| One time in second grade when she was talking with [[John]] in the hallway, Maria was wearing glasses.{{Ep|Arthur's Eyes|E=true}} She wore her glasses through the first days of third grade, but stopped wearing them after that year's [[Spellathon]].{{ep|bk=true|Arthur's Teacher Trouble|b=true}} It is implied that now she wears contact lenses instead.

| ===Nose===
| |
| Maria's nose is normally a "Y"-shaped nose typical of rabbits. [[Maria/Gallery#Animation errors|On several occasions]], however, her nose has appeared like an aardvark's nose.{{Ep|Stolen Bike}}{{Ep|Arthur's Dummy Disaster}}{{Ep|Fifteen}} Other times, she has had a bear's nose{{Ep|Bitzi's Beau}} or a cat's nose.{{Ep|Tipping the Scales}}

| Though a female rabbit character with a similar haircut had previously appeared in ''[[Arthur's Eyes (book)|Arthur's Eyes]]'' (1979), ''[[Arthur's Valentine]]'' (1980), and ''[[Arthur's Tooth (book)|Arthur's Tooth]]'' (1985), Maria's design for the cartoon was mainly taken from ''Arthur's Teacher Trouble''. However, she appeared twice in ''Arthur's Teacher Trouble'', with her second appearance being the most like her current design.
| |
| | |
| In ''Arthur's Teacher Trouble'', Maria had glasses. This was carried over to [[:File:AE83.png|one brief scene]] in the episode "{{E|Arthur's Eyes}}". However, she did not have the glasses in [[Robert Waldren]]'s [[:File:Posing-layout-1995-arthur-school-hall1.jpg|original layout]] of the scene.<ref>Waldren, Robert (November 29, 2010).

| ===Minor speaking roles===
| |
| Maria is the final student in Mr. Ratburn's class not to have a solo speaking role in the TV series.
| |
| | |
| On several occasions, she had spoken when everyone was talking at once, therefore making her words indistinct.{{Ep|Buster's Dino Dilemma|e=true}}{{Ep|The Squirrels}} Because she is usually in the background, she is often too far away to be heard over the main characters' dialogue.{{Ep|That's a Baby Show!}}{{Ep|Based on a True Story}} Other times, she has spoken in unison with other people. While the words are clear, the sound of her voice is not.{{Ep|Francine Frensky, Superstar}}{{Ep|Tipping the Scales}}

| [[File:LB Maria.png|right|thumb|75px|Maria in ''[[Arthur's Teacher Trouble (game)|Arthur's Teacher Trouble]]'']]
| |
| | |
| In the [[Living Books]] computer games that are based on the books, Maria had a light yellow complexion and brown hair in ''[[Arthur's Teacher Trouble (game)|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 [[Arthur puzzles (Fortune East Group)#Arthur's Eyes|puzzle]] produced by [[Fortune East Group]] depicts Maria with a white complexion and blonde hair.
