Trivia

 * In her first appearance, Maria sang "Dancing of Breams and Plaices", which is a Japanese phrase that refers to extremely extravagant hospitality or feasts. The phrase stems from the legend of Urashima Tarō, who is rewarded with a visit to Ryugu Palace for rescuing a turtle. He is welcomed with a feast of very expensive and delicious fish such as sea bream and flounder.
 * Maria seems to be based off of famous female African-American singers, such as the late Aretha Franklin.
