Description
Maria Hōjō is the mother of Hibiki Hōjō and wife of Dan Hōjō. A world-renowned violinist, her career demands frequent international travel, especially to France, where she has become fluent in the language. These extensive tours result in prolonged absences from home, limiting her physical presence in Hibiki's daily life, though she sustains regular contact with her family through video calls.
She possesses dark orange-brown hair styled with parted bangs, some swept to the side, and small blue eyes. Her typical attire balances practicality and elegance, featuring subtle lipstick, a purple dress layered over a lilac shirt, denim leggings, and ivory cowboy boots.
Maria exhibits a warm, spontaneous personality free from celebrity airs. She openly expresses affection for her family and eagerly attempts domestic activities during her infrequent visits, though her lack of cooking proficiency often leads to kitchen mishaps. Perceptive of Hibiki's emotional struggles, she recognizes her daughter uses outward strength to mask loneliness stemming from maternal absence. During her time at home, Maria actively reassures Hibiki of her unwavering love, emphasizing that physical separation does not diminish her maternal devotion.
Her influence extends beyond emotional support. Professionally, she demonstrates the ability to counteract negative forces through music, such as neutralizing the Melody of Sorrow with her violin. This musical legacy indirectly impacts Hibiki's journey, as Hibiki eventually reconnects with her own musical roots despite initial resistance. Maria also facilitates opportunities for her daughter, notably arranging for Hibiki and her friend Kanade to host a television program.
While primarily referenced in the main series, her background remains consistent across media: a dedicated artist balancing career demands with familial love, striving to bridge emotional gaps despite geographical constraints. Her character underscores themes of parental absence and enduring family bonds within the narrative framework.
