Fatal Fury
Born in the fictional city of Southtown, Blue Mary grew up with only her father in her life. With his time consistently taken by his occupation, however, Mary turned to learning the arts of Commando Sambo strongly influenced by her father who was a police officer of the city. Seeing the society that her father worked in made her also realize the reality of crime and injustice in the world.

Her training complete, Mary used her skills to become a secret agent, and was immediately placed to work on a number of missions with a young man named Butch. The two became a competent team, completing many cases, and bringing many criminals to the eyes of the agency. However, one day Butch was assigned to a case, and after a long time duration, he never returned.

Mary was devastated, not only by the loss of a person important in her life, but how she failed to uphold her duty. Determined to avenge him, Mary continued taking missions, becoming more and more famous. She began to travel the world, and in one case, met none other than the legendary "Hungry Wolf" Terry Bogard, to whom she took a liking, developing a strong bond.

The King of Fighters
In this series, her work was far from over. One day, a mysterious benefactor (Geese Howard) requested her services to enter the King of Fighters tournament, along with Billy Kane and Ryuji Yamazaki.



During the outcome of the tournament, it was discovered that Yamazaki had become more and more insane due to the Orochi blood coursing through his veins and that Billy was sent by Geese to keep an eye on him in order to learn the secret of the Orochi power. However, during a moment of confusion, Yamazaki escaped and Mary was left to ponder on Geese's motives and the root of the situation.

Following its conclusion, Terry Bogard informs her of the NESTS cartel and their actions occurring in Southtown. With a new goal in mind to stop the organization, Mary joins the Women's Team along with King, Kasumi Todoh, and Li Xiangfei, and the "Lonely Wolves" in 2000 and 2001 to assist in stopping NESTS in the following tournaments, eventually leading to its demise.

In 2003, Mary did not have the opportunity to join the Fatal Fury Team due to the fact that Terry enlisted the help of Joe Higashi and Tizoc. As a result, she decided to join up with former teammate King, as well as another Fatal Fury Team alumna Mai Shiranui. While she was excited to enter the King of Fighters tournament as part of a new version of the Women Fighters team, Mary was quite upset with Terry for replacing her with new talent. When Mary tried to bring the situation up with her boyfriend, her complaint was fallen on deaf ears as Terry ignored her (as evidenced by their special intro in KOF 2003), and in fact he didn't seem to really understand why she was so upset (as evidenced in his winning quote against Mary).

In KOF XI, Mary teamed up with fellow agents Vanessa and Ramon to form the Agents' Team.
