Mariposa eventually ran away from Beacon, and from home, after being unable to deal with the loss of both her older brother, as well as one of her teammates during the events of the Battle of Beacon. Her attitude is worn down by grief and depression, and she develops a more sensitive outlook on life - seeing bloodshed as unnecessary and horrific. While on the road, she meets a man, and after a series of unlikely events, begins to accompany him on his journey/duty, and they eventually, complicatedly, fell in love. tl;dr: Marie got a new OP boyfriend and currently gets to travel around Remnant.
