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

Jekyll and Heidi
Marianna is the twelve year old daughter of Dr.Palmer Jekyll and is the cousin of Heidi Davidson. When Heidi shows up to live with them after the death of her parents, Marianna gives her a rather harsh greeting, telling her that she needs to leave this place. After entering and meeting with Uncle Jekyll, Heidi finds a room that is torn to shreds, but Marianna claims it was the doing of their cat George, who Uncle Jekyll had to put to sleep for causing so much damage. At dinner, when Uncle Jekyll talks about how the Dr. Jekyll from the story was misunderstood, Marianna gets angry.

Heidi soon starts to see more things that makes her believe that Uncle Jekyll is 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 does know something about a monster. When she sneaks into Uncle Jekyll's lab and sees him drinking a green formula that makes him react monstrously, 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 turns back into Marianna.

They reveal to her that five years ago, Uncle Jekyll and Marianna had car trouble and were stuck by a forest. When Marianna went off into the woods, she would be attacked by some sort of monster. The result 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, heading to the home of Aaron Friedus and stays with him. However, Heidi soon learns through the diary that Marianna bit her, passing along the curse.
