In general, Mark is a chipper, carefree, and smart young man. While he is reserved and shy around most authority figures and strangers, once you get close to him, he never shuts up. He tends to put loved ones first and always considers them whenever making any major decisions.

Mark is motivated by his family. He won't do anything that will result in harm for them.

Mark is an overly emotional person. If you've wronged or upset him in any way, he won't hesitate to let you know about it. He also has the tendency to not think before talking, which does get him into trouble frequently. He also has severe trust issues, so it might take him a while to warm up to a person.

Mark is a talented artist and singer, despite how much he doesn't want to admit it. Before his abduction, he was quite active in his high school choir and art club.

In his spare time, he likes to draw, listen to music, and play video games (his favorite game is Stardew Valley).
