Maria has a high self-esteem but low self-control, something that becomes apparent with her spent of Salvatore's money, [[Overdose of Trouble|drug usage]] and [[Shop 'Til You Strop|shoplifting]]. In addition to being a nymphomaniac, she is also very dominating, and perceives Salvatore's most trusted henchmen as lapdogs that should do her bidding, and calling them "Fido" (as it is the case with [[Claude]] in GTA III and [[Toni Cipriani]] in GTA Liberty City Stories<!--Cellphone call when player is first introduced to Maria's missions-->). | Maria has a high self-esteem but low self-control, something that becomes apparent with her spent of Salvatore's money, [[Overdose of Trouble|drug usage]] and [[Shop 'Til You Strop|shoplifting]]. She is also very talkative and is known to get lost in her ramblings. She can be a bit of an airhead as she constantly gets herself in sticky situations. One such example is when she told Salvatore that her and Claude had an affair, effectively making it lethal for Claude to visit Portland. In addition to being a nymphomaniac, she is also very dominating, and perceives Salvatore's most trusted henchmen as lapdogs that should do her bidding, and calling them "Fido" (as it is the case with [[Claude]] in GTA III and [[Toni Cipriani]] in GTA Liberty City Stories<!--Cellphone call when player is first introduced to Maria's missions-->). | ||
