History

Fatal Fury

Born in the city of Southtown, Blue Mary grew up with only her father in her life. With his time consistently taken by his occupation, however, Mary turned to learning the arts of Commando Sambo strongly influenced by her father who was a police officer of the city. Seeing the society that her father worked in made her also realize the reality of crime and injustice in the world.


Her training complete, Mary used her skills to become a secret agent, and was immediately placed to work on a number of missions with a young man named Butch. The two became a competent team, completing many cases, and bringing many criminals to the eyes of the agency. However, one day Butch was assigned to a case, and after a long time duration, he never returned.


Mary was devastated, not only by the loss of a person important in her life, but how she failed to uphold her duty.

Following its conclusion, Terry Bogard informs her of the NESTS cartel and their actions occurring in Southtown. With a new goal in mind to stop the organization, Mary joins the Women's Team along with King, Kasumi Todoh, and Li Xiangfei, and the "Lonely Wolves" in 2000 and 2001 to assist in stopping NESTS in the following tournaments, eventually leading to its demise.

While she was excited to enter the King of Fighters tournament as part of a new version of the Women Fighters team, Mary was quite upset with Terry for replacing her with new talent. When Mary tried to bring the situation up with her boyfriend, her complaint was fallen on deaf ears as Terry ignored her (as evidenced by their special intro in KOF 2003), and in fact didn't seem to really understand why she was so upset (as evidenced in his winning quote against Mary).

Trivia

  • Blue Mary can be seen in various cameos in some stages, like next to the house in the KOF '96's Fatal Fury Team stage, standing on a fire-escape in the Downtown (day) stage of KOF: Maximum Impact and in the daytime Tower Festival stage in KOF: Maximum Impact 2.
  • About Kevin Rian from Garou: Mark of the Wolves, SNK Playmore didn't confirm or deny if Kevin is Mary's relative, yet. The similarities between both characters are evidents: both have blonde hair, shares similar last names, are cops and both using Sambo as fighting style.
  • Blue Mary's belt has grown considerably bigger than the size it was in her debut.
  • Recently, Blue Mary has been confirmed to appear in the King of Fighters Maximum Impact Regulation A, along with Ash Crimson.
  • Mary's outfit suffered some aesthetic changes when she was ported from Fatal Fury to The King of Fighters: she no longer wears her jacket while fighting, and her top was changed too (in Fatal Fury, it was green and had a rounded square-shaped cleavage).
  • Blue Mary sports a "taser blast" attack only in the older Real Bout Fatal Fury games, the attack has never been incorporated into her KOF appearances from 1997 and on. In the Real Bout series, her counterthrow move would also shock the opponent. The "taser" attack has been reintroduced in her "Maximum Impact: Regulation A" appearance.
