Her tactical expertise and marksmanship skills made her the original leader of the group. However, her experiences in Russia left her coldly logical and emotionally distant, earning her the nickname "Kazuar," which means "phoenix" in the anime, although it actually refers to a bird related to the ostrich. After facing several setbacks, Ichiro Ougami was appointed as the new leader, with Maria serving as his second-in-command. Initially, there was friction between them when Ōgami arrived, but over time, Maria's attitude softened slightly, though she remains the most emotionally reserved member of the group. Sakura greatly admires Maria from the beginning. (Source: Wikipedia)
