Maria Amabuki

Maria Amabuki (天吹 万梨阿, Amabuki Maria) is the current leader of Dorami and the rebellious daughter of Reiko Amabuki.

Maria Amabuki
She once had a healthy relationship with her mother when she was younger, but it all fell apart when she found out about Reiko's background. It is implied that she dragged her two friends to be part of her gang, but they are too nice about it.

Despite acting like a tough and rude Japanese criminal, she draws the line in harming elementary school students and lets Lily break free when he threatens her and Sakura.

She really wants to be one like her mother, but her gang is only made up of her and two other girls, and her scooter covered in pink stickers doesn't exactly inspire this image.

She makes a bad move trying to fight Saki, who isn't even a bit intimidated by her. In any case, Saki gives him a tip "Don't pick fights you're not ready for." Unfortunately, this advice falls on deaf ears, as she subsequently attempts to fight Misa, another motorcyclist delinquent who is far above her level.

She does her best to become the same motorcycle gang captain her mother was before, as Maria feels her mother lost her temper. She has a hard time pulling it off when most of her gang are sticker-covered female scooters and only two other members who know they're not cut out for it. Saki has to prove her point about knowing her limits by jumping and surviving, a bicycle accident that Misa wouldn't dare to do.

She uses her mother's maiden name, Kirishima. Exclusively for this band, she rejects her mother's married name because she hates what her mother became, and would rather follow the tough biker she used to be. It is also relevant to the plot, as using her mother's name is how Saki realizes that she is Reiko's daughter.

Appearance
Maria is a high school girl with long wavy light brown hair who has two small buns with long tails coming out of them made on both sides with bangs long enough to cover her forehead that ends in a straight cut over her orange eyes.

She usually wears a Dorami uniform, which is the standard Dorami uniform, consisting of a long red coat with her name and position written on the back in Kanji characters. Underneath, she wears a gray blouse, black tie, and a long black skirt.

Instead of a motorcycle like the original gang, she and her gang use colored mopeds to travel.

Personality
Maria has a very rebellious and aggressive personality that she developed by hating her, the soft and unnecessarily apologetic attitude of her mother, Reiko Amabuki. She has proclaimed herself the leader of the Dorami motorcycle group, of which she has learned that her mother had been the leader.

She and her gang do this to look threatening to Sakura and Lily, but all they do is make them look silly.

She talks about a great game during a confrontation with Misa, but her voice shakes all the time, and Saki comments afterwards that Misa would have hit Maria's tar if they had really come to blows. Given Saki's past combat experience, it's safe to say that she accurately judged who was the more dangerous of the two.

She tries to be a tough talking motorcyclist like her mother in the past, but she is quite inept and very insane for doing it.

Trivia

 * The name Maria means "ten thousand" (万) (ma), "pear" (梨) (ri) and "flatter, fawn upon, corner, nook, recess" (阿) (a).
 * Maria's surname Amabuki means "heaven, sky" (天) (ama) and "blow, breathe, puff, emit, smoke" (吹) (buki).
 * The reason why Maria prefers mopeds is because they are used by small-time modern Japanese biker gangs due to the stricter laws implemented against biker gangs after the 80~90s.
 * Maria shares the same Japanese voice actor as Kaguya Shinomiya from Kaguya-sama: Love is War.
