Marvin

Description
Marvin is a 16-year-old Praying Mantis who lives in Sky High Gardens. He loves to collect weird or pretty objects that he comes across, which some may interpret as just a bunch of junk. He is able to effortlessly reap through weeds and crops with his sharp appendages, which he often does in order to help out around the gardens when he's bored. His interest in the garden is mostly fuelled by the fact that he likes Mandy, one of the many flower sisters.

Although Witch Game is set during summer, he does attend a small school, which is where he met his friends, Liz and Ashley.

Personality
Marvin is very introverted and quiet, preferring not to be around too many people. He spends most of his time thinking to himself, sometimes getting lost in a trance.

He can come across as cynical, often criticising things or actively hating trends. Despite this, he does loosen up around the right people and has a sense of humour. He views his friends very positively and will defend them even knowing their flaws.

Most often, he will play the straight man to everyone else's ridiculousness, noting when things are going too far.

Beth and Edward
After meeting and assisting Marvin in Sky High Gardens, he developed a friendship with the siblings. He is willing to assist them on their way, though he does not desire to accompany them. He is mortified when Liz and Ashley fight with the duo, but is glad when everyone eventually seems to get along. He often chooses to hang out with them when the fire elementals are becoming too much.

Liz
Marvin and Liz are similar in many ways, often hating the same things or swapping dark humour. Liz is far more extreme with her hatred, however, and sometimes falls into a rage by herself. Marvin often says that she is just stressed out and misunderstood, but also to completely avoid her at all costs. Although it disappoints Marvin to watch Liz burn countless bridges, literally and figuratively, he tries to be supportive and has faith she will grow up someday.

Ashley
Many years ago, Ashley was Marvin's biggest bully, always picking on him or making fun of his appearance. She would push him around and generally be a massive pain. At some point, he began standing up to her, fighting back and getting them both into trouble. After this incident, Ashley slowly began to respect Marvin for being a cut above the average wimp. After many years, she is now somewhat like a tough older sister figure to him, giving questionable life advice and hanging out.

Trivia

 * Marvin started his life as a Nowhere exclusive character, known only as "The Mantis" who resembled a much more stubby and emotionless version of his current design.
 * Originally, his role in Liz's friend group was filled by the character Cole, but they were moved around as it seemed more interesting.
