Twelve-year-old Maria is bursting with energy and the desire to connect. She is incredibly outgoing and will talk to just about anyone. Maria has a big, sweet personality that possesses a unique combination of sass and kindness. She is exceptionally grateful and caring to those around her. Maria is captivated by music and dreams of becoming a musical phenomenon one day. She laughs at just about anything, but particularly while watching YouTube sensation Lizzza, whose personality almost compares to hers. Maria can be found with her nose in a book, dabbling with makeup, learning to play guitar or socializing, of course.
