Hè-... hè-hè-h-h-h-Hello again! My name is [OLD MODEM SOUND]

M.A.R.I.L.L.A glitching awake at the beginning of every episode.

The Minecraft Antiquated Robot Inadequate Loves Lying Audaciously, also known as MARILLA or M.A.R.I.L.L.A, is a character in the official Minecraft YouTube channel voiced by Marilla Wex.

She hosted the series Ten Things You Probably Didn't Know About Minecraft and then co-hosted The Secrets of Minecraft with Narrator from How We Make Minecraft.

Appearance[]

MARILLA is an old box computer with a creamy tan colored base, dark brown casing, a green and white screen, a gray keyboard and a "Team Player Mode" switch on the back. A ROM cartridge with Minecraft on it can be seen sticking out and a joystick sitting at the side connected by a cable. She is able to run programs such as Minecraft on herself.

Personality[]

MARILLA is lighthearted, sarcastic, confidant, and audacious. She is quick to give false trivia and can be a little superstitious but always does so with positive boldness. She likes endermen.

Trivia[]

  • The introductory sentences has minor differences depending on the video, some being in the greetings: "Hello!", "Hello there!", or "Hello again!" along with the glitching. The modem sound is also occasionally "[MODEM SOUND VARIATION 3582]" instead of the usual "[OLD MODEM SOUND]".[1][2]
  • MARILLA is the second computer character in the Minecraft franchise after PAMA.
  • The squid overlords taking over Minecraft that MARILLA occasionally mentions may be a reference to the antisemitic conspiracy theory of reptilian overlords controlling Earth.
  • MARILLA implied at one point that a witch offered her three magic beans in exchange for her body being trapped in a computer for all eternity.[3]
  • The description card on Minecraft's YouTube channel has her as "Artificial Untelligence", [sic] "Sentient computer/worryingly immortal", "Excellent liar", etc. This changes each episode.
  • Her co-host, Narrator, believes that "MARILLA was created a few thousand years before rocks were invented".[4]
  • Her name is likely based on her actress Marilla Wex, as seen by the acronym having random words that spell out "MARILLA".
  • The glitchy introductions feature MARILLA displaying a mockup of the boot loader 'Kickstart' from the Commodore Amiga line of computers, a slight nod to our underground demoscene roots.
