Maria is a sorceress of the Light Tribe, identified as King Fabris's daughter. Her biological parentage potentially links to Pollux Sr. and Maria Sr., though not definitively established across all sources. She possesses distinctive black hair (depicted as dark blue in animation), green eyes, and fair skin. Her appearance evolves over time; twenty years later, her hair becomes wavy. She typically wears a cape, an ankle-length white dress, and golden head jewelry.

Captured by Shadow Tribe warriors, Maria faced imprisonment and potential torture by Stallion. During captivity, Astral (also known as Pollux) sexually assaulted her. This trauma catalyzed her accessing her magical ring, unleashing an unpredictable power spell against him. The spell propelled Astral twenty years into the future to the surface world.

Her sorceress abilities center on this magic ring, a key artifact of significant heritage. Originally belonging to Maria Sr., the ring passed to Maria and later to her daughter, Mew. Maria is Mew's biological mother, with complex familial connections to Fabris, Pollux Sr., Maria Sr., and Astral/Pollux – the latter identified as her possible brother in certain contexts. Following her ordeal and Astral's violent actions against Fabris, Maria focused efforts on freeing fellow Light Tribe prisoners. Over two decades, she transitioned from traumatized captive to a figure wielding significant magical influence, fulfilling her role in the ring's intergenerational passage to Mew.
