Personality and traits

Marie, in her usual regal, with her significant sis Skyler ("Breakage")

"Marie is a loving sister and sister-in-law who has got some quirks and sharp edges to her simply has a adept heart."

―Vince Gilligan

Marie is non necessarily the most likeable person in the world — she has a trend to be shallow, vain, and snobby, along with obsessive-compulsive tendencies and other neuroses. Noticeably, she apparently suffers from kleptomania when she's stressed, one time driving her to steal an elderly couple's framed photo of themselves during an open house for which she created an entire fictional identity ("Open House"). She saw a therapist named Dave for her obsessive shoplifting. All the same, Marie genuinely loved her hubby Hank and extended family unit, and did the best she could to assist him when he was recovering. Marie doesn't hesitate to offer communication to others, but often fails to practice what she preaches. Nevertheless, Marie is supportive of her family especially her husband, fifty-fifty after Hank got shot Marie tried to motivate him in his therapy and was excited nigh his progress, simply Hank brushed information technology off leading Marie to start her stealing again. She is also quite impulsive, not thinking through her deportment, even though she has adept intentions at centre. Ane instance was taking Holly abroad from Skyler when she learned almost the meth business organization Walt and Skyler were involved in, even though in that location is no evidence to testify it, and she could take been charged with kidnapping if Hank had not stopped her. Another example was when she told Hank to tell the DEA that Walt is Heisenberg, not realizing if Hank submitted such a story without physical evidence, he would be fired from his job.

She appears cocky-centered, shallow, sharp, and opinionated, but is very devoted to her husband and cares deeply for her sister's family. She disliked a pair of her shoes, calling them "ugly white squeaking effectually after old ladies shoes" that she says requite her support. In this instance, she very deftly swiped some new ones from a shopping mall, leaving her ugly white squeakers backside. While she has never been shown to exist at her job during the prove, she is oft seen with her white lab coat for her X-ray technician work. She is "thinking well-nigh a move up to management". The sisters briefly fell out when Marie gave Skyler a stolen tiara for her unborn girl, but Marie, who was receiving treatment for her kleptomania, eventually apologized and she and Skyler reconciled. Withal, their relationship seems to be permanently destroyed when Marie learns the truth about Walt'due south criminal activities, disgusted at Skyler both for her refusal to assistance them in taking Walt downward, as well as her continued loyalty in Walt. Their relationship continues to deliquesce even more as Hank continues to hunt Walt, such equally when Marie watches Walt's false confession. After Hank finally arrests Walt, Marie (unaware of Hank's expiry) attempts to give Skyler a gamble to redeem herself by handing over Walt's "obscenity" (the simulated confession video) and revealing the truth to Walter Jr, however, the final blow to estrange the sisters comes when she learns that Hank is dead and that Walt remains gratuitous.

Afterwards learning that Walt is a meth kingpin, Marie begins to demonstrate a darker side. She tells Hank that he must apprehend Walt at all costs and even says directly to Walt's face that he should just kill himself in club to free the family from the burden of his criminal activities. She even seems to have fantasies of killing Walt herself equally implied during a conversation with her therapist in which she discusses her fantasy of poisoning Walt (nether the guise of a "family friend") and claims that while she will hurt nobody, it feels expert to remember about it. It is evident that Marie deeply despises Walt for the atrocities he has committed and what he has washed to the family unit and clearly wants him expressionless or captured at all costs.

Marie seems to strictly watch her weight and is large on eating healthy, low fat food. It is implied that she is a Whole Foods store fan. She appears to harbor an obsession with the color majestic; she is almost always portrayed wearing purple and many elements of her home decor, including her kitchen appliances and bed linens, are matching shades of purple. However, some fans imply that it is not Marie, merely Hank who is a fan of purple, as Hank wears imperial clothing at several points in the show, and Marie doesn't habiliment whatsoever majestic at all later on Hank's death. Marie appears very sullen in the aftermath of this drama.

Marie also has a rather annoying habit of talking quickly about several subjects at the same time, and she besides has problem believing people when they tell her to stop talking.

"I got a call from Hank. He arrested Walt 3 hours ago. It's over. Dead to rights, I believe is the expression.
