[[quoteright:337:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maria_dangering.png]]
Niece of the Duke of Dangering (daughter in the anime). Irwin's sister, she falls in love with Arthur.
----
* {{Foil}}: To Jessica. They are both girls who are in love with a Bateman brother (Jessica with Abel, and Maria with Arthur), but Jessica is a selfish and possessive girl who is willing to pay a man to kill Georgie, and is constantly rejected by Abel, while Maria is a kind and sweet girl who really cares about Arthur and is never rejected by him (although this is because Duke Dangering and Irwin have him as a prisoner and force him to act as her fiancé) and she doesn't feel any resentment towards Georgie.
* NiceGirl: A very gentle and kind girl who contrasts with the rest of her family.
* SilkHidingSteel: An elegant and delicate ProperLady like Maria [[spoiler: conspires with Georgie secretly from his family to free Arthur from the cell]].
* TheTease: [[spoiler: She flirts with one of the guards in Arthur's cell, to convince him to drink a tea with liquor that will make him sleep and so Georgie's father and Abel take the opportunity to free Arthur]].
* TokenGoodTeammate: In a family where everybody are jerkasses, Maria seems to be the only one who is really a good person.
* UnrequitedTragicMaiden: Possibly to Arthur, although most of the time, it's downplayed, since the problems that Arthur is going through at that time are much bigger to limit himself to a simple LoveTriangle. Nevertheless she falls into this trope much more when she believes that Arthur is dying.

* UptownGuy: He is the son of a nobleman and Georgie is the adopted daughter of some farmers.

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: A strange case. In the anime Georgie or his siblings sometimes go to him for advice, and some of them could be considered quite dubious if viewed with modern day eyes (Example: telling Georgie that her mother is severe with her for being a girl , or tell her that Abel is possessive towards her for having a very pretty sister) but that for the time in which the story is set they made sense. That said, some advice seems to be more like a way to prevent Georgie from knowing that she was adopted or that her siblings were in love with her, than a genius belief in them, and other advice if they were more understandable, such as when he convinced Mary to let Georgie go to school or when he told Arthur that he had to consider Georgie's feelings.

The fiance of Lowell. Born in Duke of Dangering, a prestigious British aristocrat.

* AdaptationalKarma: In the manga she hardly receives any punishment for her bad deeds, not only is it mentioned that she regrets what she did to Georgie (although she never apologizes directly to her if we are to the case) but also Lowell ends up falling in love and deciding marry her.
