As Skyler's sister, it is perhaps no surprise that radiologic technologist Marie Schrader was an abrasive personality. A highly neurotic character, Marie's various quirks - such as an obsession with the colour purple, sporadic bouts of kleptomania, and perpetual fretting - certainly made her unique. However, they didn't exactly endear her to an audience. Marie's rather annoying traits were apparent right from the beginning of the series. She was overbearing when Walter initially received his cancer diagnosis, jumped to the conclusion that Walter White Jr. had become a pot head, and flat out denied that her kleptomania had reemerged. However, this is nothing when compared to her later behaviour, where she had but two functions: screaming and wailing or sprouting off outrageous lines, like when she tells Walter that he should kill himself.
