After hearing this, I&#8217;ve decided to write this week&#8217;s blog about these two very loved characters. Now as you guys know, I wrote a 10-minute play called MarcyBug, where I introduced Marcilene and Felix as main characters. Many of my peers, including non-literary students, enjoyed the dynamic that they shared so I chose to center my novelette on them as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Marcy is a 17-year-old, school focused, girl who is Felix&#8217;s best friend. Felix is an 18-year-old drop out, who loves playing guitar and hanging out. The main conflict between these two is Felixs major crush on Marcy. Since they grew up together, Marcilene views him as a brother rather than a love interest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Physical Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Marcilene: Long brown hair, skinny, around 5,6. She wears basic 2010&#8217;s clothes, nothing special. She has basic black glasses. She has freckles scattered across her face. She always has on some type of jewelry as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Felix: Jet black, layered hair, chubby, 5,7-ish. He wears baggy jeans, layered belts, layered shirts. (Think peak Rodrick Hefley.) He has candy bracelets on obviously, and always Converse! Basic 2010&#8217;s guy. He wears dark eyeliner and if he was a teenager in today&#8217;s time, he&#8217;d probably be performative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Character Traits:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Marcilene: She is very on task constantly. She is always worried about everything being perfect. She is very lover girl. She is sweet to everyone she meets and never causes trouble. She has a fair number of friends and is just a very optimistic person. She struggles with social standards, and she always tries to fit in. As she lost her mom when she was young, she still deals with doubt in her family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Felix: He is extremely laid back and chill. He is constantly playing guitar, and he doesn&#8217;t really care what people think about. He is very devoted to his &#8220;friendship&#8221; with Marcilene. He is very loyal to her. He is a bit ruder than Marcy, however he doesn&#8217;t go out of his way to be rude, unless he believes the person deserves it. He has minimal friends, but he loves to go out to parties and whatnot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/outfitinspo-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22662\" style=\"width:169px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/outfitinspo-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/outfitinspo-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/outfitinspo.jpg 736w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"974\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/download-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22663\" style=\"width:169px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/download-8.jpg 735w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/download-8-226x300.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/download-9-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22666\" style=\"width:120px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/download-9-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/download-9-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/download-9.jpg 736w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 85vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"736\" height=\"981\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fa3d0310a63fadccec4d229687e83b6a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22664\" style=\"width:170px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fa3d0310a63fadccec4d229687e83b6a.jpg 736w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fa3d0310a63fadccec4d229687e83b6a-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve found that music helps you get to know a character very well.
