Marysalis Shimmer

Queen Marysalis Shimmer is a female dark robot who is the main villain in the The Gear Heroes: Friendship is Powerful series.

Backstory
Marysalis Shimmer's origin is told by Pharaoh Man according to the first episode of the series and happened before the Maverick Wars.

She came from a strange planet called Hollow Shard which few people, especially scientists, know about. Her creator is unknown, but it is known that he passed away after Marysalis left the place due to a dangerous meteor shower, comet fall and global warming. Before long, her home was destroyed and she had to travel throughout the universe for almost a decade in search of another planet to live on, which would be Earth. Once landing there, she went to explore for a while being impressed by the beauty of Mother Nature, mountains, pyramids of Egypt, the Great Wall of China, among other wonders. When she was deciding where to reside, she chose Japan and built her own science laboratory very far from the city of Tokyo. Excited to find new friends and very self-confident, Marysalis came up with creating her own inventions and doing school science projects to earn money for her own needs, but no one wanted to get close to her for whatever reason. The robot did her best to get the attention of humans with her experiments that would serve as fast-growing fertilizers. However, everything has gotten out of control creating an immense inferno: giant vines grew underground feeding on human flesh, skin cancer caused by ultraviolet rays, smoke from factories polluted the air, oil spilled by rivers and oceans, hurricanes, forest fires, and Marysalis' inventions failed, endangering human life. She tried to save everyone, but it was too late, as most living beings died from these natural phenomena. Humanity rejected her presence and expelled her from Earth. Believing that robots are hated mainly because they are now considered a threat to them, Marysalis began to hold a deep grudge and has become a sinister villain.

In the year 21XX, after Sigma started the Maverick Wars, the robot met him and decided to help him secretly with the extermination of the human race, although not even the Maverick Hunters managed to notice her presence. However, tired of these robot heroes beating them over and over again in order to maintain world peace, Marysalis abandoned Sigma, angrily refused the offer to continue working with him, and decided to devise her own evil plans on her own to create a universal world exclusively for robots and zero humanity. During those times, she has been suffering for years with mental and emotional health problems, stress, depression, and anxiety.
