Maria is a [[Curate]] that joins in Chapter 10. Maria has a [[weapon level]] of 8, which is high enough to use every [[staff]] in the game. This single-handedly gives Maria enough utility to justify using her, as certain staves are extremely useful, such as [[Warp]] and [[Physic]]. Unfortunately, Maria has many other weaknesses that limit her potential. She has a [[speed]] of 2, with a growth of 20%, meaning she will probably get doubled by any enemy she goes up against. Her [[defense]] is a very low 4 with a growth of 0%, which—when you factor in her low speed, her 19 max HP with a 0% growth, and the fact she only has an avoid of 2 before terrain bonuses—means she will likely die against any enemy she comes up against. These weaknesses can be improved by [[Class change|promoting]] to [[Bishop]], which additionally allows her to use [[tome]]s. Unfortunately, the only way for Maria to gain experience is to survive combat, which is very hard considering her terrible durability. She only starts at level 3, so she needs to gain 7 levels to reach the promotion threshold, and she joins too late in the game to take advantage of weaker enemies in the earlier levels. Additionally, the [[Bishop's Ring]] needed to promote her can't be obtained until [[Manakete Princess|Chapter 19]], so she can't take advantage of the benefits of promotion for most of the game. Still, being able to use every staff gives her enough utility to justify using if you feel you need another staff-user.

Maria joins as a level 3 [[Cleric]] in Chapter 10, at the halfway point of ''Shadow Dragon''. Her base stats are low, aside from a relatively high resistance stat, and her level is also low, requiring seven more to promote. Her growth rates except for luck and resistance are also low, so she will not gain many stats from the level-ups she needs.
