Appearance
Maria is not a really attractive girl, but is a bit of a looker even in her conservative outfit, as she sometimes laments in her diary. She wears her long and bright blonde hair in a ponytail, her hazel eyes sometimes covered by her hair--which also covers up a scar from a close brush with death at the hands of one of her own comrades. She wears a grey zip up undershirt with a white thermal polo over that. She wears a blue vest with all but the top two buckles buckled. She wears a medium length white skirt with a red fringe--held up by a light grey belt--the closest she will ever get to 'flirty' with her

Off to the left, she has a large pouch with items critical to her work: smoke  outfits. She wears custom made combat boots  that suit her needs for stealth. She also has custom made grey leather gloves. bombs, flash bangs, a small choke chain, and concussion grenades. On her back, in two different sheathes, she has her twin swords--"Judge" and "Jury"--strapped across her chest. On her forearms and legs, she wears custom made light grey hard leather arm and shin guards, complete  with white trim. On her back, hooked onto her belt, she carries her ranged weapon "Divine Judgement".

Personality
Her personality isn't flirty, but she is not shy, and is somewhat out going. In her diary, she often laments at the ease of which boys sometimes fall for her, and sometimes about her successful hunts:

"Dear Diary:

''Again, I'm with a few of my friends when a certain human boy--I shall not speak of his name--lusted after me for a few days. I rebuffed him twice, but after the first time, he refuses to let me out of his sight. Oh, how his other flame would be simply infuriated that hes infatuated with me. At times like these, I wish I wasn't as pretty as I was. Although Shiza says such talk is nonsense. Today, I'm determined to rid myself of him, however dashing he may seem... "''

"Dear Diary: 

''Another successful hunt today. The prey didn't put up a fight and I did manage to subdue her with ease. Shame I had to break a few bones to do it. She had the prettiest little face, shame she was human criminal scum. Also got her little boyfriend that was tailing her, too. A crying shame, I would have gone out with that boy too, if he wasn't a human..."''

As it shows, she clearly shows some sort of sympathy for her victims, albeit if it is more out of how they looked before they died. She's also surprisingly intelligent, reading books in her spare time. But around friends and coleagues, she can be very talkative and outgoing.

Weapons
Her weapons reflect her desire to maintain stealth. As part of her job, she maintains these weapons to make sure they work every time she uses them. She has been trained to use this arsenal since the age of 13. However limited her arsenal may be, she knows how to utilize that arsenal to its full pontential:
 * Judge and Jury: Two ninjato style blades that she keeps in ghost-white sheathes. She uses these blades when a fight comes to close-range. The blade handles are pale white and matte black respectively, and the blades a polished silver. Also made with a metal that allows her to channel her ablilty to use magic into the blades to enhance her attacks with the blades.
 * Divine Judgement: A whip that grab the opponent and slam them into the ground, and slam them down HARD. Used for one of her more powerful spells.
 * Hidden Blades: Custom made for each user, the blades are used for when silence is paramount in a mission. All Aria has to do is activate the spring mechanism and the blades pop out.

Battle Style
Her style of battle often varies by the weapons that she uses. When she is using her whip or on the attack, she's constantly thinking of countermoves for your next attack. This makes her virtually impossible to beat, along with the magical attacks she has up her sleeves:

Ranged Attacks:  Close-In Attacks:  Ultimate Attacks: 
 * Boulder Throw: An attack that sends massive mountain sized boulders at her opponents. She can also use mountains themselves as weapons of destruction.
 * Rock Arrows: Aria shapes rocks into arrows and fires them at her opponent. Indestructible and launched with a massive amount of kinetic energy behind them.
 * Rising Earth: A spell where she raises her hands, and a large pillar comes out from the earth. The pillar is mountain sized. Her eyes turn a bright silver as well.
 * Avalanche: She sends an avalache of rocks in the direction of her opponents. Similar in style to her boulder throw.
 * Rock Cutter: Her blades glow in a yellow light, allowing her to not only cut through rock, but use that rock to cover her blades to literal crush her opponents.
 * Rock Hammer: Uses a boulder like a giant hammer, her power ganting the rock in her possesion invicibility.
 * Rock Tornado: Aria uses her whip to create a tornado of stone, the attack not stopping until the opponent is pulverized or ripped apart.
 * Earthshaker: Aria slams her bare hands on the ground, creating an earthquake of god-like destruction. Her eyes turn a bright silver whenever this happens in this attack as well.
 * Kiss of Death: Aria grabs an opponent with her whip, pulling them to her. As soon as she likes, she kisses her opponent, the vicitm going limp within seconds of being touched. The attack lends her the nickname "The Mistress of Death".

History
Born an Angel, she was cast out a few ceturies after she reached the age of 300, forced to wander the earth. However, not much is really known about her. Her records were seemingly destroyed to cover up the fact that she ever existed. As a Zodiac Warrior, she now hunts for those that seek to escape the hand of her wrath.
