"The shameless and utterly gratuitous amounts of Marcie-bashing causes me to suspect that Marcie is based on someone that Fitzpatrick knows and loathes in real life."
I strongly suspect she is. On Fitzpatrick's website, she says how she was tormented by "Mini-mean girls" in kindergarten, and how she and her sister would make up stories about locking said girls in a bus and driving the bus off a cliff. She described that as her earliest time with writing stories.
