(Summary)

A Magical girl who is motherly and pure of heart. People often mistake her for a young woman, but she's still in high school. She works part-time at a local daycare. In front of her favorite kids, she's like a gentle big sister; however, her friends know her more mischievous side.

(Side Story)

Maria bids her parents goodbye for the day as her father heads out the door.

Her mother informs her she'll be running late with a client and hands Maria some money so she can buy herself dinner. Maria thinks 5000 yen is a little much so she agrees to keep 100 yen instead. She tells her mom she'll be running a little late too since she has to go to her part time job after school. Her mom warns her not to come home too late before heading out as well. On her way to school, Maria runs into two little girls, one of which attends the daycare that Maria works at. Maria works there because she loves children, not necessarily because she needs the money.

Maria is very popular at the daycare. There, the children swarm her with their constant demands of book reading, homework help, and playing various games. When one of the girls asks for help with her homework, Maria picks out another child that's in the same grade as her so they can all work on it together. She chooses a boy named Shin-kun and calls out to him but discovers him looking rather down.

Maria asks him what's wrong, but the boy doesn't want to say. As he goes to start his homework, Maria speaks with one of the daycare workers and mentions how sad Shin-kun has been looking the past few days. She wishes she could do more to help the children and recalls the circumstances under which she contracted. Initially she had no idea what to wish for, but at that moment a car swerved and accidentally struck a child. Without a moment's hesitation Maria had wished for Kyubey to "Save that child!" Maria had no regrets in terms of becoming a Magical Girl, but even so she still wishes she could do more. She wonders if Shin-kun isn't so much sad as he is lonely.

Noticing how he seems to perk up when his mother comes to pick him up, Maria takes the moment to pull his mom aside to speak with her. She lets her know how sad Shin has been looking and asks if he isn't lonely at home. Shin's mother admits that her job is already pretty lenient with what time she leaves and she's been working on Saturdays to make it up. She knew that Shin was lonely but had pretended not to notice until Maria pointed it out.
