Trivia

 * If you don't name your baby, Maria will ask her mother Anna to name him. She gives your child the name "Leo".
 * Maria's age is estimated to be 21 based on a combination of in-game dialogue and the information on her parents referenced in Bokujou Monogatari 2 Official Guide Book: Welcome to My Ranch. Harris is 25, and in-game after Maria and Harris are married, Anna mentions they remind her of her and the Mayor when they were young. The age difference between Anna and the Mayor is 4 years, which could mean Maria is 21.
 * After the Player marries Maria, Maria helps with crating eggs and pulling weeds.
 * Maria is the only bachelorette who has different reactions to your dog as her Affection Level increases. She overcomes her fear of dogs by befriending you. In fact, if you don't befriend her, she won't appear at the Dog Race in Winter.
