Maria Mikhailovna Kujou

**Maria Mikhailovna Kujou** (マリヤ・ミハイロヴナ・九条, *Mariya Mihairovuna Kujō*; Russian: Мария Михайловна Кудзё) is a second-year student and the student council secretary. Her nickname is **Masha** and she is the older biological sister of Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou.

## Appearance

Masha is yet another beauty of the series. She is also one of the two beauties from her school year and she is popular for her looks in the whole school, in fact she was called the "Madonna" of the school. Similar to Alya, she also has light skin, though it is not as light as Alya's - it's like Japanese with a light skin color. She has wavy light brown hair that are going to her shoulders and brownish hazel eyes. She has a childlike face with cute features that she got from her Japanese side in contrast to her sister.

Her face resembles a child when compared to her sister Alya, but from the neck down it is clearly visible as to who's the older sibling. Her sizes surpass those of her sister and she has more mature like features. In terms of femininity, Maria surpasses Alya. The combination of a more mature looking body, her gently looking appearance and a soft atmosphere makes it hard to believe that she's a second-year high school student. Overall she has an elegant air around her that is enough to lower anyone's guard.

## Personality

Masha is a sweet young lady with a soft atmosphere around her all the time. She always has her fluff mature smile, which is enough to lower one's guard and seems to be someone who cares about everyone around her. She's Alya's older sister and keeps teasing her, which shows how close they really are. Throughout the series, it is made clear how she cares for her, actually so much that she wanted Alya to call her 'Onee-san' in Japan in which Alya refused. She has a boyfriend whom she would call out occasionally and when he's not present, she talks to an image of him she has in her locket which turns her into 'maiden-in-love-mode'.

When it comes to school, she's a model student. She's a very good student council secretary and is also talented in various other fields too. At first Kuze thought she got in to the council due to her popularity, but he was soon proven to be wrong.

She loves cute things and always wants to keep them for herself. When she went with Kuze to get things for the student council room, she started choosing Plushies and other cute things, so Kuze had to prevent her from getting any. She also likes Tea and she also bought some of it for the student council.
