Maria's entire point is that she's kind of poking at the latter. Yes, in the GAME she's about as exciting as toast, but we get to see her home life in the actual world.

When she first activated her powers, she became shunned by everyone around her, her father left because he assumed his wife cheated with a noble, and her mother distanced herself and so Maria kind of buried herself in studies and dreamt of magic school being better, only to have that torn to shreds because she was the ONLY commoner and a lot of people treated her like shit for having the audacity to have magic while not being noble. She acts sweet and kind and mild because she's worn down as fuck but refuses to not be the change in the world she wants to see.

Ayrt - I hadn't actually watched enough of the anime to learn her tragic backstory, but it makes sense. I'm very fond of Honda Tohru from Fruits Basket, who is similarly a sweet cheerful girl with childhood trauma and abandonment issues, but who a lot of viewers find shallow and dull.

That's a really typical backstory and motive to be kind though. The other anon here likened her to Tohru, who I also find the blandest part of her canon. She's just such a good person even being treated like shit can't stop her from finding the strength to be nice! It's an interesting idea in theory, but it's been done to death and is pretty much the template for a shojo heroine that's being attempted to give depth to.

You sound like a bitter bullying victim who hates the world tbh
