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

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 cast has allowed her substantially more screen time than most background students.

Maria is among the few recurring extra students to receive a name. This happened in "MacFrensky", an episode from season 13 (see name section for more detail).

In the transition from traditional to Flash animation for season 16, Maria received a Flash model. Even though the animation studio had expanded its resource of background character Flash models by season 18, she has continued to appear at the same frequency. This leads up to season 19, wherein Maria was featured in the episode "Maria Speaks".

Biography

Life before Lakewood

Maria is not in the class picture of Mrs. Robertson's kindergarten class from three years ago. This means she came to Lakewood in a later year than the majority of her current classmates did. "Brain's Shocking Secret"

Character development

Design

• 

  Arthur's Eyes (1979)

• 

  Arthur's Tooth (1985)

• 

  Arthur's Teacher Trouble (1986)

• 

  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 Marc Brown's 1986 book Arthur's Teacher Trouble. Though a character similar to 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 was the final student in Mr. Ratburn's class to 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. "That's a Baby Show!" "Based on a True Story" Other times, she has spoken in unison the same words that other people did. While the words are clear, her own voice is not. "Francine Frensky, Superstar" "Tipping the Scales"

As a featured character

Main article: Maria Speaks

The 2013 New York Comic Con Arthur 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." The episode's title, "Maria Speaks", was revealed on KET's episode list on May 2, 2015.

"Maria Speaks" premiered on May 5, 2015, on the Korean educational TV channel EBS.

Depiction in other media

Maria in 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. 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.
