Marcie Ross

Marcie Ross was a Sunnydale High student who became invisible. She was portrayed by Clea DuVall.

History
Marcie was a high school student at Sunnydale High School. She was not popular, had no friends and was completely ignored, even by teachers. Her only real activity was to play the flute. After a while, she became invisible. Giles theorized that it was the result of the Hellmouth manipulating reality on the quantum level. Since people essentially perceived Marcie as being invisible, she literally became that way. Using this new 'power', Marcie started terrorizing the popular students, with Cordelia Chase as her main target. The Slayer, Buffy Summers, found out what had happened to her, but when she tried to confront Marcie she and Cordelia were captured and Giles, Xander and Willow were locked in a basement that Marcie subsequently attempted to 'flood' with gas. Angel rescued the group in the basement because of his lack of a need to breathe (being a vampire), while Buffy managed to defeat Marcie by using her other senses to knock Marcie into a theatre curtain, thus rendering her visible. At the end of the episode, she was taken away by federal agents Doyle and Manetti, and the last thing we saw of her, she was in a classroom full of invisible students like herself, and a teacher. In the classroom they were going to learn about "Infiltration and Assassination."

Behind the scenes
