Maria[1][2][3] is a third grader who attends Mr. Ratburn's class at Lakewood Elementary School.
Biography
Pre-Lakewood years
Maria is not in the class picture of Mrs. Robertson's kindergarten class from three years ago, meaning that she came to Lakewood at a later year than the majority of her current classmates did.[4]
Second grade
Maria was present at Lakewood Elementary in second grade,[5] but was not in Mr. Marco's class,[6] unlike most of her third grade classmates. Her most noteworthy event during this year was walking into the girls' bathroom when Arthur had accidentally entered moments earlier.[5]
Third grade
Maria was part of the screaming crowd when Arthur announced that they were going to be in Ratburn's class. She, along with the other third graders, eventually got used to Ratburn and now likes being in his class.
Future Life
In a possible glimpse into the future, an adult Maria is seen in the crowd behind President Mary Alice Crosswire at the new president's inauguration ceremony.[7] Maria wears a trench coat and holds a notepad, suggesting she will be a journalist. It is unknown if this is actually a glimpse of Maria's future.
Physical appearance
Maria is a rabbit with a cream complexion. She wears a light blue skirt and a dark blue and pink striped shirt, along with brown shoes. She has orange-brown hair in the form of a Bow cut.

Future self
In the fall, she wears a magenta jacket,[8] a magenta jacket with buttons,[9] or a blue jacket.[10]
In the winter, she wears a green-blue jacket, a pink scarf, pink mittens, purple leggings, and snow boots.[11] For cold weather, she sometimes instead wears a pink sweater, teal sweatpants, and green-blue sneakers.[11]
In the summertime she wears a pink T-shirt with light blue stripes and a white collar, a light blue dress, and her usual brown shoes.[12] For hot weather, she will also wear a light blue T-shirt and dark blue shorts.[13] She wore a light blue and pink swimsuit while swimming at Muffy's mansion.[12]
She has had two different types of formal clothes. One was a white shirt, a blue dress, long white socks, and brown shoes. She wore this outfit for a class picture, albeit in Brain's dream.[14] Her other outfit was worn at Muffy's Christmas party: a green dress with a red collar and red sash, long red socks, and black Mary Jane shoes.[11] At Prunella's birthday party, she wore a pink sweater with a dark blue collar and her usual light blue skirt.[15]
For sleeping, Maria wears pink pajamas.[16]
Her gym clothes are a light blue T-shirt, dark blue shorts, white socks, and red and white sneakers.[17] When she participates in track and field, she wears the new green and yellow uniform.[18] She also wore a karate uniform when learning karate at the community center.[19]
Her costume for the Thomas Edison play was a dark blue top hat, a burgundy coat, olive green trousers, a white collared shirt, and a magenta necktie.[20] Her costume for the Elwood City centennial play was a white long-sleeved shirt, a pink vest, jeans, dark blue sneakers, and a pink baseball cap.[21]
Maria wore a surgical mask, hairnet, and medical scrubs when she and the class were making ice cream.[22] She wore a surgical mask again in one of Francine's imagination sequences.[23]
One time when she was talking with John in the hallway, she was briefly seen wearing glasses.[5] 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.
At a presidential inauguration in the possible future, Maria wears a brown trench coat.[7]
Lookalikes
Maria has three lookalikes:
- 3rd Grade Female Bear (Number 2) - a Glenbrook Academy student.
- Unknown Female Rabbit (Number 2) - a recolored version of Maria used as an extra character.
- Last Year's Maria - one of Binky's former classmates, only seen in a flashback of a field trip last year.[16]
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. She once said something that upset Francine, although exactly what she said is unknown.[24] For one oral history report she had given, the grade she received was a 'B'.[25]
Interests
Maria is a fan of the Scare-Your-Pants-Off Club Series,[26] the Finnish band BINKY,[27] and several sports, for example basketball[28] and soccer.[29]
