Wow people like this one. I was just thinking Mari's story arc after the Lancer game she's from ended. I decided she would probably put on weight as part of simultaneously hating her fate, mourning the life she thought she had, and learning to love living in her own body.
She used to try not to acknowledge her body. She spent a lot of time fully immersed in the virtual reality of the 'net. She used to always wear a sylph suit — a thing like a bioengineered living still suit — to the point where she didn't really own clothes.
Finding out that her bodily autonomy had been violated to the point that a cybernetic system had been installed in her brain without her knowledge. Finding out that she might not even be who she thought she was. After that she flipped and saw her physical body as the only thing she could trust.
