Maria Robotnik (Maria Robotonikku) is a character that appears 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 Japanese, and Shelly Fox and Bella Hudson in English. She is the granddaughter 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.
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, he and Maria became friends. Soon after, the ARK was stormed by G.U.N. soldiers. 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, she 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 to him to become friends with Sonic.
