It’s recently come to my attention that most people assume Mari is a senior, which I guess makes sense, but I always thought she was a junior. It might be just because Alexa Barajas has a younger looking face, but I just can’t convince myself she was a senior.

Here’s why:

1. Mari follows the older girls around like a puppy, in particular Jackie in season 1. It really just gave “I want this older popular girl to like me.”

2. Akilah is implied to be younger than Mari in the pilot and a confirmed junior in season 2, HOWEVER nationals happened at the end of the school year and it’s not uncommon for sophomores to take SAT prep which would explain the book (or it could be someone else’s). And clearly the girls knew a new school had started (doomcoming).

3 . We don’t see her at the party the night before nationals. I know it’s not really confirmed what the party was, just that it’s “tradition.” I just kind of assumed it was a senior send-off.

Definitely not a bulletproof case (Yellowjackets isn’t known for it’s impeccable continuity) it’s mostly just vibes but I wanna know if anyone else thought this or if I’m just behind😂
