Her hair is also able to access a person's neural network, allowing Maria to change people's memories.
History[]
Maria had escaped the destruction of Planet Fleed by the Vegan Empire and after fighting off some Saucer Beasts pursuing them went to Earth where Maria under Ruke's instructions changed his memory so that they could not be tracked down. Maria had come to visit her 'brother' after he came home from school and introduced herself to the Makiba family. After requesting some bonding time with Daisuke, Maria took him to the Spazer's hiding spot while returning his memories as Ruke Fleed to fight the coming storm of the Vegan Empire. With the Grendizer sent out to fight, Maria offered support in the Spazer while sending out her 'sister' Maria 2 and the Florian Beet when Ruke was in danger. With the battle over, Maria reset Ruke's memories back to Daisuke with Maria growing close to Daisuke's friend Hikaru.
As more Saucer Beasts attacked, Maria picked up Daisuke to make him Ruke Fleed again to fight.
Trivia[]
- While Maria's name comes from Maria Fleed of Grendizer, her appearance is based on the Gamia Q androids.
