Maria is the love interest of the film and one of the heroines. She is a member of the lower class who tries to convince her brethren to follow her example and be peaceful in their wait for their savior.
She originally wears a sort of dirndl-like peasant dress and appears to be blond and blue-eyed. I re-envision her as a more exotic, dark woman not unlike the "gastarbeiters" from Turkey in modern day Germany. This visually separates the different classes and introduces some racial undertones to the class struggle. I also used references of Dorothea Lange subjects in the Great Depression as inspiration for her dress.
