[[File:ShadowGenerationsMariaBio.jpg|thumb|Maria's profile from ''[[Shadow Generations]]''.]]
While frail in appearance, Maria was strong in spirit.<ref name="SA2Guide" /> Eternally cheerful, optimistic and positive despite her condition, Maria could see the good in almost anyone or anything. She was likewise a very kind, loving<ref name="ESI" /> and generous<ref name="ESI" /> soul who always put others before herself, supported her friends, and held an unconditional love for the people of the world, even showing compassion towards her enemies when they were distressed. Because she never got to visit [[Earth]] after she was moved to the Space Colony ARK, Maria was very interested in the planet and wished to see it.<ref name="SA2Guide" /> She was as well very encouraging as she could make others accept themselves and calm others down when in stressful situations, including Shadow. She had unwavering faith in the people she trusted, as she strongly believed that Shadow and her grandfather would cure her illness.<ref>[[Gerald Robotnik's Journal]] entry #589.</ref>

Always gentle and thinking about others before herself, Maria was one who found it easier than most to forgive and forget, not to mention trust. Even after G.U.N. violently raided the ARK and shot her down, Maria did not hold any ill will against the people on earth and only wished for them to live happy lives. She was also utterly selfless as she sacrificed her life for Shadow's sake, having faith he would carry on her dreams for her.

Despite her youth and frailness, Maria was brave, determined, and had a strong sense of righteousness. When the [[Artificial Chaos]] were on a rampage, Maria wanted to stop them to save the innocent, and during the G.U.N.'s raid on the ARK she refused to leave the injured researchers behind. Even on her deathbed, Maria remained undeterred and only wished for Shadow to fulfill his purpose.

Maria may have a taste for the macabre or unconventionally cute, as shown by her enthusiasm and care for Shadow, despite his intimidating appearance and knowledge of his alien origins, as well as her comments on finding the [[Artificial Chaos]] "kind of cute" when they split apart.<ref>[[Sonic Team]] (15 November 2005).
