[That is much appreciated - Maria really doesn't want to get into her head too much. She's a strong kid, despite everything, but even she has some pretty negative thoughts at times. It's just difficult not being able to do the sorts of things others can, and feeling like she can't be relied on when Maria has to rely on so many other people herself.]

Hi...bi...ki? Am I saying that right? [It's much different to what Maria is used to, and she stumbles a bit, but gets it in the end.] That's quite an introduction as well! Um...I'm Maria Robotnik and I'm currently twelve years old. I like studying aspects of the Earth and its history as well as other types of sciences, like robotics and engineering. And I also really like food - black teas and semisweet pastries are my favorite.
