(Sorry, I don't see any correspondence between these two. The game woman isn't even a shrine maiden - she uses an Ace Trainer sprite. This connection is opinionated at best.) |

Maria (Japanese: ミコト Mikoto), or Temple Maiden Maria, is a recurring character from the anime. She is the guardian of the Snowpoint Temple.
She first appeared in A Pyramiding Rage! where she welcomed Brandon right after his arrival. She and Samuel left to investigate the Snowpoint Temple and then later warns Brandon that Pokémon Hunter J has attacked the Temple. Maria and Brandon asked her not to disturb Regigigas, which resides in the Temple, but J ignored their warnings, causing damage to the Temple. Afterwards, when J had retreated and Regigigas had gone back to sleep, Maria prepared to rebuild the temple back to its former glory.
