Mary Saotome is a deuteragonist of _Kakegurui_, and also the main protagonist of the spin-off series _Kakegurui Twin_. She is a student at Hyakkaou Private Academy, and a classmate of [Yumeko Jabami](https://anilist.co/character/121889) and [Ryota Suzui](https://anilist.co/character/122688) who is the first character in the entire series that challenges Yumeko and loses against her.

At first, Mary is shown to be incredibly sadistic and twisted, such as how she treats her classmate Ryota Suzui after he turned into a "housepet", due to his low social status within the academy, and is shown cruelly taunting her fellow opponents during their gambling matches. She's also shown to be extremely egotistical both in and out of matches, often being confident in her victory. Mary also possesses a habit of mocking her opponents and laughing at them, especially when match seems to be her win.

After losing to Yumeko Jabami and experiencing the life of being a housepet, Mary became desperate to regain her status within the academy, having no other goal in her mind. Soon after being humiliated, Mary eventually loses her pride, having a mental breakdown during a match against Yuriko and falling into the state of grief and shame. After regaining her status, she seems to be no longer this arrogant and cruel, sometimes being only nettled by Ryota's cowardice or Yumeko's reckless behavior, but still deeply caring about them. She also developed a huge hatred towards the student council, wishing them to pay for what they had done to housepets.

Hyakkaou Private Academy. An institution for the privileged with a very peculiar curriculum. You see, when you're the sons and daughters of the wealthiest of the wealthy, it's not athletic prowess or book smarts that keep you ahead. It's reading your opponent-the art of the deal. What better way to hone those skills than with a rigorous curriculum of gambling? 
 
At Hyakkaou Private Academy, the winners live like kings, and the losers are put through the wringer. But when Yumeko Jabami enrolls, she's gonna teach these kids what a high roller really looks like!
