## Bio

### Personality

Maria is a serious and mature girl who has a kind and genital heart despite being scary when she's mad and her powerful punches. Like her brother she had a soft side for humans and truly believed that a roidmudes true purpose is to protect those who threaten humanity while as the secret star she is shown to never smile but look very sad possible due to her brother becoming Machin Chaser and her body being destroyed by the Global Freeze.

### Background

Protozero and Maria were created by Krim Steinbelt, Krim first created her in hopes of showing roidmudes the means of love, friendship, and family but Banno only saw Genetic roidmudes as useless weakling in which Banno had poison Maria as an infant by adding a chemical that could cause her to feel ill and her body destroyed by the Heavy Acceleration. But when the 108 roidmudes created by Banno were awaken Protozero was then reactivated by Krim to fight the roidmudes as Protodrive to protect humans from those who threaten humanity as she got older Protozero later on grew very protective of her. Later on, she got into Aikatsu Henshi Planet and thus created Star Chaser but during her idol career the Slowdown made contact with the chemical that was injected in her body which caused her to grow ill and was force to quite her career until she got better which caused her brother to worry about her health but then things got worse when during the Global Freeze her body was destroyed by the Slowdown that the chemical got in contact with in front of her brother eyes in which her core became a viral core which Protodrive promised her that he and Krim would find a way to revive her body. After the Global Freeze when Heart who had evolved then challenges Protodrive who refuses which Heart assumes he was too cowardly to fight him in his new form unaware that Protodrive had a genetic roidmude sister who is now a viral core then fights Protodrive and defeats Protozero and was stripped away from the Drive Driver while holding Maria's viral core close. After her brother is stripped of his memories and brainwashed in the process and thus given a new name Chase who later becomes the Grim Reaper Machin Chaser, Maria's viral core would act as a messenger from the secret star that gives the roidmudes and Kamen Riders access to meet the secret star (via dream). After Chase is freed from his brainwashing and returned to his heroic self and thus regained his memories, he would then call her by her real name Maria and Chase would later promise her that he would continue to protect humans and her and find a way to revive her.

## Relationships

* Chase Reino/Protozero

Maria's older brother. Although he is very protective of her during his days as Protozero even as Chase after regaining his memories he is still protective of her which the roidmudes would later on take advantage of. According to Krim Protozero would rather keep her a secret from roidmudes upon fearing for her own safety even as Chase he had hid the truth about her from the others due to letting his fear of losing her. Before the Global Freeze Maria had a terrible health issue in which he fears would get very worse. During his days as Machin Chaser, he would demand answers from her of why he keeps seeing a sick girl with a Black Kamen Rider who looks like her telling him to continue to protect humans from the dangers of humanity in which she tells him find the answers on his own. After being freed from his brainwashing and returned to being a Kamen Rider he asked her if he made the right choice which she responds that he did, he would then regain his memories and would then go through great lengths to restore his sister's body. After the Global Freeze he is often traumatized by Maria's supposed death by the Global Freeze that caused her to feel ill and be destroyed.

* Krim Steinbelt

Because he created Maria and her brother, due to looking after her as a child he knows that Protozero has grown very protective of her. Even after the Global Freeze he notices Kiriko being protective of her little brother which reminds him of Protozero being protective of his little sister Maria. Krim mentions that Protodrive's fear of Maria's life in danger would often get the best of him. Due to her illness, he would have Mad Doctor look after her.

* Shinnosuke Tomari

When he first meets her, she told him that he had been chosen for a purpose to fight to protect those who are a threat to humanity. After becoming Drive she would reveal him that the former drive is alive and that he and his allies must free him from the roidmudes which Shinnosuke doesn't know why then he learns from Krim that Chase is 000 the former Drive he finally understands why when learning of her true identity he learns that she asked him to free Chase from the brainwashing was because he is her brother. Shinnosuke would mention of Krim being right about Protodrive's fear of Maria's life in danger would often get the best of him.

* Go Shijima

Go assumes she might know how to wipe the roidmudes faster which she would consider him immature to think something like that and told him how she can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes what kind of a monster his father Banno is which he doesn't understand. When he complains to her about a lowly roidmude taking on the mantel of a Kamen Rider which she tells him to get used to it he would even tell her that Chase is up to something which he believes is something related in finishing off Drive unaware that it was mostly related to the Star and not Drive. When finding out her true identity as a genetic roidmude he would be in complete disbelief that a top idol is in fact a genetic roidmude and that her older brother is in fact a lowly roidmude which she mentions that he is too naïve and that he was too young to understand the truth behind the roidmudes attack on the humans.

* Kiriko Shijima

When Kiriko is told of the secret star by Shinnosuke and Go and is confused of what she told them and later on knows what she means when Shinnosuke is told by her about he and his allies must save the former Drive while Go who was told by her about what kind of a monster their father is which Go doesn't understand what she meant but Kiriko knows what she meant because she recalled how her mother would get upset whenever Kiriko asked about their father which she figure out that their father must have done something wrong to her mother. Kiriko would then see that Chase was being more of an over protective brother towards Maria upon figuring out that that the reason why Chase chooses to hid it from them because he was scared of losing her.

* Heart/002

Heart would consider her a star sent from the sky and would ask her for guidance on how to defeat the Kamen Riders but she would tell him to let go of his hatred for humans. After her body is revived, he would learn of her true identity as a genetic roidmude and Chase's little sister and would no longer asked for guidance but also ask why she never told him that she was a genetic roidmude and never told him that she's actually Chase's sister. Due to being very precious to Chase, Heart could not bring himself to destroy her upon knowing that destroying her would upset Chase.
