Mark Smith

"Smell you later, Weird-o."

- Mark Smith

Marcus Santiago Jr. "Mark" Smith is a high school student, Rochelle's crush and classmate, Sid's second best friend, and Carlos' third best friend and classmate. He is a supporting character from Toby and Rochelle: 9th Grade Ninja Twins, and the main protagonist of its spin-off, The Casagrandes. He also happens to be the younger sister of Lori's boyfriend Bobby.

Early Life
Mark was born and raised with his parents in New York City, Michigan. He is attended New York Elementary School.

As seen in "Regular Show: The Movie", Toby first became friends with Howard after finding him funny in Kindergarten. Despite this, in "Don" he seemed to favor Howard's younger sister, Delilah, spending lots of time with her and leaving Howard in his shadow.

As shown in "Maxin' and Relaxin'", he went through a lot of embarrassing moments, such as falling from a high height on stage during a play, and getting a saxophone mouthpiece stuck in his throat. Thanks to his mom however, he managed to survive these situations.

Heavy Bullier
He was first mentioned (but does not appear onscreen) in the episode "Heavy Bullier", in which he constantly bullies Rochelle and humiliates her in front of her peers. When Rochelle's sisters find out about it, they tell her that he's bullying her because he likes her and wants to get her attention. Thinking they might be right, Rochelle goes and kisses him when she tries to confront him, and he responds by giving her a black eye, seemingly proving her sisters wrong.

However, the sisters' statement turns out to be right after all, as he then gives Rochelle an apology letter with his phone number on it, and a steak to heal her eye with.

Extreme Best First Date
He makes his first on-screen appearance in "Extreme Best First Date". In this episode, Rochelle's former classmates tease her about Mark's crush on him, resulting in her giving a speech about how she refuses to even consider him as her boyfriend. Unfortunately, he hears her saying this and was truly hurt by her words. To set things right, her twin brother Toby makes Rochelle go out with Mark on a double date with him and her best friend Karen so she can apologize in person.

Throughout the date, Rochelle gradually finds herself bonding with him, but things get awkward when her teasing classmates show up at the restaurant, and Rochelle, after a failed attempt to sneak out without them noticing, ends up insulting him again. Rochelle promptly apologizes to Mark for her behavior and shares her first real kiss with him.

The next day, when Rochelle is still being teased by her classmates about this, he slaps her in the face and acts as though he doesn't like her, but once her classmates had left the scene with sympathy for Rochelle, he passes her an ice pack with an apology letter, saying he hopes that stopped the teasing, meaning their break up was fake.

Fair Enough to Remember
In "Fair Enough to Remember", his best friend Carlos becomes close friends with Rochelle and begins to spend more time with her than he does with Mark, making him jealous. To get back at him, he starts hanging out with Karen. The four of them went out as friends together and no matter how much he tried, Carlos remained unaware that he was trying to make him jealous. Eventually Rochelle had to break off their friendship to bring them together. Carlos was hurt by this, but Rochelle said they could still be friends if they didn't hang out as much as they used to.

Selfie Improvable
During Rochelle's attempts to her one-up rival Poppy Owens in "Selfie Improvable", Mark calls Rochelle to try to get her support for something he is about to undergo. But Rochelle is so caught up in blind determination that she almost ignores him, although she does call him to invite him to a picnic for a selfie. Later, after Rochelle has arrived at the picnic area, Mark drives over to see her, revealing that he has had his wisdom teeth taken out. Astonished that Mark would drive to see her while still groggy from anesthesia, Rochelle apologizes to him for being selfish and decides to make the most of the time she has with him.

Apartment of Despair
In "Apartment of Despair", Rochelle are visiting Mark's extended family in the home town apartment. Lori, and later Mark's aunt Parineeti, insists on referring to Mark as Rochelle's "boyfriend," which the two vehemently decline. Despite their trip is two days long before home, Rochelle sneaks into her house and spent the night at their apartment without noticing.

Upon arriving at the city, Mark is initially unenthusiastic about the trip, but when Rochelle reveals that she's moving to the Casagrande Apartment after her bedroom is flooded over her house, he is very shocked and almost convince her that she's not going to move out of her house. Mark and Toby brainstorm a way to keep them from moving, including a Dream Boat-styled dinghy date, and one involving one of Rosa's love potions. Later afternoon during noticing Mark's frustration, she forgot that accidentally creates a black hole that sucks in everything from his room and tries to cheer him up by making a small sun over his head, but it turns into a rain cloud. Fed up, Mark decides that if Rochelle's moving in, he is moving out. Climbing out the window and falling into a bed of cacti, Mark walks off in anger.

That night, both of them with Lana rush down to the basement to find the leak and both began arguing about their living arrangement. They are attacked by river lampreys that try to drag them under. Using their work technique from earlier, they defeat the lampreys who burrow a hole and drain the basement. Hop Pop comes down to tell the two that despite it not working out, they are better friends now for being honest with one another.

When Mark is about to leave, Rochelle admits that she likes him. She explains how she didn't want to reveal the secret because it would hurt the family and friends. He shares his first hug with Rochelle, saying he'll miss her.

Personality
Mark's first appearances initially depicted him as a very surly, tough and mean-spirited boy who sometimes came off as unkind and somewhat cruel, though later appearances - mostly following the episode "Friended!" - depict him as a nice, good-hearted, and well-meaning person who is kind to everyone and has a knack for planning, just like Rochelle, his first crush, whom he deeply cares for and loves to crack up jokes and is generally more optimistic than his siblings and cousins; in Los Angeles, California, Mark has made another best friends in Sid Yang and Carlos, and "An Udder Mess" shows he doesn't want to disappoint his two best friends, wanting the best for them. In addition to Carlos and Sid, his closest friends, he has also befriended a group of city teenagers by the events of "City Slickers", along with Laird following "The Two of Clubs".
