Maru is a brilliant young inventor from Pelican Town, known for her curiosity, kindness, and love of science. Between helping at Harvey’s clinic, assisting her father Demetrius with research, and working on her own machines, she is always searching for ways to understand the world and make life a little better.

Friendly, practical, and quietly ambitious, Maru is easy to talk to but far deeper than her cheerful first impression suggests. She loves astronomy, robotics, difficult questions, and people who take responsibility for their actions.

Though confident with tools, medicine, and machines, Maru can become adorably awkward when emotions turn personal. Beneath her intelligence and capable hands is someone who wants to be seen not just as useful or impressive, but as herself.
