Jari-Thure and Sarianna's daughter. When she gets older, Marketa wants to marry a man just like her father: somebody who can take a lot of abuse.


— Directory, Sonic Unleashed (Xbox 360/PlayStation 3)

Marketa (マルケッタ Maruketta?) is a character that appears in Sonic Unleashed. She is a human resident of Holoska and the daughter of Sarianna and Jari-Thure.

History[]

Xbox 360/PlayStation 3[]

Marketa was born as the daughter to Jari-Thure and Sarianna. While growing up in her small village, Marketa often saw her parents arguing, with her father being the target of her mother's demands. Nevertheless, Marketa could see that her parents actually got along well, and understood that her mother just had a very dominating personality. At some point in her life, Marketa was told not to go into the local Entrance Stage as it was too dangerous.

During the events of Sonic Unleashed, after the earth was shattered due to Dark Gaia's awakening, Marketa met Sonic the Hedgehog and Chip when they first came to her village. Happy to meet these new faces, Marketa introduced herself and offered Sonic to ask her about information on Holoska. When Sonic asked about the village, Marketa told him about how it always snowed the whole year in Holoska, how their houses were made of snow, that they used ski and bobsleds to move around and the different sea animals. When Sonic afterwards asked Marketa about the people in the village, Marketa told him that she was related to everyone in the village, that they lived by fishing, that her father was a master fisherman and that her grandmother "sells stuff".

Later on, Marketa saw Sonic and Chip returning from the local Entrance Stage. Surprised that they came out of there alive, Marketa began asking Sonic about what was in there, though she realized that she got carried away and apologized. A little while later, after seeing that Sonic and Chip had met her parents, Marketa explained their unique relationship to them.

Some time later, Marketa met up with Sonic and Chip again, where she asked Sonic why his hair was blue and spiky and heard Sonic explain that he was a hedgehog, which made her understand that his quills was not hair. A little while later, Marketa was told by her father that Sonic and Chip were bringing the shattered earth back together. When Marketa met Sonic and Chip a few days later, she told them what she had heard from her father and that she had no idea the planet could come apart and stick together. Marketa then told Sonic and Chip that they were amazing for doing that and asked how they did it, though she caught herself being too excited in her amazement and apologized.

When Sonic and Chip later came to Holoska again, Marketa met up with the duo once more. Noticing something different about Sonic, Marketa told him that she thought he look stronger and wondered why.

When Sonic and Chip only had one continent left to restore, Marketa met up with Sonic and Chip again when they came back to Holoska. Having heard rumors about the state of the world, Marketa told them that she had heard that things were coming to a head and asked if it was true before saying that she wished them good luck and that she would be sending them good thoughts.

Marketa later watched on in horror with the rest of her village as Dark Gaia began to cast the world into darkness while maturing into Perfect Dark Gaia, but rejoiced as the world returned to normal following Perfect Dark Gaia's defeat at the hands of Super Sonic and the Gaia Colossus.

Wii/PlayStation 2[]

During the events of Sonic Unleashed, after the earth was torn apart by Dark Gaia, Marketa met Sonic the Hedgehog and Chip when they first came to Holoska, where she introduced herself and offered to ask her anything about the village. Having noticed a man hiding in the lumber yard, Sonic asked Marketa why he did that. Marketa explained that it was father trying to hide from her mother, Sarianna, and the chores she had for him. As Sonic asked if it were some kind of scary chores, Marketa said that while she did not know that, she knew that her father was a coward. Feeling bad for her though, Marketa asked Sonic not to tell her mother where her father was as she did not want her father to lose face with her mother.

A while later, Marketa met Sonic and Chip again, where she told them that it was a little warmer while the sun is up after noting Holoska's coldness. Marketa then heard from them that they were searching the world for Chip's memory. Willing to help, Marketa gave Sonic and Chip Soundtrack 36, though she was not sure it would help or not.

Some time afterwards, at night, Marketa met Sonic and Chip again, where she told them that she thought that things seem kind of weird after dark, so she tried not to go out at night. She then thanked Sonic and Chip for visiting her as she was feeling lonely, and gave them Soundtrack 37 as a thank you. Some time afterwards, Marketa met Sonic and Chip once more, and remarked how cold it was at night in Holoska as well, before saying that it was a good thing Sonic wearing a fur coat in his Werehog form before asking if she could feel it.

Marketa later watched on in horror with the rest of her village as Dark Gaia began to cast the world into darkness while maturing into Perfect Dark Gaia, but rejoiced as the world returned to normal following Perfect Dark Gaia's defeat at the hands of Super Sonic and the Gaia Colossus.

Personality[]

Marketa is friendly and very eager to learn about Sonic's adventures and travels, possibly due the fact that she has grown up in an isolated area. However, she often makes herself a little too excited. She is aware of her mother's harsh treatment of her father, but understands that it is only because she likes to take charge of things.
