===Background===
Maria made her debut as the nurse who took care of the injured players during the B-1 Crash Cup. A woman of gentle nature, kindred soul and graceful beauty; Jou Fukairi fell deeply in love with her and called her his Destiny.
===Crash B-Daman===
Jou decided to be with her for a while until Episode 42 in which Jou reunited with Hittou and friends. Jou deemed that meeting as his last tournament participation because he will be retiring in order to live with Maria. Jou even asked Hittou if he can have the marble inside their target wedding cake so that he can give it as a ring to propose to Maria. Hittou wins the battle and sadly, Jou was unable to get any of the gold marbles at that time.
While Jou is fighting against Hittou, Maria sits beside Nana in the audience area. Later on, the two ladies parted ways. Maria went to the kitchen to get a drink. Therein, she witnessed DJ Baku being ordered by Sabu Nishijima and the Scorpion Unit to sabotage the tournament using the newlywed's wedding cake laced with traps.
When the newlywed couple was about to shoot their wedding cake, Maria appears and stops them. She warns them about the traps inside the cake but the chairman of the JBA orders her arrested and the bride mistakes her for a thief. Maria then confesses to Jou that she had started taking an interest in B-Daman. Jou and his friends comes to her aid by believing in her and driving the wedding cake out of the venue even at the expense of being mistaken as thieves as well.
Once the cake was driven out of the venue, Hittou made a bet with the newlywed couple that the cake would indeed explode. Jou decided that he will be the one to shoot the cake but Maria told him that they will shoot together. Jou and Maria accepted it as their fate and they held hands as they pulled the trigger. The cake explodes into a myriad of fireworks.
Later on, the bride apologizes to Maria whom she called as the Gem Thief as she didn't knew her name. The bride presents her with a pink gem as a gift for her and Jou whom the bride saw as a perfect couple. However, Maria rejects the gem and instead takes the golden marble that she found lying in the floor. Maria tells the bride that she and Jou are already satisfied with the marble because it is a "wedding ring" fit for a pair of B-Ders, implying to everyone that they got married at that moment well.
Jou reiterates that he's retiring from playing B-Daman but Maria urged him to continue much to his surprise. Maria understood how much Jou loves B-Daman and so she tells him that she will be playing B-Daman with him next time. After receiving the JBA Chairman's blessing, Maria asks Hittou if he can teach her how to play B-Daman knowing that Hittou is much better than Jou.
