	Blue Mary was raised since a child by his father, whom had a very busy 
life. Ever since she was young, Blue Mary began to learn the arts of Commando 
Sambo and build up her body, following the lessons of her father, whom in turn, 
had been a student of Geese Howard, Southtown's mob leader. Learning from his 
father how crime is a society disease, Mary quickly learned what her vocation 
would be: that of a police agent. 
	Mary trained very hard and became, in time, one tough woman! Not only was 
she deadly from afar, she could easily get in and grapple her opponent, leaving 
almost no bone unwrecked. Blue Mary then got her chance as a secret agent at a 
very young age. There is where she met what she thought at the time, was the man 
of her life. His name was Butch (why do I always picture a bulldog when I hear 
that name?).
	Blue Mary and  Butch worked together in several missions, sucesfully 
completing each and every one. They got to know each other more and more after 
every mission. Mary was charmed by Butch's lovely attitude, his will for doing 
the job well done, and most of all, his will to live. Butch was also very 
impressed with Mary, since he had never known a woman so tough and decided as 
her! Soon, Mary and Butch began to learn a lot about each other, and both were 
very happy with each other. Mary saw Butch as a man who would never surrender 
until he got the job done. She admired him for that. Once, when they were 
drinking at a bar, Butch got up, stood behind the barstool, and began to whip 
out a drink. After it's completion, Butch named it the "Blue Mary", his favorite 
drink, and something he would always rely on. Thus, that's where the name Blue 
Mary came from.
	One day, Butch was assigned a very precarious mission of high risk. Mary 
offered to accompany Butch, but he refused, excusing that Mary was still not up 
for the job, and that it was for her own sake. With a tender smile, Butch bid 
Mary farewell, and went out to complete the mission as soon as possible. Mary 
waited for days, for weeks...and Butch never came back...and he never did.
	Finally, Mary received from a member of her agency a leather jacket. It 
was Butch's, and it was found right in the place where Butch had died. Mary took 
the jacket, and still puts it on, reminding her of her love for Butch. Mary then 
realized she  would complete Butch's mission: that of erradicating the scum of 
society and wipe them off the face of the earth.
	Mary soon began even more popular than Butch. Her missions were always 
realized with quickness, and efficiency. She always had a way to get things 
done, always at her way. Mary, and her pet dog, Anton, traveled the whole world, 
cracking cases and trapping the bad guys. However, in one mission, she 
discovered a very serene man who was fighting once. Mary distinguished him as a 
strong man with long, blonde hair, and a trademark red cap. After finishing his 
battle, the man took a look at Mary, and recognized her as a pretty tough woman. 
Mary laughed, and ever since, the man and her have been very close friends. The 
man was no other than King of Fighters legend, Terry Bogard, the man whom 
defeated Geese and Krauser.
	As of late, Mary has began being more and more involved with the Lone 
Wolf. She was amazed on so many experiences Terry had ever since his father died 
at the hands of Geese Howard. Mary found a lot in common between her and Terry, 
and she was beginning to feel something she had not felt for a long time. 
Something she had not felt ever since Butch was with her. Mary was truly 
enchanted by Terry, and she began to fall in love with him.
	However, her work was far from over. One day, a secret person, in charge 
of a personal investigation agency, sent a letter to Mary for a secret meeting. 
Mary attended the meeting, and the person was there, waiting for her. The man 
told her that soon, Ryuji Yamazaki would be entering the King of Fighters '97 
tournament. Mary was familiar with Yamazaki, who was reknown as a very infamous 
gangster. The mystery man told Mary to keep an eye on him and Billy Kane, who 
was sent by Geese to look after Yamazaki as well. Mary's suspicions grew more 
and more: what did Geese want with Yamazaki? Without any other clue, Mary teamed 
up with Yamazaki and Billy, forming one of the more peculiar teams of the 
tournament. During the outcome of the tournament, Mary discovered, from 
Yamazaki's reactions to the manifestations of the Orochi power, was that indeed, 
Yamazaki was of Orochi blood! Mary was surprised, and figured out that Geese had 
sent Billy in order to keep an eye on the Orochi power of Yamazaki. But, then, 
what did the mysterious man want with Yamazaki and his Orochi power? This became 
very suspicious for Mary, but during her moment of confusion, Yamazaki had run 
away. 
	With no other cue more than to investigate the true intentions of the 
secret man, Mary began a new case. She soon found out that the mystery man was 
working for Geese Howard, and that he was using her to aid Billy to control 
Yamazaki, and bring the gangster to him! Mary was enfuriated, and taking a new 
case in her hands, Mary went out to catch the most powerful man of Southtown.
	After two years of being on the trails of Geese Howard, Mary received a 
surprise invitation by King, one of her contacts in Southtown and personal friend. 
She was asked to join King in the latest King of Fighters tournament. Thus, Mary 
decides to leave the case temporarily, and helps her friend out. After all, it's 
always time to have some fun breaking some bones!
	Mary is a very spirited young woman, and since she is pretty well known of 
how men fall for her beauty. She even exploits her enchants to make her fights 
more easier! She is as gracious as a rose, but also with deadly throns. Once in 
a while, Mary feels a bit lonely, that's when she begins to sing a blues. 
However, Mary is also a very dedicated woman, who has no other vision in mind 
than to complete her mission, and trash the bad guys!

*Fun fact = In Real Bout: Fatal Fury, characters can fall out of the edge of the 
rings, and lose the round. There was a stage which was surrounded by water, and 
encased in wooden boards, which would break if the opponent broke through them, 
and fall into the water. Now, if Blue Mary knocked her opponent into the water, 
and she fell as well, she would come out of the water...topless! Woooooowww!!! A 
bit of eye candy for the pacient gamer! ^-^
