Remember a while back when I mentioned that Marie’s head is in another plane of existence? I wasn’t joking, by the way. Sometimes people in the Sirpaverse have a very sharp cutoff point on their bodies cutting off a body part akin to how a missing limb looks like in the real world… except, the body part isn’t actually gone! Marie should be dead, having no brain to be observed, but she isn’t. Nevermind that she can see and hear and talk! This isn’t exactly proven 100% in-universe, but the most accepted theory is that these lost parts are sort of… in another dimension. Marie’s body partly goes into a higher dimension that we cannot observe, like a three-dimensional creature being partly in the second dimension. (Sadly Marie can’t change how much of her is physically here nor observe any higher dimensions either, so like, it’s not even a very good party trick)

The effects of this are varied and occasionally strange. Marie doesn’t feel her head but still knows how to close her eyes and speak — she can blow a raspberry!!! How!?? I dunno, she figured it out as a kid. She has no eyes to get dust or dirt in, but having sand blown in her “face” is especially unpleasant and unhealthy because she also has no protection like lips or nose hairs to stop her from inhaling it directly into her lungs. Bright lights are still bright and loud sounds are still loud, and they can be hard to block out. Heavy rain can be dangerous. Cold air is cold in her throat and lungs. People can’t read her at all, most of the time. But… at least she won’t get brain cancer….? 

You usually won’t see Marie from above (because she’s 190 cm tall) but the cutoff point of her body looks like this from above: 

It seems to emanate light, but if you observed her neck in complete darkness it would not illuminate anything, only itself very faintly.
