Marie-Frédérique, whom Wayne and the Hicks call Marie-Fred for short, is a recurring character on Letterkenny in seasons 5 and 6. She is portrayed by Magalie Lépine-Blondeau.

Biography

Wayne traveled to Quebec for Anik's "boch et biche" party, along with a large contingent of Letterkenny townsfolk, to help defend it against degens from Laval. The old French man selling tickets at the door told Wayne he wanted to introduce his niece to him, as she had been unlucky in love; when Marie-Fred arrived later in the evening, she and Wayne fall in love at first sight (Bock et Biche).

They began a long-distance relationship, taking turns to drive to each other on the weekends, which landed Wayne in scraps with locals and landed Marie-Fred a number of speeding tickets. They also suffer indignities owing to prejudices the English Canadians have against the French and vice versa (What Could Be So Urgent?). Around the same time, Anik and Daryl begin dating, and she and Anik become frequent visitors to town, spending time with their sweethearts at the farm and working out together at the gym.

Anik eventually breaks up with Daryl. Wayne, meanwhile, is busy making financial arrangements—to buy a ring (Yew!).

In the final episode of Season 7, Daryl goes to Quebec to try to convince Anik to get back together despite her having cheated on him. Realizing he is likely to 'get his ass kicked', Wayne, Dan, McMurray, Boots and the Ginger go to back him up. In the ensuing donnybrook, Wayne throws one of the Quebecois through a door to reveal Marie-Fred kissing another man. She leaves as Wayne beats the man to a pulp.

Marie-Fred called Wayne several times during Season 8, but he adamantly refuses to answer his phone, following his mantra "Once he (or she) cheats, it's over- no exceptions." In "The Rippers'' he goes to a strip club with his American cousin, which he was originally scheduled to go to for his bachelor party before marrying Marie-Fred.

In "Day Beers Day" Marie-Fred tries to call Wayne again, but he has renewed his longtime relationship with Rosie. Marie-Fred visits Wayne briefly to apologize- and also to warn him, about a party in Montreal that she attended. Katy's current boyfriend, Dierks, happened to be at the same club for another party; although showing people pictures of Katie and bragging about his girlfriend's 'hotness', he apparently arrived at and left the party with multiple girls- indicating he's cheating on Katie. She acknowledges that it has been a 'tough go' and asks Wayne if it's getting any easier- just as Rosie wanders by in the background. Wayne responds to both questions with a dry "Yep."

Wayne

Marie-Fred first meets Wayne at Anik's "bock et biche"; when he sees her at the entrance, it is love at first sight (Bock et Biche). Despite the long distance, they carry on an active romance, becoming quite close.

Overall, Marie-Fred and Wayne appear to be very compatible, sharing a similar outlook on life and similar senses of humour. Marie-Fred gets along well with the other Hicks, and though she endures some indignities from some other locals when visiting, she is welcomed warmly by others, and happily takes part in local traditions like Century Club (Different Strokes for Different Folks). They also enjoy an enviable sex life (Bush Party Season). Although she is not yet aware, Wayne plans to propose to her (Yew!).

It is revealed in the Season 7 finale that she is cheating on Wayne.

Anik

Marie-Fred has presumably been friends with Anik for some time, as Anik was engaged to her brother Jean-Claude. They remain friends after Anik breaks up with Jean-Claude, who is never mentioned in their subsequent conversations, and they make trips to Letterkenny together after Anik begins dating Daryl. In Letterkenny, they spend time together at the farm and working out together at the gym, where they have very frank conversations about their sex lives (Bush Party Season).

Jean-Claude

Jean-Claude is protective of his sister Marie-Fred, but their relationship is complicated when Anik breaks up with him and Marie-Fred begins dating Wayne. Jean-Claude dislikes the English in general—disallowing Anik from inviting her English family to their later-canceled wedding—and is suspicious and resentful of Wayne (Bock et Biche). He and his cousin Jean-Lance try to undermine Wayne, for example, by accosting the couple at a restaurant and mocking his French pronunciation (What Could Be So Urgent?). Marie-Fred is impatient with this behaviour, but does nothing to stop it besides saying "Jean-Claude" in a scolding voice.
