Maria

:This is about the cousin of Mario. For the cousin of Dr. Eggman, see Maria Robotnik. For the evil genderswapped versions of Mario and Luigi, see Maria and Luigia.
Maria is a cousin of Mario and Luigi, and the older twin sister of Luise. She made her first appearance in New Super Mario Bros. Omega.
==Personality==
Maria has as much courage as her brother Mario. She has a lot of interest in things such as dresses and rings. She dislikes Wario and Bowser because they're mean to everyone and don't care about others. Wario dislikes her for being too "girly". She also may have a relationship with the gender-swap version of Peach named Prince Pearce Toadstool.
Maria really cares for her sister Luise. Her favorite Power-Up item is the Thunder Flower.
==Physical Appearance==
Maria has a lot of the same physical features of both Mario and Princess Peach. She is the same height as Mario and even wears the same cap as him. However the "M" on her hat has lines curling up out of the ends of the "M". She also wears overalls and a red shirt. Her overalls are purple and have a skirt coming out of them, and she wears brown boots. Her face is long and narrow and she has long brown hair that is the same shade as Mario's, with large blue eyes.

==Trivia==
*In the events of Super Paper Mario, a minion of Count Bleck (O'Chunks) calls Mario "Maria". But this was before the events of her first appearance so it must have been a coincidence.
*Strangely, her sprite in Let's-a-go, Mario gives her no dress, except in the beta.
* "Maria" is the feminine form of "Mario".
