Maria (マリア Maria) is the youngest member of the royal family of Medon and the younger sister of Michalis and Minerva in Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi, Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, and Fire Emblem: Shin Monshō no Nazo ~Hikari to Kage no Eiyū~.

As Doluna rose to power, Michalis murders the siblings' father, King Osmond. Maria, being unaware of the true nature of her father's death at the time of Michalis' coronation, supports his ascension to the throne. After Michalis seizes control of Medon, he approaches Maria, explaining to her that Medon would face a crisis if Doluna does not feel that Medon is truly allied with them. Michalis' solution is for Maria to become Doluna's hostage. Despite being a child, Maria agrees, trying to protect the citizens of Medon and please her older brother. Michalis, however, has lied to her, as his primary reason for imprisoning Maria is to keep his younger sister Minerva in control. During the war itself, Minerva secretly reaches out to Marth via her subordinates and convinces him to rescue Maria from Castle Deil, earning him the loyalty of both Medon royal sisters.
