Not EVERYTHING... well beyond whatever Mary/Marie does on her Stroll. the 1980s My Little Pony and Gulliver's Travels steps were originally canon.
I picture Mary/Marie herself as one of those typical California Girls as far as appearance goes. She awoke her Gift to something less destructive than "Light my Fire" .... say, Frank Zappa's "Valley Girl," and immediately began to search out those of the crystal waving set who were more than delusional.
For what it's worth, if her powers worked exactly the same as Doug's, "Valley Girl" would summon a simulacra of her High School "BFF" in the latest teenager trendy outfit as appropriate for the setting. I'm seeing Mary as being actually able to cast "properly" using appropriate music as a power boost. Frex, she could cast a proper scrying spell while playing the definitive "Lightning's Hand" recording to make a computer monitor into a scrying surface. On the other hand, Mary lacks the Chaos defenses Doug has, making her a bit "crunchier."
