マエリベリー・ハーン マエリベリー 玛艾露贝莉·赫恩 마에리베리한 마에리베리
A [[Touhou]] character (alt. spelling Maribel Han, or Maryberry Hearn).

A girl living in the outside world with the ability to see borders of any kind, including the one which separates our world from [[Gensokyo]]. Along with [[Usami Renko]], she is the member of an Occult Club with the secret purpose of finding a way into Gensokyo.

Due to both characters having boundary-related abilities, as well as a degree of visual resemblance, fan theories abound about a possible connection between Maribel and [[Yakumo Yukari]], with some even going so far as to suggest that they are somehow the same person - the most common theory being that Maribel somehow cast herself backwards in time and ultimately aged into Yukari as she returned to her original era "the long way". [[ZUN]]'s own comments on the pair pointed fans towards the writer Lafcadio Hearn, who moved to Japan and was naturalized with the name Koizumi Yakumo.
