It's currently unknown if she will ever speak or become a main character in future episodes/seasons.


She is one of the many minor characters in the series, but is one of the few minor characters that is named.
==Biography==
 
===Pre-Lakewood years===
She usually sits with [[Alan Powers|Brain]], [[Fern Walters|Fern]], and [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] in class and most likely hangs out with them, along with the other main characters, but is seen with [[Alex]] most of the time.
Maria was not seen in the [[:File:BSS80.png|kindergarten picture]] in "[[Brain's Shocking Secret]]," meaning that she came to Lakewood at a later year than the majority of her current classmates did.
 
===Second grade===
As a matter of fact she and Alex are most likely close friends as what has been seen throughout the episodes. She has a brother named [[Steve]] that is seen throughout the series, but unlike her, Steve has spoken before and is a fourth grader on top of that.
Maria was present at Lakewood Elementary in second grade,<ref>As seen in "[[Arthur's Eyes (episode)|Arthur's Eyes]]" (see [[:File:AE84.png]] for example)</ref> but was not in [[Mr. Marco]]'s class,<ref>"[[Arthur and the True Francine (episode)|Arthur and the True Francine]]" (see [[:File:Mr. Marco's Classroom Goof.png]])</ref> unlike most of her third grade classmates. Her most noteworthy event during this year was walking into the girls' bathroom when [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] had accidentally entered moments earlier.
===Third grade===
Maria was part of the screaming crowd when Arthur announced that they were going to be in [[Nigel Ratburn|Ratburn]]'s class. She, along with the other third graders, eventually got used to Ratburn and now likes being in his class.
===Future Life===
We get a brief glimpse into her future in "[[The Election]]" when she is seen in a crowd behind President Muffy, if this is actually a vision of the future.
==Personality==
===Quietness===
Maria is normally quiet in class, although not necessarily from shyness; she does often participate in class lessons. She is currently the only student in Mr. Ratburn's class to not have a solo speaking role. In the beginning of "[[Francine Goes to War]]," she says something that upsets Francine, although she said it before the scene opened. She also got a 'B' for her oral report in "[[Brain Gets Hooked]]."
===Interests===
Maria is a fan of the [[Scare-Your-Pants-Off Club Series]],<ref>"[[The Scare-Your-Pants-Off Club]]" - She is seen waiting in line (see [[:File:Friends 7.JPG]])</ref> the Finnish band [[Binky (band)|BINKY]],<ref>"[[Meet Binky]]" - She is in the audience (see [[:File:Meet binky - arthur running.jpg]])</ref> and several sports, for example basketball<ref>"[[The Wheel Deal]]"</ref> and soccer.<ref>"[[Arthur Weighs In]]"</ref>
===Club activities===
Despite never talking, Maria is a member of the Lakewood Elementary Choir.<ref>"[[Tipping the Scales]]"</ref> She also participates in the [[Lakewood Elementary Track and Field Team|Track and Field Team]]<ref name="theprideoflakewood">"[[The Pride of Lakewood]]"</ref> and was a member of the [[Lakewood Pride Committee]] during its short existence. She also often visits the [[Elwood City Community Center|community center]] and the [[Elwood City Public Library|library]].
==Friends==
===Alex===
[[File:Alex and Maria 1.JPG|thumb|Alex and Maria]]
Maria and [[Alex]] are the most recurring of the subtle characters. She and Alex are also friends and are often seen together in many episodes. These two are also the last characters in Mr. Ratburn's class that have not been focused on in the series.
===Buster===
Maria danced with [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] at Prunella's party in "Prunella Gets it Twice" and they talked at Jenna's party in "[[The Good Sport (episode)|The Good Sport]]".
===Fern===
She and [[Fern Walters|Fern]] got ice cream together in "[[Buster the Myth Maker]]."
===John===
Maria was seen talking with [[John]] in "[[Arthur's Eyes (episode)|Arthur's Eyes]]" and "[[Sue Ellen Moves In]]."
===Prunella===
[[Prunella Deegan|Prunella]] must know Maria somehow because she invited her as one of her six guests to her birthday party in "[[Prunella Gets it Twice]]."
==Appearance==
==Appearance==
Maria is a rabbit with a cream complexion. She wears a teal dress and a dark blue and pink striped shirt, along with brown shoes. In the summertime she wears a pink and light blue dress and the same brown shoes as always.

She has had two different types of formal clothes. In the episode [[Bugged]] she was seen wearing a white shirt, a blue dress, long white socks, and brown shoes. Her other outfit was worn in the ''[[Arthur's Perfect Christmas]]'' special, when she wore a green dress with some red on it, long red socks, and black Mary Jane shoes. In the same special she wore long blue jeans, a pink sweater, and blue sneakers.

In "[[Arthur's Eyes]]", she is briefly seen wearing glasses. This is either an animation error or she was originally supposed to wear glasses. It is even possible that she still does, but just wears contact lenses instead.
