Maria is a third grader who attends Mr. Ratburn's class at Lakewood Elementary School.

Maria is presented as a shy girl with average school grades and a large circle of friends. She likes some traditional "girly" things, such as dolls, but she also likes superheroes, sports, and toy trucks.

Introduced as a background character in the first episode, Maria has made consistent subsequent appearances throughout the television series. Her place in Mr. Ratburn's class alongside the main characters has allowed her substantially more screen-time than most background students around Lakewood. The only other character to have so much focus and yet not be a major character is Alex, who is also in Mr. Ratburn's class and is often seen with Maria.

Maria was among the first of the background characters to receive a name available to the audience. This happened in a season 13 episode, "MacFrensky" (see name section, below, for more detail). As the years progressed, Maria's role in the series continued to increase, becoming especially noticeable by the start of the 9 Story era. Maria is currently planned to be "featured in her very own episode" in the upcoming nineteenth season.

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. "Brain's Shocking Secret"

Maria was present at Lakewood Elementary in second grade, "Arthur's Eyes" but was not in Mr. Marco's class, "Arthur and the True Francine" unlike most of her third grade classmates.

Glasses

Maria wearing glasses

One time in second grade when she was talking with John in the hallway, Maria was wearing glasses.

Character development

Design

• 

  Maria in Arthur's Eyes (1979)

• 

  Maria in Arthur's Tooth (1985)

• 

  Maria in Arthur's Teacher Trouble (1986)

• 

  Maria in Arthur's Teacher Trouble (1986)

Maria and Alex were created to keep the classroom from looking too empty. Both Maria and Steve were designed based on background characters from the 1986 book Arthur's Teacher Trouble. Though Maria had previously appeared in the 1979 book Arthur's Eyes and the 1985 book Arthur's Tooth, her design for the cartoon was mainly taken from her appearance in Arthur's Teacher Trouble.

In Arthur's Teacher Trouble, Maria had glasses. This was carried over to one brief scene in the episode "Arthur's Eyes". However, she did not have the glasses in Robert Waldren's original layout of the scene. Additionally, in the original layout Maria had an aardvark nose, instead of a rabbit nose. Although this was kept in the final version of the scene, it was not permanent for her design; she has a rabbit nose in almost all later appearances.

Name

Maria's name, as it appeared in "MacFrensky"

The name 'Maria' was decided prior to the show's premiere, as were many other characters. The purpose of naming background characters was for the storyboard artists to have names to use. On the "Mr. Ratburn's Class" lineup model sheet, she is labelled "#2 Maria". Maria is likely named after her designer or someone who worked at Cinar at the time.

Her name was first revealed to the audience in the season 13 episode, "MacFrensky", in which her name is visible on the student-of-the-month chart.

Besides the in-series revelation, the ARTHUR crew confirmed the name on several occasions. Replying to a direct question from a fan, the official ARTHUR Facebook page posted in 2012: "That's Maria. She's in my class at Lakewood Elementary." At the Q&A session of the 2013 New York Comic Con panel, the ARTHUR crew officially announced Alex's and Maria's names.

Speaking roles

Maria is currently the only student in Mr. Ratburn's class to not have a solo speaking role in the TV series.

On several occasions, she has spoken when everyone is talking at once, therefore making her words indistinct. "Buster's Dino Dilemma" "The Squirrels" Because she is usually in the background, she is often too far away to be heard over the main characters' dialogue. "Based on a True Story" Other times, she has spoken the same words that other people did, in unison with them. While the words are clear, her own voice is not. "Francine Frensky, Superstar" "Tipping the Scales"

As a featured character

The 2013 New York Comic Con panel reported that "we may hear from [Alex and Maria] in the future". On May 9, 2014, the ARTHUR Twitter page plainly declared, "Maria will be featured in her very own episode in Season 19."

Depiction in other media

Maria in Arthur's Teacher Trouble

In the Living Books computer games that are based upon the books, Maria had a light yellow complexion and brown hair in Arthur's Teacher Trouble. When the player clicks on the poster behind her, the drawing comes to life and looks between Maria's ears. Clicking on Maria herself makes her say, "I thought I'd win," which is her only distinct speaking line to date. It is unknown exactly who voiced her, since the voice actors for minor characters were listed together with no distinction.

A puzzle produced by Fortune East Group depicts Maria with a white complexion and blonde hair.
