Frobo all arrived aboard Joe Sparrow at the gates of Newtopia. Marcy requested Sasha and Grime to keep their hoods up before handing over the music box to King Andrias, so she could put in a good word for them and clear them of any wrongdoings, but just as Anne was about to give it over, Sasha and Grime made their move and seized the king, signaling their concealed toad warriors to create rioting across the city. Marcy attempted, but failed, to bring the conflict to a peaceful conclusion. General Yunan saved Marcy, Anne, the Plantars, Frobo, and Lady Olivia as they were being brought to the dungeon. Marcy glanced through her telescope when the gang reassembled and calculated that the remainder of the Toad Army was less than an hour away from Newtopia, and that once they arrived, the city would be fully overrun. Anne gave a motivating speech, inspiring everyone to fight back, and then she revealed the plan to put an end to the uprising. Marcy, Olivia, and Hop Pop would rescue King Andrias from the dungeon, while Polly, Yunan, and Frobo would assault the Toads head on in order to distract them, and Anne and Sprig would close the gate to keep the invading toad army out.
Marcy looks down as she is impaled in the chest by Andrias.
After Anne and Sprig fought Sasha and Grime, Anne handed the box to Andrias, who then showed his real malevolent intentions by using the box to power his castle, causing it to rise into the air, and then activating the old factories all around Amphibia to build a robot frog army that flew to the flying castle. Andrias intended to conquer other worlds in the same way that his forefathers had, and he planned to conquer the Earth. But before the group could fight, Marcy stood out, claiming that this was not part of the plan he had given her, only for the insane king to acknowledge he had been lying to her all along. When Anne and Sasha inquired about what they were talking about, Andrias revealed that Marcy had purposefully left them all stranded in Amphibia, shocking both Anne and Sasha. Marcy then told her friends about her family's impending move and how she planned to use the box to keep the three of them together. Marcy then tried to justify her actions by reminding them of their fun adventure, how Anne and Sasha have grown as people in Amphibia, and Anne's friendship with Sprig were all because of her, only for a distraught Anne, Sasha, Sprig, and everyone to back away, leaving Marcy on her knees crying and saying she didn't want to be alone. Marcy pulled herself together and joined Anne and the others in fighting the robots. Marcy rode on Joe Sparrow to save Sprig from dying when Anne triggered the power of the blue gem and fought Andrias, Marcy then pulled the Calamity Box off its pedestal and used it to open a gateway to Earth. Andrias impaled Marcy with his laser sword as Anne and the Plantars jumped through the vortex. Accepting her fate, Marcy apologized to Anne right before falling to the ground due to her wounds and the gateway closed.[19]

Stasis
With Marcy mortally injured, Andrias ordered Yunan and Lady Olivia to bring Marcy to a rejuvenation tank to save her from death, still needing Marcy alive for the next phase in his plans. She is seen in the tank inside Andrias' throne room, incapacitated and with wires attached to her, while Andrias sends a stealth-model Frobot to Earth and eliminate the Plantars, but mainly Anne.[77] Eventually, Marcy's tank is transported to the castle basement and overtime the wetsuit changed into an armor overtime that would be compatible with the 10-eyed helmet the Core was transferred through.[78]

Olivia and Yunan's rescue mission
With several weeks having passed since the incident, Amphibia is in a dystopian state, and Andrias has closed himself off from his subjects. Incited by Andrias' tyranny, Olivia conspires with Yunan to rescue Marcy who would help them stand a chance against Andrias. They journey to the basement and release Marcy from her stasis, though she is drowsy and weak at first prompting Olivia and Yunan to help her walk. But just as all three of them are about to leave, they get trapped inside a virtual manifestation of their worst nightmares, hers being Anne and Sasha rejecting her after betraying them.[78]
Trapped in her own mind
Marcy is transformed into Darcy.
Despite being able to destroy the simulation, Andrias finds the three and reveals he was aware of their presence courtesy of his master, a large robotic entity known as the Core. It grabs Marcy and places her in a chair, where Andrias explains its intent on possessing her due to her being the only one who can best Andrias in intelligence, despite him caring for her and previously begging the Core to pick someone else to be the host. A helmet lands on to Marcy, causing her to scream in agony as the Core transfers its being into her body and possesses her. Now under its control, Darcy wakes up, greeting the three ominously. This time, the Core gains absolute control of her body with her consciousness locked away from the rest of the hivemind though some of her traits still bled through, such as her clumsiness and love for red velvet cupcakes with ube-frosting.[78]
Darcy talks to King Andrias
The Core changed her name from "Marcy" to "Darcy".
After King Andrias failed to defeat Anne and the Plantars and destroys the drone headset and remote in a fit, Darcy appears and mocks him for his failure. Andrias reassures his master that nothing would stop his massive army, not even Anne and Earth.[79]
A while later, the Core-possessed Marcy disassembles her host's phone, claiming its technology "pathetic." Andrias brings her cupcakes and inquires on what to call as the Core simply chooses "Darcy", short for "Dark Marcy", as a reference to Marcy's video games. Darcy explains that the Core has Marcy "locked up" inside her body, until it is time for Marcy to become one with the Core. Darcy then asks Andrias to update the hivemind to optimize the system and purge it from "excess data."[80]
Frog-vasion
Darcy holding Anne and Sasha captive.
A few days later, "Darcy" prepares for the invasion and then lays a trap to capture Anne and Sasha, she, albeit under the control of the Core, then meets/reunites with Anne, under the control of Darcy whom taunts and questions her friendship with Sasha and Anne after examining her memories. After announcing their victory, Darcy decides to kill Anne so that she won't use her Calamity powers to defeat them. The latter, however, manages to outsmart her before Darcy announces that she will keep Anne alive for now, planning to dissect her as they, along with Andrias, begin the invasion on Earth.[6]
However, Anne and her allies manage to escape from the castle and regroup with her parents, Mr. X, and the FBI. With enough forces, the rebellion continues their fight against the Frobot army where Darcy and Andrias discovered Anne and her allies' escape. After Anne and the Plantars free mind-controlled herons, Darcy angrily orders Andrias to fight and kill Anne while Darcy battles Sasha and Grime when they sneak back into the castle to turn off its forcefield.[13]
Overcoming her flaws
Marcy hugging her BFF picture.
Within the recesses of Darcy's mind, an amnesiac Marcy finds herself surrounded by her interests including puzzles, books, and a whole fantasy world. Aldrich arrives and tells her that she can have whatever she wants and she excitedly embraces her world. Marcy tries to remember what important memory she has forgotten, but Aldrich continues to feed into her wants by turning her into a fantasy character and providing her with a more compliant Anne and Sasha. Marcy soon realizes that the Anne and Sasha in her fantasy would never be so willing, hence she overcomes it, and rejects the fantasy, with Aldrich trapping her in a black void after.[13]
Breaking free
Marcy reunites with her friends.
The Core loses control over Marcy.
Afterwards, Sasha was given the opportunity to cut off Darcy's helmet cable, destroying the Core's hold over Marcy, freeing her. Anne, Frobo and the Plantars fly up to the castle to a revived Marcy. She apologizes for her actions and getting them sent to Amphibia to begin with as she did not want to lose her friends. Anne tells her that no matter what happens, nothing will ever erase the good times they had together. A few moments later, she and her friends transport the castle back to Amphibia to announce their victory only to find the blood moon of Amphibia getting closer to the castle.[13]
The Fate of Amphibia
Upon seeing Amphibia's moon coming down, Marcy reveals that during her time when she was in the Core, the Core is afraid of being destroyed and since it has failed to take over Earth and the Mulitverse, it decided to take Amphibia with them by ramming the moon towards it. Mother Olm then shows up and informs her, Anne, and Sasha that the prophecy has finally come to pass, and Sasha reveals to her that they are Destin to save Amphibia. Valeriana returns and helps her, Sasha, and Anne reconnect with her powers from the gems and awaken their full calamity forms. The Trio then soars into space to take on the Core, they then battle the Core's remaining forces and destroy every single one of them before facing the Core. However, she spots a swarm of Frobots approaching, believing Andrias is helping the core, she flies to stop them, but trips over some space debris, then to her surprise, the Frobots came to help as Andrias has finally turn on the Core.
When the Core proves too powerful and since Marcy and Sasha are not used to their calamity powers, Anne decides to use the stones' power to use a powerful spell in order to destroy the core which could also killed her. Anne then sent her and Sasha back on Amphibia, she then reveals that Anne intends to use a spell that will only destroy the core, but will also killed Anne as well, causing Sprig and Frobo flied to her. She and Sasha continued watching as Anne used the spell to destroy the Core once and for all, as they cheer, Sprig and Frobo return with Anne's not stone body which shock her and everyone. Marcy began to cry along with everyone as Anne died and disintegrated, however, to her surprise, Anne had returned with small fragments of the Calamity Gems. Marcy did some tests on the shards and determined that they only had enough energy to send the girls on a one-way trip home.
The human girls start to say their goodbyes to all their amphibian friends. Marcy apologizes to the newts for technically being the cause of all their troubles, but Olivia and Yunan thank her for changing their lives. A repentant Andrias, quietly tells her to "take care." Anne, Sasha and Marcy then walk through the portal back to Earth.[81]
Marcy, having returned to LA, sees her parents crying profusely at her safe return and apologizes in earnest for everything she put them through. They forgive her and tell her none of that mattered, and that her father was able to delay his new job while they waited for her return. With Marcy back, the Wu family would still have to move away soon, but first, Marcy was to be examined by several doctors, especially for the scar on her chest from when Andrias stabbed her, attend therapy to help her with her ongoing problems, and was able to spend as much free time as she could with Anne and Sasha to make the overall transition more healthy for Marcy.[82]
Epilogue
Sasha and Marcy delighted to see Anne.
After several weeks of doctor and therapy visits and redoubling her bond with Anne and Sasha, during which Marcy learned she would much rather do things that she and all her friends could enjoy instead of rope them into things only she liked such as Creatures & Caverns,[83] Marcy finally moved to Hopkinton, Massachusetts alongside her parents, now separating her from Anne and Sasha. However, the group of friends parted on the best of terms and would continue to remain in touch despite this, texting and calling each other almost every day for the first year of separation.[84] Afterwards, they found out they did not necessarily need to talk to each other as frequently and found it to be a healthy transition, while their friendship did not weaken in any way. Marcy still sent pictures of every interesting bug that caught her eye, to which Anne and Sasha were more positively receptive of than before.[85]
At some point within the next 10 years after the move, Marcy has begun to work on a popular webcomic inspired by her adventures in Amphibia and whose central character is based on Anne. The webcomic proved successful enough that a studio bought the rights to it and she wonders if it may become an animated series someday. She still keeps in contact with her childhood friends from time to time and flew to Los Angeles multiple times over the years to see them.[85]
In 2029, the day of Anne's 23rd birthday, she arrives at the airport where Sasha picks her up and they head to the aquarium where Anne now works to celebrate her birthday. Upon arriving, the group of friends embraces one another, and they begin celebrating.[81] After Anne received the phone call from Terri inviting the friends to their lab the next day for some "very exciting news", Marcy finally finished the last entry of her journal and got signatures in it from Anne and Sasha.[86]
Relationships
Anne Boonchuy
Marcy and Anne happily reunited.
They are quite close friends. However, Anne is usually responsible for making sure Marcy doesn't get herself injured, due to the latter's clumsiness. It isn't until Anne sees Marcy fend for herself, that she realizes that Marcy has truly changed since they arrived in Amphibia and she's more than capable of taking care of herself now. After Marcy learns that Anne and Sasha had a fight, she and Anne both agree that it's time they made their own decisions and promise to find Sasha, as well as a way home, together. The two are shown to be quite close and supportive of one another. However, friendship is strained a bit in "True Colors" when Anne finds out Marcy intentionally planned on getting the two of them and Sasha trapped in Amphibia because her parents were planning to move. Marcy does come to realize her mistake in siding with King Andrias though, and helps Anne and the Plantars escape back to Earth. When King Andrias proceeds to stab her, she uses her last breaths to apologize to Anne for her actions. Her greatest nightmare in "Olivia & Yunan" is her fear of being rejected by her and Sasha because of the incident. In "The Beginning of the End," Anne is determined to not only save Marcy but also try to salvage their friendship and convinces Sasha to do the same after the latter holds on to some mixed feelings towards Marcy for stranding them in Amphibia in the first place. In "All In," Marcy repeats her confession to Anne and Sasha that she feared that a long-distance friendship caused by her potential move would tear their bond apart. Forgiving her friend, Anne sympathizes with Marcy by saying that, although change cannot be stopped, their bond and memories of it will never be lost, no matter how long or how far apart they are.
10 years later even she though has moved out of town she still visits whenever she can and their friendship is still unbreakable.
Sasha Waybright
Marcy and Sasha are finally reunited.
Not much is known about Sasha and Marcy's relationship until the last episodes of the show. Sasha is at times annoyed with Marcy's clumsiness and once even jested to Anne that her clumsiness might get her killed. Marcy, like Anne, used to let Sasha decide everything for her to do. Despite this, however, she still wants to find Sasha before returning home. They are both overjoyed when reunited in "The Third Temple" with Marcy being quicker to trust her than Anne and the Plantars are. Marcy does end up having to serve as the mediator between her and Anne during "The Dinner" and "Battle of the Bands" during their conflicts in both episodes but generally tend to have a solid friendship. The events of "True Colors" end up straining their friendship quite a bit though due to Sasha revealing she only used her and Anne to get to Newtopia to begin the Toad rebellion with Grime and trying to imprison her along with Anne when they refuse to join her in ruling Newtopia as well as Sasha being angry and disgusted when finding out Marcy intentionally planned on getting the two of them and Anne trapped in Amphibia because her parents were planning to move. Her greatest nightmare in "Olivia & Yunan" is her fear of being rejected by her and Anne because of the incident. In "The Beginning of the End," despite wanting to save Marcy and make amends with her, Sasha began to have mixed feelings about forgiving her for stranding them in Amphibia and was worried if their friendship can be saved. But thanks to Anne's words, Sasha regains her confidence in wanting to make an effort to salvage their friendship. By the events of "All In," Sasha forgives Marcy for everything and is glad to have her friend back and safe from the Core.
10 years later, despite moving away, Marcy still visits whenever she can and their friendship is as strong as ever. When Marcy visits LA to celebrate Anne's birthday with Sasha, she contemplates staying longer than she planned and Sasha welcomes her to stay at her place as long as she wants.
King Andrias
Marcy and Andrias quickly bond because of their common quirks.
Marcy initially looked up to him and seemed to consider him a parental figure to the point of confiding her problems to him over a game of Flipwart and even making a deal with him at the end of "A Day at the Aquarium" to bring him the box with the three loaded gems to carry out his plan, and in exchange, he would take the three girls with him to the new worlds. When Marcy does get the charged box to him in "True Colors," Andrias reveals he had no intention to follow through on it and was just manipulating her. When Marcy falls to her knees crying with remorse for what she had done, he had even taunted her for spilling her heart out to him over Flipwart. Along with his attempt to kill Sprig, this causes Marcy to turn on Andrias and fight against him with the others, which eventually leads to him stabbing and critically wounding her at the end. However, in "Olivia & Yunan," Andrias still had her respect towards her and had begged to choose someone else for the Core to host, causing him to look away as she is about to be possessed. In "All In," flashback to the day Andrias and Marcy first met; Andrias is caught off-guard by Marcy's energetic and enthusiastic personality, but outwardly acts charmed by this. Marcy even climbed into Andrias' robe pocket and gave him a pin shaped like a block robot toy. After this first meeting, the Core spoke to Andrias through his crown and, utilizing a ritual to extract the calamity powers from the girls back into the gems, he hatched the plan to lure Marcy's human friends to him and send them to the temples. Despite going through with it, Andrias still holds onto the pin even during the invasion of Earth. When Andrias breaks down from Leif's letter to him, he begs Anne to save Marcy from the Core, finally feeling remorse for his actions. Later, during the final battle against The Core, Marcy initially attempted to intercept Andrias' Frobot army but stopped upon realizing that he was aiding them, and (in a deleted scene) she looked back toward Amphibia, happy at her friend's change-of-heart. Just before Marcy leaves Amphibia, she bids a short but friendly goodbye to Andrias and, surprised at this, he tells her to take care while still looking solemn about his actions. 10 years later, Marcy has a pin that resembles him pinned onto her purse, showing that she hasn't forgotten about him and still somewhat cares for him.
Lady Olivia & General Yunan
Marcy, Olivia, and Yunan celebrate their victory over the illusions.
Olivia and Marcy seem to get along well, as Olivia shows Marcy respect and praises her for her accomplishments. Even so she does become irritated by Marcy's childish antics as seen in "The Sleepover to End All Sleepovers," but does not hold to it against her because she is aware Marcy is still a child and needs to have fun. As seen in a flashback in "Olivia & Yunan," Marcy was willing to honor her family's vow to watch and protect Amphibia due to the kindness she and the Newts show her when she arrived which made her happy. Despite knowing that Marcy had stranded her friends in Amphibia on purpose, Olivia still trusts her and chose to save and free her, even given her a blanket and tea to help comfort her.
As for General Yunan, she and Marcy are just as close. The two of them even worked together as pirates and went through countless journeys throughout her time in Amphibia. When Andrias took things too far, Yunan helped Olivia save Marcy. The two newts were horrified when Andrias and The Core proceeded to possess Marcy and use her for their plans. When Marcy had to leave Amphibia for good, both Yunan and Olivia are thankful to her for showing them the important things in life and how she was the reason they found each other. Although Marcy regretted the fact that she didn't take more time to get to know Olivia and Yunan better, the newt ladies are just glad they met her at all and for the chance Marcy inadvertently gave them to grow closer.
Plantar family
Marcy is amazed to meet the frogs that took Anne in, the Plantars
Marcy got along with Hop Pop and Polly instantly when they first met when they were impressed by her knowledge and interest in farming. While Sprig was initially distrustful of her due to previous experience with Sasha, he came around to trusting her and considering her a friend after she saved him from the queen Barbari-ant. Marcy in general is shown to share a close friendship with all three of them, even bonding with Hop Pop in "Friend or Frobo?" over their interest in seeds, carrying Polly in episodes like "The Second Temple," and including Sprig and Polly in her and Anne's sleepover in "The Sleepover to End All Sleepovers." She is even shown horrified and remorseful when finding out how much pain and suffering she was causing them during the Flipwart trial in "The First Temple." Their opinion of her becomes strained a bit in "True Colors" when finding out she intentionally planned on getting herself, Anne, and Sasha trapped in Amphibia with Sprig even growing uncomfortable and backing away when she tries to justify her decision and how much Anne benefited from Amphibia. She is noticeably remorseful over her actions especially when Andrias throws Sprig out the window with her having a tearful expression. This does not stop her from trying to make amends by saving Sprig from falling while Andrias is distracted and helping them and Anne escape from Andrias. They are shown horrified and saddened at Marcy's possible death when Andrias stabs her. The Plantars were even shocked to see her possessed by the Core, but was later freed and they were glad to see her alive.
Maddie Flour
Maddie and Marcy bonding over their shared interest in magic.
Marcy and Maddie quickly became great friends as of "Maddie & Marcy" after Marcy saw her stop a living tree using her potions and bond over their shared interest in magic. Maddie even took Marcy in as her apprentice, as Marcy wanted to learn to do magic herself. Though their friendship sparked jealousy upon Maddie's younger triplet sisters, and when Marcy suggests that she should make time for them, Maddie brushed off the idea as she believed that being a witch was more important. Marcy was proven to be correct as Maddie's negligence led to her sisters growing to gigantic size after she told them to "grow up" and Marcy and Maddie worked together to save them from exploding. Maddie takes Marcy's advice to be a better older sister to them.

Trivia
- Out of the Calamity Trio, Marcy was the only one who neither spoke nor was shown at the present time in the first season. Instead, she was shown in a flashback in the opening and "Best Fronds"; pictured in the opening, "Best Fronds", and "Prison Break"; mentioned by Anne once each in "Best Fronds", "Wally and Anne" (indirectly), "Cursed!" (indirectly), and "Anne of the Year"; and mentioned by Sasha twice each in "Prison Break" (indirectly) and "Reunion".
- Marcy is the only one of the Calamity Trio to not appear in the Vlogs from the Bog short series.
- In an interview with the website Medium, Matt Braly said that Marcy's parents never appeared physically on the show because the team was approaching max capacity when it came to characters and story elements to pay off, and unlike Anne with her parents, Marcy didn't really need them for her story and arc to be satisfactory.[91]
- Despite being of Taiwanese descent, Marcy's exact race and ethnicity hasn't been confirmed, given Taiwan ethnicity can consist of multiple demographics, such as Han East Asian or sinicized Austronesian.
- Marcy, Anne, and Sasha are the only humans to visit Amphibia.
- However, they are not the only humans to see Amphibia, as Mr. Boonchuy, Mrs. Boonchuy, Terri, Dr. Jan, Ally, Jess, Molly Jo, Humphrey Westwood, two elderly Thai women, Mr. X, Jenny, and unnamed FBI agents witness the dimension through Terri's portal in "Escape to Amphibia".
- Marcy, along with Sasha and Anne, is featured in one of creator Matt Braly's first drawings for Amphibia;[92] depicting the three at some point before they were sent to Amphibia, Marcy is seen sleeping on a couch in the image, with Sasha holding her and Anne close.[93] Braly revealed the image stuck with him throughout the development of the whole show as a way to prove to himself that Marcy, Sasha, and Anne "cared for each other no matter what they went through on the show".[94] The words "Its complicated" were also featured on the image, which Braly revealed was a way to showcase how each of the three had played a role in making their friendship toxic, but each of the three would then play a role in reforming it.[92]
- Clothing similar to Marcy's school uniform was shown by Carbon Costume for fans who want to cosplay as her.
- She plays a video game console that is almost identical to the Nintendo Switch.
- When she saves Sprig from the Barbari-ant queen, her eyes briefly glow green for a few frames, similar to how Anne's eyes glow blue and Sasha's eyes glow pink.
- Marcy is shown to be ambidextrous.
- A running gag in the episode "Marcy at the Gates" is Marcy's cloak catching on fire and her panicking every time it happens.
- Another running gag which also started with "Marcy at the Gates" is Marcy falling on her face, sometimes down stairs. This applies even when she was possessed.
- Marcy lived in Amphibia for four months prior to reuniting with Anne.[10]
- Marcy has shown traits of autism and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Matt Braly initially considered this to be coincidental in August 2020,[95] and he would later elaborate in June 2022 that he did not confirm her as autistic because he is not qualified to do so.[96][97][98] However, he also said that he is not opposed to any fan interpretation of her as autistic.
- A possible reference to said interpretation appears in the Chibiverse episode "The Roast of Dr. Doofenshmirtz". In one scene, Marcy can be seen in the background patting her knees and waving at the audience, possible exhibitions of typical autistic behaviors of stimming and a difficulty understanding social cues.
- In one of her concept arts when Marcy is on Earth, she seems to play violin due to her left hand carrying a black violin case filled with different colored circles, squares, and rectangles.
- Marcy is a self-proclaimed "master" of RTS (real-time strategy) games and has beaten King Andrias at the game Flipwart, which she describes as "chess to the max".[73]
- Marcy is a straight "A" student in every class other than gym, which she is too busy reading to partake in.[73]
- Marcy is said to be head of the Chess Club back as Saint James Middle School.[73]
- In the Amphibiland pilot, Marcy had short hair, beady eyes, her hairpin was on the other side, she wore earrings, and she wasn't wearing a hoodie.
- Marcy loves red velvet cupcakes with Ube frosting.[99]
- She is the only human to be possessed by the Core.
- Marcy appears to have green blood,[13] shown when Sasha scratched her face with her sword.
- According to Matt Braly, her blood is stained green due to Disney's Television Standards and Practices disallowing the appearance of red blood. However, Braly justified it as the nanobot fluid from the rejuvenation tank still circulating in her bloodstream and said that after a while her blood would regain its normal red color.[100]
- Following the release of Marcy's Journal: A Guide to Amphibia, Adam Colás revealed character notes he had taken from the first writers' room discussion about her debut episode, "Marcy at the Gates".[101]
- One note reads that Marcy is "not in a hurry to leave", referring to her betrayal.
- According to Marcy's Journal: A Guide to Amphibia, Marcy is an Aquarius, due to in one of the photos drawn,[2] the Aquarius symbol is above her in green, revealing that she was born between January 20 and February 18, 2006.
- Coincidentally, her voice actress Haley Tju is also an Aquarius.
- Additionally, this also makes her the oldest in the trio.
- Ironically, her actress is the youngest of the Calamity Trio actresses.
- Marcy turned 14 years old between the events of "Froggy Little Christmas" and "The Core & The King" and is the only member of the Calamity Trio who could not celebrate her 14th birthday on its actual date, due to being possessed by the Core.
- The notes in Marcy's journal when she plays the violin with the group of Night Guards is the first notes of "Marcy's Theme" composed by TJ Hill.
