Martha Marriott

"Madam... I know you think you have it all figured out. But understanding that you don't is the first step toward growing up."

- Martha to Becky Blackbell in Chapter 36

Martha Marriott (マーサ・マリオット) is a supporting character of the SPY x FAMILY series. She is the butler of the Blackbell family and typically acts as Becky's caretaker.

Appearance
Martha is a fairly tall old lady with gray hair styled in a low bun. In the past, she had her hair done in a low ponytail.

She typically wears a black suit with a white undershirt. For jewelry, she wears two gold ball earrings and a necklace in the shape of a bell with the letters "BB" on it, possibly standing for Becky Blackbell and representing her servitude toward her.

Personality
Martha carries herself in a very dignified manner, not showing signs of anger when she is disappointed in someone. Despite working for a very wealthy family, she seems to show no care about class herself. In serious moments she can become very strict and even protective over people she cares about, even scolding and reproaching them if they try something inappropriate or unexpected.

Background
According to Loid Forger's observations, she is likely a former soldier, indicating that she may be expected to act as a bodyguard for Becky if necessary.

Abilities and Skills
Fighting Skills: Being a former soldier, Martha has combat skills and notable high speed, as she quickly leaped into the air to shock Vadim with a taser when he tried to run with Anya and later caught the little girl.

Becky Blackbell
Martha has a very motherly relationship with Becky, likely having spent more time with her than with Becky's mother. She shows disappointment in Becky for her crush on Loid and her attempts to steal him away from Yor. She tries to make up for this by presenting the Forgers with a gift when they come over unannounced. Becky's reckless spending habits can also exhaust her a lot. She wants Becky to have friends, so she admonishes her when she acts mean toward others and tells her to be more understanding. When Becky becomes friends with Anya, she tries to push Becky toward doing things to build up their friendship.

Henry Henderson
Martha and Henry appear to share a history, shown when they immediately recognize each other during a hostage crisis. When Henry offers himself to the terrorists in exchange for getting the dorm tutor to a hospital, Martha gets confused and worries about his situation.
