We humans might be shameless at times, but that's still how we feel. I think if someone told me that my heart was just a fake, I'd really be hurt.
—Mary, regarding MOMO during her analysis, Episode II

Mary Godwin (メリィ・ゴドウィン, Meryi Godō~in) is the close sister of Shelley Godwin. Mary functions as Jr.'s second-in-command onboard the Durandal as well as the Chief of the Kukai Foundation's First Strategy Division. Everyone in the Foundation respects her and values her opinions. Mary is also fun loving and the life of the party within the Foundation. In fact, many members of the Kukai Foundation have initiated the "Mary & Shelley Fan Club", at the suggestion of Jr. himself. Mary and Shelley are close to Gaignun and Jr., and Helmer considers them his daughters.

Background[]

Mary is able to communicate telepathically with her sister via "interlink" which is defined as "An exchange of thought between two individuals who are physically connected via an apparatus, normally achieved by tapping into the U.M.N. network via a control device implanted inside the body." Mary and Shelley are both victims of the Life Recycling Act.

She was born on Miltia but speaks with an unknown planetary accent. In the English version, she speaks with an American Southern accent.

She was once part of a group of people who were illegally "owned" by a pharmaceutical company that used them as guinea pigs and kept on constant medication, which she hated.

Twelve years ago, Gaignun[1] saved Shelley and Mary and they made the Kukai Foundation their new home. Mary and Shelley adopted the surname "Godwin" after, and are close enough to consider each other sisters.
