Maria is the second protagonist of the Giana Sisters series. She is known to be Giana's sister and being the "damsel-in-distress" in Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams.

History[]

In The Great Giana Sisters, Maria is used as a second player option for the multiplayer mode. However, in Giana Sisters DS, she's notably absent.
At the beginning of Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, she is pulled into the dream world and abducted by Gurglewocky. Giana follows her sister through the portal and sees Gurglewocky eat Maria whole. Inside Gurglewocky's bowel, she met a passive owl, which will help her to find the diamond for going home. Upon finding it, she get captured by tentacles, preventing her to leave by herself with the owl. The owl later meet her sister, Giana, which explains what happened to Maria. Giana went looking for the red dragon. In the lair beneath the dragon keep, Giana defeats the dragon and retrieves her sister from the depths of Gurglewocky's bowels and returning home with their diamonds.

As of the storybook of Giana Sisters: Dream Runners, Maria is currently portrayed as the older sister of Giana.

Maria is identical to Giana, but with different color scheme. She has short green hair, just reaching her shoulders. She wears a pink dress with a white under-dress, a red belt and wears red wrist bands. She wears white and magenta shoes.

As of the Dream Runners Storybook and the Owltimate Edition, she is now taller than Giana and has a ponytail with a green node.

In her Steam trading card, she has Punk Giana's clothes but with a different color scheme. She wears a sweater with a variety of red stockings and a blue skirt with a skull. She has black and red-magenta shoes. Her ponytail is bigger and her node is red and bigger too. However, that design is probably her punk form, since she use the same style as Punk Giana. Or maybe it's a redesign planned for the future.
