#daughter........

favorite thing about them: she’s too good for this world

least favorite thing about them: she literally exists to give shadow manpain. also most if not all of his motivations in life revolve around her exclusively. these are both bad and she deserved better

favorite line: “To all the people living on that planet.....give them a chance to be happy. I know you can do this, Shadow....you were born for that purpose.”

brOTP: Shadow and Maria, of course

OTP: I’ve only seen her shipped with Shadow but.....that ain’t it, chief

nOTP: take a wild guess

random headcanon: Maria thought she had accepted her fate, having lived in sickness nearly all her life. She was optimistic that Shadow and her grandfather would find a cure for her, but she wasn’t naive; she knew that the possibility of dying before she could be cured was VERY real. But when GUN took over ARK, she realized how badly she was scared of dying. However, when the GUN soldiers chased her and Shadow all the way to the escape pods? She didn’t save Shadow at the cost of her life because she was brave. She did it because she was terrified of dying, but that fear paled in comparison of the fear of Shadow dying instead.

unpopular opinion: mobian!maria as a hedgehog is boring; mobian!maria as a bird (maybe a canary, or a chick since i picture mobian!eggman and mobian!gerald as roosters) is where it’s at

song i associate with them: The Ocean That I Found by Heinali and Break You Open by Aruna (i like to think of that last one as Maria’s POV about Shadow during the events of SA2...)

favorite picture of them:
