Maria Sesu

Maria Sesu is an enthusiastic and passionate girl who is a classmate of Ollie and a supporting character of Tales of a Ditzy Doodle.

## Appearance

Maria is a yellow-outlined girl with thin, stick-like limbs, a white round face, and rather messy, shoulder-length reddish-brown hair. Her main attire consists of a pink flower pin and light yellow shirt with a red heart imprinted on it.

## Personality

Maria is often seen as a very outgoing and social person who enjoys spending time with her peers, even much so than with herself. She makes a fairly enjoyable friend due to her often friendly, welcoming, and open-minded nature and loves trying out new things. However, she tends to act before thinking and is willing to do anything to keep her things at bay, friendships in particular, which may lead to unforeseen consequences.

Although she has a variety of hobbies, Maria is seemingly the most fascinated in the performing arts. Since kindergarten, she loved to sing and dance in her spare time, and soon gained an interest in opera and plays, especially musicals. In fact, her love and ability to sing played as one of the many factors for bonding with her best friend Quill, who is an expert at handwriting.

## History

### Pre-series

On the 2nd of November, Maria was born in Jayward City as the second child of Mr. and Mrs. Sesu. She attended and was a fairly decent student with okay grades and a large social circle. However, debt soon catches up to her family and thus forces them to move outside of their once modern homes, aka Doodleville. It took a while for her to get used to her new surroundings, but eventually she made multiple new friends. Her most notable friend is Quill, which she first met in 2nd grade. A few months after moving in, her older brother Oscar graduated college and soon moved out.

### Season 1

Maria makes her debut in the first half of the series' second episode, *A "Lovely" Picnic*. She often hangs out with Quill and occasionally invites most, if not all of her classmates on various adventures, parties, and other fun events. However, these activities usually result in some sort of chaos or disaster, albeit resolved quite quickly in most episodes.

### Season 2

In *Grunged,* she tries to befriend Shadie and understand the reasoning behind her behavior. At the end of the episode, they soon form a bond which slowly grows as the series progresses.

In *Bro Back in Town*, her brother Oscar returns to Doodleville to revisit her and their family.

### Season 4

In *Welcome Home,* like many of the other characters, Maria appears older with a more mature voice. She also claims to be dating Shadie.

## Notable Relationships

### Family

**Mr. and Mrs. Sesu:** Maria's biological parents. Being rather minor characters and rarely even having a single mention of their first names, Maria has a seemingly average relationship with them.

**Oscar Sesu:** Maria's older brother. She almost always gets jealous of her brother's talented and courageous spirit, often coming up with various tactics to prove her better, which usually result in chaos.

### Friends/Allies

**Quill Carrier:** Maria's closest friend since 2nd grade. Even though they don't have much of a closer bond than in the past due to their seemingly opposite personalities, they still get along pretty well.

**Shadie Mairlad:** Maria has grown a small fascination in Shadie's background ever since she started her "emo phase." However, their actual relationship never really took off until the quicksand accident in *Grunged.* From that day on, their bond slowly grew, even turning into a rather romantic one.

**Ollie Milonns:** Due to their similar personalities and ability to easily pick up friends, they get along really easily whenever they have time with one another. Maria also seems to ship him and Quill.

### Enemies

**Terra Jonnes:** Maria seems to have a underlying hatred and rivalry towards her, most likely due to her arrogant demeanor, as well as often picking on other students for not matching to her level in both social status and appearances.

**Bobby Rutheest:** Similar to Terra, Maria is often annoyed by Bobby for how he often brags about his strengths and bullying those he believes to be inferior to him.

## Trivia

* Maria was planned to be fully Asian of some sort, most likely Vietnamese. However, it was soon decided to keep their races anonymous, most likely to avoid controversy over possible stereotypical inaccuracy.
