Prior to the events of ''[[EarthBound Beginnings]]'', she and George met while she drew carnations outside [[Podunk]] as the first person who greeted him. Afterwards, when George was selected to write a novel cataloguing the town's history, he chose Maria as its artist, and married soon after. During their marriage, Maria was known for playing piano concerts for the rest of her family, and sewing with her fellow housewives, selling the results thereof for charity to the local church. | |||
Afterwards, as seen in the prologue and MOTHER: Invasion from the Unknown, she and George were abducted by aliens in the year 1906<ref>"At that time, a young married couple vanished mysteriously from their home. The man's name was George, the woman's name was Maria. Two years later, as suddenly as he left, George returned. ... 80 years have passed since then." - ''[[EarthBound Beginnings]]'' Intro</ref><ref name=encyclopedia>[https://archive.org/details/mother-encyclopedia/mode/2up MOTHER Encyclopedia] (Note: The Mother's Day Times page reveals the game to take place in 1988) </ref>/1902<ref name=cyoa></ref> while traveling by car from [[Merrysville]] to [[Podunk]] near [[Mt. Itoi]]. George managed to escape two years later, but was unable to rescue Maria. As a result, she spent most of her life taking care of an infant [[Giegue]], the game's primary villain. | |||
