Marsh Merriweather

Marsh Merriweather is a student at High School USA! and serves as the leader of The Gang.

Personality
Marsh is described by Kartheiser as “the optimistic leader of the gang,” someone who is “always trying to make people happy.”

Marsh has strong morals, but doesn't always know how to go about them. In the episode Sexting, he tries to make Brent feel better by getting the whole male population of the school to send pictures of their penises to all of the girls. However, he then feels uncomfortable doing it. Despite being so naive, he tries to be the voice of reason, and he's given the position because nobody else is qualified.

Marsh is insecure about his weight, and shows signs of having an eating disorder. In the episode Adderall, he tells Amber that her dieting pills "look delicious," before he finds out that it's just Adderall. He rarely eats, complains about being "three pounds overweight", and is part of a community of dieters, even attending DietCon. He is a huge fan of Garret Philanders, Brad's father, the creater of "the candy diet."

Appearance
Marsh has short brown hair with bangs. He is thin, which is probably due to an eating disorder.

Relationships
It appears that Amber and Cassandra may have crushes on Marsh. In the episode Sexting, in which they are arguing, they both go to him.

History
Marsh's parents are divorced. He lives with his father in a shabby, single-story house. His mother, Donna, left his father and married Ansen, a strong, heroic man. He and his father live off of child support and alimony checks from Donna. Despite this, he seems to be perfectly happy living with his father.
