| “ | You know what I hate most about you, Marion? You're consistently, eternally wrong… and yet you're still alive. All those lost battles, every year of that entire lost war, but somehow you always cobble together enough dumb luck to walk away unscathed. The eternal sole survivor. You don't deserve that kind of luck. Nobody does. | „ |
| ~ SCP-3125 to Marion Wheeler in "Your Last First Day". |
| “ | She feels it, now. She knows in her bones that she is irreal; an animate memory; an ideal, an abstract. When she started to exist a few moments ago she was mostly realistic, but she can feel flaws and complexity being stripped away from her. She can see the shape of the idea complex which Hughes is assembling around her. It looks familiar. It looks like a heavily reworked slice through the concept of the Foundation itself. The Foundation's noblest intentions and achievements, at least. The best purpose of its existence: to protect people. To swallow up all the horror, to manage it and understand it, to keep it under lock and key, so that people don't have to be afraid. | „ |
| ~ Marion’s inner monologue in "Tombstone". |
Marion Wheeler is one of the notable characters and scientists in the SCP Foundation series. She is one of the high ranking Foundation personnel and the director of the Antimemetics Division, who tried to solve the mystery of the unexplained disappearance of the original Antimemetics Division, which lead to her confrontation with the evil god-like entity designated SCP-3125, leaving Wheeler to try to stop it from destroying all of reality.
She is the protagonist of the first series of tales set in the "Antimemetics Division" storyline, and a supporting character in the series' second storyline.
Appearance[]
According to her character sheet, Marion Wheeler was around 50 years old, standing 1.55m tall, and possessing petite-ish build. She possessed long, very dark or black wavy hair which ended just past the shoulder, with streaks of grey, since she didn't dye them and usually she pinned up or tied her hair back. She possessed either greyish or brownish colored eyes. She wore fashionable, varifocal glasses with thick, bright blue square frames, a business suit with trousers, and jacket which she typically took it off, a naturally colored blouse with an interesting design, good quality ankle boots with stubby heels, a mechanical wristwatch, and previously wore a wedding ring before taking it off after removing her memories of Adam. She also always wore a chunky and brightly colored Foundation photo ID card at work, wearing it around her neck with a lanyard which was also brightly colored.
After she became an informational constructs Marion had no real appearance due to now lacking a body, but she could appear herself as her original form depending on the memories of the people who remembered her. During the takeover of SCP-3125 Marion was described as malformed due to people forgetting about her. After being remembered by Adam again she temporarily took the appearance of her old self.
Powers and Abilities[]
Marion Wheeler was originally a normal human, but thanks to her training in dealing with antimemetic anomalies and the usage of mnestics, she was able to protect her mind from the harmful effects of these anomalies. She was also capable of using weapons such as firearms against more physical threats. After taking an overdose of Class-Z mnestics she became unable to forget anything which also included the smallest things which the brain would naturally disregard, causing severe brain damage to her that would have left her becoming brain dead.
Following her death, thanks to people who had experience with mnestics remembering her, Marion became an informational entity inhabiting the human collective consciousness exactly like SCP-2111 and MTF Omega-0. After Marion was amplified by Hughes' machine she became a countermeme powerful enough to completely destroy SCP-3125 without much effort. As she destroyed the entity she also began ascending through different layers of reality inside the noosphere.
Personality[]
While at her job Marion was very pragmatic, assertive and authoritarian. She took her job extremely seriously and with confidence and was always determined to complete every task given to her, a thing which she seemed to be proud of. Despite not showing much emotion outside and generally having somewhat of a sour attitude, she dearly loved her husband Adam, preferring to share as much time together as possible before she deleted her memories about him in order to keep him safe, and cared about her coworkers as she often sympathized with them when they went through a bad experience. However, as SCP-3125 began messing with her life she tried her best to keep it away from humanity but the futility of her attempts had deeply destroyed her self-confidence as she thought that everything she tried was in vain and there was nothing she could do, and seeing herself in this state devastated her even more. After taking an overdose of class-Z mnestics and becoming an informational ghost she was left mentally broken and unable to form full sentences with the only thing gave her hope being her husband Adam. After reuniting with Adam and being amplified by Hughes she was once again determined to destroy SCP-3125 for good, while being dismayed that she would not see her husband ever again.
