Mary Towa

Mary Towa, known as Towa Marie (都輪 マリィ) in Japan, is a Japanese-French girl with a pacemaker who prefers being alone and operates Ring.EXE. She and her Navi constantly argue with each other about whose fault it was that causes them to lose the tournament. She is a playable character in MegaMan Battle Chip Challenge and participates in the Battle Chip GP. Mary came from Netopia to stay a while in Yai's house as her homestay sister.

Game History
Mary has stayed at Yai's house and become an exchange student in ACDC Town's School for a week. Although she envies other students who could play freely, she kept telling herself that it can't be helped, and she prefers to be alone anyway. Unknown to her, Ring, her NetNavi, has secretly register her name as a contestant in the Battle Chip GP. Ring told her that it's a 'special plan' to help Mary make a lot of friends. Mary was enraged at first, but soon after being introduced to Lan, Mayl, and Dex by Yai, she decided to enjoy the tournament to the fullest.

After finishing Class E tournaments, she is 'introduced' to Chaud by Lan. Lan described Chaud as a 'distant friend who always come to aid when needed'. This interests Mary, as how it is possible to help friends in trouble should the distance is faraway. Mary wonders to herself if she is somehow able to do the same like Chaud, helping and socialize with friends regardless of distance or health. Afterwards, Ring secretly (again) builds another plan to socialize with Chaud and ProtoMan using a fake threat email. Chaud and ProtoMan explains that they admit Lan and MegaMan's strength, but not really consider them as 'friends'. Chaud told her that they simply have their own way to socialize with others, thus suggesting Mary and Ring to do the same.

Manga History
Mary and Ring appears in the Battle Story Rockman.EXE manga by Keijima Jun and Miho Asada, in Volume 4. Mary ran away from Ayankoji's Family bodyguards, and meets Lan. They explain their intentions to participate in N1 Grand Prix, which purpose to execute a 'secret operation'. But since they absent in the preliminaries (probably because of Mary's bad health or Yai's disapproval) they attempt to sneak in instead. On the way, Lan and Mary fall into a pit where they encounter Anetta and PlantMan who are currently executing one of WWW plans. Mary and Ring cooperates with Lan and MegaMan, thus defeats PlantMan, with Anetta escaping afterwards. Afterwards Mary explains her true intention to make friends through Net Battle because of her poor health. Lan easily accept them as friends, leading Mary to hug Lan in joy, resulting in Mayl's jealousy.

Next, canceling their plan to sneak in the tournament, Mary follows Chaud to the Gas Supply Control Room on Ring's suggestion: "Should we solve the problem before Official do, we shall become famous!" Inside, Mary uses Ring to assist ProtoMan in a fight against Mr. Match and FlameMan who seem to be immortal. Thanks to their help, Chaud realizes FlameMan's secret (regenerating by using two candles), and the two pairs came victorious. Mary and Ring aren't mentioned again after this event.
