Marianna is a character in the fourteenth Goosebumps Series 2000 book, Jekyll and Heidi.

Jekyll and Heidi
Marianna is the daughter of Dr.Palmer Jekyll and is the cousin of Heidi Davidson. When Heidi arrives to their vermont mansion to live with them after the tragic death of her parents, Marianna gives her a rather harsh greeting, telling her that she needs to leave this place. Her demeanor is rather cold to Heidi overall. After entering she heads to Uncle Jekyll's lab and reunites. When she mentions stories about a monster, he reacts angrily to her. Heidi finds a room that is torn to shreds, but Marianna claims it was the doing of George, their pet cat, who was put to sleep by Uncle Jekyll due to the damage he caused. That evening, at dinner, when Uncle Jekyll talks about how the Dr. Jekyll from the story was misunderstood, Marianna gets angry.

Not long into her stay, Heidi starts to see more things that makes her believe that Uncle Jekyll is really a monster. From him coming home late in rough shape, to damage caused in town that is blamed on him. She eventually finds a diary that confirms her suspicions that Uncle Jekyll is hiding the truth about a monster. When she sneaks into Uncle Jekyll's lab and sees him drinking a green liquid that makes him react in a monstrous fashion, she believes her suspicions to be true and tries to leave. However, Heidi soon runs into the monster, who tries to attack her. Eventually, Heidi is rescued by Uncle Jekyll as the monster transforms back into Marianna.

They reveal to Heidi that five years prior, Uncle Jekyll had car trouble and he and Marianna ended up stuck by a forest. When Marianna went off into the woods, she was attacked by a monster. The result of the attack caused Marianna to transform into a monster every night. That's why Uncle Jekyll was testing formulas on himself. Suddenly, the townspeople arrive, intent on killing Marianna and Uncle Jekyll. Heidi and Uncle Jekyll manage to make it out of town, but Heidi escapes, making it to the house of Aaron Friedus. Not too long after, Heidi reads the diary and learns that Marianna bit her while she was sleeping, passing the curse on.
