History
"Maria is an enigmatic young woman who is rumored to possess some very strange powers. Orphaned at a young age, she somehow became attached to Quark, an anti-Federation organization most active in the Klaus System. Now as its leader, she is using the group's resources to help her find Professor Robert Leingod and his family. This search naturally leads her to send her friends and coworkers, Cliff and Mirage, out to find Fayt."
Maria was an orphaned baby born on Earth in 753 SD. She was taken while she was still just an infant to Moonbase and was experimented on along with Fayt Leingod and Sophia Esteed. This genetic alteration was intended be a part of Dr. Robert Leingod's plan to save the universe from the Creator's punishment. Maria's genetics were encoded with Symbols, something being normally forbidden to do on a human being, and in this way she was given the power of Alteration, allowing her to modify the structure of matter itself.
At 17 years old, Maria began searching Federation database information on her true parents, as Jessie, before her death, had told Maria that she was not her true mother. Marietta discovered Maria's search and informed Cliff and Mirage. Even though he was intrigued by this search and why Maria didn't inform or ask him about her efforts, Cliff decided to hide his hand and keep a watchful eye over an unknowing Maria.
Later on, the Diplo received a distress signal to which they responded, but it was in fact a fake and the ship came to be confronted by the Federation battleship Invisible, whose captain had decided to end Quark's existence. Maria had suddenly a crisis during the attack, speaking of her mother and collapsing while the ship was being gravely damaged by the Invisible. Cliff thought that everything was lost and that they were going to die after doing everything possible to win. Under the word 'give up" said by Cliff, Maria reacts to her mother last word saying she mustn't give up. Maria stood up and asked to fire a mere torpedo on the Invisible. Cliff, having nothing to lose, said to Mirage to obey.
Using her Alteration power, the charged-up torpedoes from the Diplo tore through the Invisible's shields and destroyed the ship. She collapsed after this. After this incident, she became the new leader of Quark, taking the post that was held by Cliff until now, but that he released willingly.
After having found some answers to her question in using her new position, she decided to hunt down Dr. Leingod and find out the answer as to why he experimented on her and Fayt.
Upon learning the truth of Dr. Leingod's plan at Moonbase, and that it was not to dominate the galaxy or use her as a Federation weapon, Maria used her power of Alteration to enable herself and the party to survive in 4-D space, as Dr. Leingod had intended. She keeps a leading role alongside Fayt until the end of the game where they defeat the Creator of the universe, Luther. Even though he deleted the universe, the universe kept existing. It is speculated that her powers are the reasons of why the universe kept existing, her powers having altered the universe from an artificial one to a real one at the moment of the deletion.
Personality
Maria is very much a leader, able to take command of a situation and easily give out orders without questioning them, especially showing this trait during her time with quark.
She does not make friends easily, but as she gets to know someone, and does become their friend...She will always be loyal to them, despite her ironic last name.
MARIA CANT COOK! Even though she has a fairly OK cooking score, its only due to the combined efforts of her friends, and her ability to multi task that she can be a good help to the team. Otherwise....lets just say she burns water....the few things she can cook are stew (oddly enough), Some cakes, Jams, and her favorite Candied apples. Bear in mind, she can learn how to cook though, if someone ever wanted to teach her...
Abilities
The power of Alteration's purpose is to allow Maria, as well as Fayt and Sophia, and ultimately any of their companions, to be able to exist inside the the Creator's Realm by altering matter. Due to its nature, Alteration presents capacity similar to Destruction, considering it can modify any weapon for its destructive effect be largely greater, even though Fayt's power of Destruction is described as higher than Maria's. Maria can also render any type of object indestructible if she wishes so. Nevertheless, none of these powers awoke during her childhood, and a great amount of training was needed in order for Maria to exert a very small percentage of Alteration's deepest secrets.
In battle, she fights from a distance, her weapon being a gun, but also attacks at short range by kicking, having trained with Mirage and learned some of her martial arts techniques, such as "Triple Kick" and "Crescent Locus".
Additionally, her power of Alteration manifests as support Symbology that can improve other characters' strength, defense, and general abilities. She is considered one of the best characters in the game due to her large variety of attacks and the possibility of dealing lots of damage from long range, as well as short range if needed.
Gun Abilties
Aiming Device: A well placed Pulse shot, using a laser aiming device.
Scatter Beam: Causes the normal pulse shot to erupt into a short-range shotgun pattern.

Symbology:
Healing: A simple, but powerful healing spell, good for a single target.
