I wouldn't be surprised if Atlus makes a whole dang franchise out of the Metaphor Re Fantazio name. As such, I also wouldn't be surprised if they revisit characters from the original game. So here's my take on a grown-up Maria, setting out on her own adventure.

ALT TEXT: Maria, depicted here as an adult humanoid woman, from "Metaphor Re Fantazio." She is a mix of two of the world's races, rhoag (think stout humans) and ishkia (winged humans), with bright ruddy skin, and platinum blonde hair and wings. She wears her hair in a bob with a thin floral hairband holding it up, bangs parted on her forehead, and two long swathes of hair framing her face and hazel eyes. She wears a light teal dress with a diagonal stripe consisting of spare swatches of fabric crossing from her left strap to her right side. The dress is held up with a long black ribbon, the same fabric as the choker on her neck. Beneath her dress is a white skirt with a simple floral pattern of holes along the bottom trim at the knees. She wears simple leather boots up to the middle of her shins, as well as a blue satchel hanging from her left shoulder and resting on her right hip. She looks to the viewer with a smile, her right hand out as if presenting something.
