Maria DeLuca is a fictional character created by Melinda Metz for the young adults book series Roswell High and adapted by Jason Katims for the 1999-2002 American science fiction television series Roswell. She was portrayed by actress Majandra Delfino in the television series.
Maria Deluca lives in Roswell, New Mexico with her single mother Amy Deluca. Her parents broke up when she was a little girl around the same time her dog died. She is high strung, quirky and sarcastic. Although she does not particularly excel in academic subjects, she is shown to be a very talented musician and interested in photography. She is a fiercely loyal friend, confident and compassionate. Although she is the character who struggles most with the aliens' secret, Maria is also shown to keep very cool under pressure. Negative personality traits include being demanding and jealous, which is most evident in her relationship with Michael Guerin. However, she is a passionate person who finds it easy to open up.
In season one, Maria reluctantly becomes part of the three aliens' secret. When her best friend Liz Parker gets shot, she is healed by Max Evans. Max turns out to be an alien, along with his sister Isabel Evans and his best friend Michael Guerin. Liz shares this secret with Maria. Although Maria seems terrified of them at first, when Isabel walks into her dream, she comes through when she refuses to tell Sheriff Valenti Isabel's true identity, thus earning the three aliens' trust. Although Maria is intimidated by Isabel, the two become friends, when Isabel helps Maria at the Crashdown Café when she is in a sticky situation.
