Personality
Maria has a patient, tolerant personality and also an inquisitive one. The divorce of her parents has made her somewhat moody. Maria seems much less worldly-wise and trendy than Kelsey though she was also braver and more sensitive. Clearly, Maria looks up to Sarah Jane.

Donna's World
If Donna Noble had turned right for a job interview instead of turning left, Maria would have investigated the Royal Hope Hospital with Sarah Jane, Clyde and Luke. Since, as it was moved to the moon, the oxygen ran out it caused every one in the hospital, including Maria, to die of suffocation. (DW: Turn Left)
