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"

Second grade

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. Sometime during this year, she walked into the girls' bathroom when Arthur had accidentally entered moments before. "Arthur's Eyes"

Third grade

Character development

Design

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 female rabbit character with a similar haircut had previously appeared in Arthur's Eyes (1979), Arthur's Valentine (1980), and Arthur's Tooth (1985), Maria's design for the cartoon was mainly taken from a page of 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 the 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'. On the "Mr. Ratburn's Class" lineup model sheet from 1996, she is labelled "#2 Maria". Maria is likely named after her designer or someone who worked at Cinar at the time. The purpose of naming background characters was for the storyboard artists' convenience.

Her name was originally revealed to the audience in the season 13 episode, "MacFrensky", in which the name 'Maria' 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, Peter K. Hirsch officially announced Alex and Maria's names.

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. "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 with other people. While the words are clear, the sound of her voice is not. "Francine Frensky, Superstar" "Tipping the Scales"

Some language dubs of Arthur have made changes not present in the original (English) version. In the Hebrew dub of "Buster Makes the Grade", Maria says "ow!" when the crumpled paper ball hits her head. In the original version, she remains silent.

As a featured character

:Main article: Maria Speaks At New York Comic Con in October 2013, Peter K. Hirsch mentioned Alex and Maria by name. When the ARTHUR Facebook page shared Hirsch's comment, it also added that "we may hear from them 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.

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.
