Maria is the daughter of Nikolai, and granddaughter to Balthasar, one of the sages of Shevat. A few years before the game her father -- a remowned gear engineer -- was kidnapped and forced to work for Solaris. She was captured along with him, but when he finished his first prototyope gear for the Solarians (Seibzehn) he helped her to escape, sending her and that gear away toward Shevat. Nobody knows how she pilots the gear, but it's safe to assume that it was somehow aligned with her, personally. Due to this invasion into her life, Maria obviously harbors a huge grudge toward anything affiliated with Solaris. She uses Seibzehn to deflect all attacks on her new home -- Shevat -- and plans to someday take her revenge on the other aerial city, and save her father. When Fei and his friends make their first trip to Shevat, Maria is there to fight them. Once they defeat her she leads them into the city, and to the Queen. She is eager to help them with their cause once she realizes it'll give her a chance to fight Solaris, but before they can come up with any plans the city is attacked by Solaris. The battlegroup is lead by a large red gear, similar to Seibzehn in design, and once its transmission reached Shevat, she knew it was her father out there leading the attack force. To make a long story short (and avoid any other potential spoilers), the task force is defeated, her father is freed, and Maria joins the companions in their war against Solaris. Although she isn't a strong fighter on foot, Maria's gear is well worth upgrading for the last confrontation! (Everything below is either speculation or my opinion) *sigh* Maria isn't much good unless you're using her gear. She has a few "skills" that allow her to call some of Seibzehn's attacks during a normal battle, but otherwise she's completely useless unless you need an item person. Even her storyline is rather minor...... you can learn everything about her during your first trip to Shevat - no spoilers there.
