On her eleventh birthday, Marnie is given the Shoebox Zoo by an elderly man and is revealed to be The Chosen One with the goal to find the Book of Forbidden Knowledge and restore the Shoebox Zoo to their human forms after being trapped as toy animals for eleven-hundred years. Marnie is not exactly the most nicest hero and at times comes across as the Alpha Bitch and a Jerkass. She gains strong magical powers, but goes through a dark period in Season 2 when she is corrupted by the dark magic of the book. She has Age-Appropriate Angst, but often breaks down whenever her mother is brought up.
* Age-Appropriate Angst: Marnie's mother died when she was ten and spends the next year mourning her mother's death. She often acts quite aggressive and mean, particularly towards the Shoebox Zoo, treating them like they're a bother for most of the time.
* This is turned Up to Eleven in the second season, particularly in Episode 24 where she angrily confronts her father and asks if he meant what he said about being willing to do anything to resurrect Rosemary.
* Alliterative Name
* Alpha Bitch: Marnie acts like this trope towards the Shoebox Zoo for most of the show, but gets out of it by the end of the second season.
* Big No: Does it twice in Episode 12, once when Edwin opens the book, and again when Wolfgang dies.
* Captain Obvious: Marnie can be bright at times, but has a tendency to express the obvious at times.
* The Chosen One
* Creepy Child: Marnie becomes this in Season 2 when she is corrupted by the book's power. She snaps out of it though.
* Dreaming of Things to Come: Marnie has dreams of the past and the future, but mostly of the past.
* The Heroine
* Heroic BSOD: Marnie has numerous throughout the show. Most notably when Wolfgang dies, when Toledo's origins are revealed, and when Aurora steals the Book.
* Memento MacGuffin: Marnie's necklace is one of Edwin's tail feathers, created by her mother when she was a girl.
* Rain of Arrows: Marnie is shown to be a skilled archer, and uses this to destroy the book.
* Refusal of the Call: Marnie downright refuses to participate in the quest until halfway through the first season.
* Shock and Awe: Marnie displays an ability to fire electricity in Season 2.
* Teleporters and Transporters
* What the Hell, Hero?: Marnie earns this a lot, as she is not exactly the most nicest hero ever. She often misteats the Shoebox Zoo and is quite stroppy and mean.
* In Season 2, Marnie turns evil. She traps Bruno in a rock, tortures Wolfgang's spirit, and disintegrates Nathaniel to gain the book with the intention to resurrect her mother.
