Hockey isn't really Maria's cup of tea. She'd like it if it involved ponies and wearing pink dresses. But short of creating a new hockey position called the Roving Equestrian Ice Princess, she'll settle for wearing a pink uniform.

Maria is great at keeper and defense. She eagerly blocks kicks, passes and the occasional fast break. Offense can give her a bit of a problem, so keep her in the backfield to utilize her skills best. She really likes to play on any team that wears pink and plays really well as a result

Maria Luna loves to swim pretty good. When it comes to pool parties and birthday parties, she would have a blast. Also, she enjoys swim classes where she learn to swim with flippers, goggles, water wings, kickboards, and innertubes. Her breaststroke is excellent, and her friends would sing "Las Mañanitas" to her when she prepares to blow out the candles for special occasions.
