Marigirl isn't a consenting player like Dora or Angus, and she's not a friendly person who needs to be driven away so Faye can avoid human contact like Raven. Marigirl also clearly does not have Pennelope's relative strength and can be hurt easily.
Raven's theory, as presented to Pennelope, is that Faye just doesn't know any other way to interact with people. Faye should learn. She's got plenty of opportunity with her crowd.
What Faye is doing now is attacking the weak: in short, bullying.

I pretty much agree, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it bullying...yet. We know that Marigold more than likely isn't going to stand up for herself, but Faye may be assuming she will (after all, Marigold hangs out with Angus, right?)
I would say that Faye is a bully who justifies it as she's protecting herself from getting hurt. What she doesn't realize is that her actions may cause others to hurt like she herself did/does. If she does realize that, a defining moment in her character will show: she'll choose to continue, or look for another way to interact with people. (Hopefully, talking with Dr. Corrinne will help her with this all.)
douggerel:
Faye won't keep picking on Marigold; she hunts for sport, and Marigold is as sporting as an upside-down turtle. So maybe Faye will learn a little bit of restraint. Or Marigold will grow a little spine. But either way there will be hot girls in glasses!
Tuitsuro:
It's classic bullying, it's also Faye just plain not liking Marigold. But she's not actively seeking a confrontation with Marigold, either. This is Faye's turf, and Marigold made a choice to step on it, so she can't really complain about the harassment.
Is it cold in here?:
Was the bar Faye's turf, or should it be considered neutral territory?
Dora thought Faye was out of line there for jumping on Marigold about ordering a Mountain Dew.

Faye doesn't not like Marigold, she's just hard on people she doesn't know well. And besides, once you step inside Coffee of Doom, you are fair play for whatever wit or jabs that come at you, regardless of your standing with the barristas. Though I must agree with doug in that Mari does need a backbone.
I'm not gonna say I'd be against seeing Faye and Mari have a throw-down if Faye finds out Mari has a crush on Angus, though.
