Masha (also Marianna,[1] rus. Маша) is the main character of the Masha and the Bear series.

She is a restless little girl who can hardly stand still due to her having lots of energy. She must know everything and be everywhere at the same time. Her curiosity and nosiness are off any scale and know no boundaries. Everything she comes in contact with must be thoroughly examined and tried on. She never feels down and hardly fears anything or anyone. Much like any child, she considers herself the center of the world and thinks that everything must obey her whims and wishes. She's friendly beyond any description as she firmly believes that she can never have enemies simply because she's so lovable. She treats everyone as if she has known them for ages. She is friends with everyone, but especially Bear. Like any small child, Masha likes sweets, especially lollipops. In the episode 33. Sweet Life, Masha demonstrates this to the extreme. She is friendly and extremely innocent, but has a mischievous and curious streak. She is not liked by the other animals due to her often selfish and destructive behaviour. As a child she is not setting a good example because she is disobedient.

Description

Masha has fair skin, short honey-blonde hair, green eyes, rosy cheeks and a slender figure. She usually wears a pink kerchief, a sarafan of the same color, a long-sleeved bluish-white shirt underneath and multi-colored pink-yellow-white sneakers. She is friendly and well-meaning, but has a tendency to get in others' ways. On the question of why Masha does not grow up, the creators of the show joked that "she had conspired with Peter Pan".[2]

Personality

Masha is very smart, as can be judged from the ep. 55. Driving Lessons in which she rebuilds the hospital van for the wolves.

She also can be pretty cunning as shown in the ep. 37. Bon Voyage in which she hides in the Bear's suitcase when he tried to secretly go on a trip without her.

Although she constantly conflicts with Panda she works together with him when Himalayan Bear was babysitting them. This shows that she can put aside differences to protect her friend.

Many times she helps Bear by setting him up with Lady Bear whom Bear adores.

Lastly, she possesses leadership qualities as shown in the ep. 68. Additional Entertainment in which under her guidance Bear, Lady Bear, Rival Bear and Bear's father play in a quartet that wouldn't have happened without her participation.

Abilities and skills

She can do the moon walk and squints eyes from time to time. She is good at hand-to-hand combat techniques. She also knows how to cook jam and perfectly plays chess and tennis. Lastly, she can play the electric guitar.

Family

Parents or other adult relatives of Masha have never shown up. However, this does not mean that she does not have parents, they simply "are not suitable for a fairy tale" and "too busy, shy and do not want to act in a film".[3][4]

In addition, in the city of Masha there is sister Dasha — "such a cousin, as a sibling".[5]

Personal Belongings

Masha's house

Masha lives in a small yellow house in a railway station somewhere in central Russia. If believe the postal index in the ep. 23. The Foundling, the houses of Masha and the Bear are somewhere near Tyumen.

In the courtyard of her house live the pig Rosie , 2 chickens and the rooster, the dog and the goat, who all seem to be terrified of Masha and her pranks.

In addition, she has:

  • A cerise dress set. This suit is her favorite, so she wears it more often than others. It is assumed she has 2 or more, as she lends one to her sister Dasha in the ep. 36. Two Much.
  • Several other dress sets. Bear makes these for Masha in the ep. 18. Laundry Day. Whether she keeps them is unknown, but she keeps the pale blue one as it is seen in the ep. 40. Terrible Power.
  • Other costumes for special occasions. They can be seen one or two times. This winter coat and hat, a Snow Maiden costume, a school uniform, a superhero costume, pajamas and others.
  • Masha's Toys. Masha's favorite toys are a doll and a bear. A large blue plush rabbit often in her games acts as a «villain.» Masha also has many other toys, mostly they look like Soviet-era toys.
  • Mashuko is the robot that Panda gave Masha for her birthday.

Interesting Facts

  • Her favorite sport is hockey (not surprising considering the fact that hockey is Russia's national sport). She is considered the best among all the characters in the series regarding this sport.
  • She has a huge appetite (for example in the ep. 06. Jam Day, it is shown that she ate 6 whole baskets full of raspberries by herself, which Bear would use to make jam).
  • She says "oi" when falling or when something bad happens.
