Kurama, Mariko

蔵間真理子

Also known as Number 35, she is a young girl described as the sole surviving "third generation" Silpelit (a Silpelit born from a parent infected by another Silpelit, rather than one infected by a Diclonius) and the daughter of Kurama at age five. During an escape attempt by Number Three (who was actually Nana's sister), Kurama was infected by her vectors and thus became a carrier of the diclonius virus, resulting in his daughter being born a Silpelit. In the anime, she possesses 33 vectors, each with an approximate range of 11 meters (the number and range are significantly higher in the manga). Mariko was imprisoned as an infant and raised inside a steel container, with human contact limited to a scientist acting as a sort of foster mother through speakers and monitors. Her physical impairment is evident in her atrophied limbs as she moves around in a wheelchair.
Despite the environment in which she was raised, she is relatively well developed psychologically. She is extremely homicidal and sadistic, enjoying the torture and dismemberment of her victims. However, her personality is not blatantly evil. She is merely having fun, and the pleasure she derives from it is equivalent to a child playing with toys.
