* CoolOldGuy: He was a snarky, funny guy.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mr Hooper is somewhat sarcastic but he is a nice person.
* LastNameBasis: As the oldest on the street in his day, he considered this a mark of respect.

----
* AbortedArc: She was hooked up with David until the mid-1980s.
** [[WordOfGod According to Louise Gikow, who wrote for various international co-productions]], the reason why the David–Maria romance angle was dropped was due to health problems involving David's actor, Northern Calloway. Calloway had been battling mental illness since the 17th season began in 1985, and by the time the 20th season ended in 1989, he became so ill and ill-looking that he had to leave the show, dying of excited delirium complications only a year later in 1990.

* SpicyLatina: Not normally an example, but she can lose patience a bit more dramatically than most of the other adults: see, for example, her {{The Reason You Suck Speech}} to Oscar in ''Series/ChristmasEveOnSesameStreet'' after he caused Big Bird to go missing.
* TeamMom: When she first joined the show she was more of a CoolBigSis figure while Susan was the TeamMom of the show, but as Maria matured she took on a more motherly role too. In the direct-to-video special where Big Bird gets sick and goes to the hospital, the receptionist asks her "Are you his mother?" and she responds "Not exactly... Sort of... Yeah."
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Oscar. He's normally just as rude to her as to anyone else, and she has no qualms about standing up to him (for example, in the above-mentioned ''Christmas Eve'' scene), but they've shared more friendship moments than he has with any other human. When she gave birth to Gabi, he was the one who drove her to the hospital in his Sloppy Jalopy.
* WackyCravings: She shared and enjoyed a lunch with ''Oscar'' while pregnant.
%%* WriterOnBoard: For a stretch of 20 years.

** [[WordOfGod According to Louise Gikow, who wrote for various international co-productions]], the reason why the David–Maria romance angle was dropped was due to health problems involving David's actor, Northern Calloway. Calloway had been battling mental illness since the 17th season began in 1985, and by the time the 20th season ended in 1989, he became so ill and ill-looking that he had to leave the show, dying of excited delirium complications only a year later in 1990.

* TeamMom: When she first joined the show she was more of a CoolBigSis figure while Susan was the TeamMom of the show, but as Maria matured she took on a more motherly role too. In the direct-to-video special where Big Bird gets sick and goes to the hospital, the receptionist asks her "Are you his mother?" and she responds "Not exactly... Sort of... Yeah."
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Oscar. He's normally just as rude to her as to anyone else, and she has no qualms about standing up to him (for example, in the above-mentioned ''Christmas Eve'' scene), but they've shared more friendship moments than he has with any other human. When she gave birth to Gabi, he was the one who drove her to the hospital in his Sloppy Jalopy.
