Mari

Mari is the shopkeeper at a store [Hinata](https://anilist.co/character/141167/Hinata-Aoi) and [Kyuu-chan](https://anilist.co/character/141166/Kyuu) often visit. Mari is a young woman with long blonde hair tied up in a ring. She's very cheerful and polite, but can be very business-minded, such as spinning tragic stories about her merchandise to get people to buy them (ch. 481) and reminding Hinata to buy products from her shop after giving him directions to a sweet shop (ch. 464). In the morning, she's very drowsy and low-energy, crawling across the floor to get ready for her day (ch. 479) Kyuu-chan often hangs out at her store while Hinata's at work. She sometimes creates merchandise based on him, such as dolls (ch. 278) or book-covers. (Source: Fushigi Neko no Kyuu-chan Wiki, edited)
