{{Quote left|G.U.N., the [[Guardian Units of Nations]] wanted to erase all evidence of the [[Project Shadow|whole thing]]. They sealed Shadow away and silenced anyone who knew about him - including Maria.

Maria and her cousin Ivo, later known as [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]], never knew each other. However, he appears to resent her for people thinking better of her and ignoring him, thus hurting his ego. During the [[Starfall Islands]] [[Sonic Frontiers|incident]], the doctor created the A.I. [[Sage]], eventually coming to consider himself her father. At one point during the incident, he wondered if Sage was anything like how Maria was.<ref name="EggMemoMaria" /> He also admitted when recounting the events of Shadow's encapsulation that, regardless of his personal views on Maria, he nevertheless took the circumstances behind her death personally.
