Maria Robotnik Bio
Maria Robotnik is a character that appeared in flashbacks during Sonic Adventure 2, and Shadow the Hedgehog, along with the anime series Sonic X, where she mirrored her role in Sonic Adventure 2. She is voiced by Yuri Shiratori in the Japanese version, and Shelly Fox and Bella Hudson in the English dubs.

She is the grandaughter of Professor Gerald Robotnik, and is the cousin of Doctor Ivo Robotnik, (better known by the alias Doctor Eggman.) Before Shadow was created, she was friends with the G.U.N. Commander. Maria suffered from the illness known as "NIDS" (Neuro-Immune Deficiency Syndrome), which was considered incurable at the time. An information card from Sonic X states she is 12 years old, 140cm (4ft 7 ½in) tall, and weighs 32kg (70 lb).

While Professor Gerald's government-sponsored research aboard the Space Colony ARK was initially intended to attain an immortal being, Gerald took on the task to try and save his granddaughter, and named the project 'Project Shadow'. After the final product, Shadow the Hedgehog was created, and he and Maria became best friends. While this was going on, someone had been leaking information that the Biolizard was a potential danger. So, G.U.N. sent troops up there in what they called an "accident", which was really a raid. Maria and Shadow attempted to flee the invading soldiers, but when they couldn't, Maria encased Shadow in an escape pod to escape the ARK. However, Maria was shot by a soldier, and as Shadow watched in horror, unable to help her, Maria asked him to bring hope to humanity and give humans a chance to be happy, before triggering the capsule's escape. This experience scarred Shadow for life, but ultimately his determination to keep his promise to Maria led him to become friends with Sonic.

Maria has made a few appearances in the Archie Sonic Comic, in Sonic #171 where Shadow's origins were finally revealed. In the alternate version of Mobius: 25 Years Later, the Mobians appear to view her as a deity of sorts as several of them are seen praying to a statue of her with angel wings in Portal, while a statue of her also appears in the throne room of Castle Acorn. Sonic even states the phrases "Maria have Mercy" and "Maria help me" at the loss of his family.
