Skills

Being the leader of SF-Zoo shows she is capable of leading a group and issuing commands. She was also able to fend off Arthur Pencilgon for a time to allow Sunraku time to escape into Thirdrema.

Her main job is Yin-Yang Master (陰陽大師, Onmyō Taishi) and her sub job is Sorcerer (魔術師, Majutsu-shi).[10] Her playstyle specializes in neutralizing targets rather than defeating them. She has mastery over various magic that inflicts debuffs and restricting her targets' actions, but her fighting power is rather low.[11] When it comes to taming animals, however, Animalia is second to none in the entire game.[12]

After reaching Level 99, she received the Arcanum "The Sun", which affects the strength of her magic and skills depending on the time of day: From 6 am to 6 pm, her spells are boosted but her skills are weakened, while from 6 pm to 6 am, her skills are boosted but her spells are weakened.[13]

Plot Background Maria is an animal lover who has had a severe allergy to various animals since childhood.[5] Throughout the years, she tried to interact with animals on many occasions and all of them had her end up hospitalized for long periods of time. All those times in confinement, she cried countlessly for the price she had to pay just to satisfy her desires.[3]

At some point, Animalia triggered the Unique Scenario "Tour of Rabituza" and visited Rabituza. She was delighted by all of the Vorpal Bunnies, but after she defeated the Bunny-Eating Serpent, she was forced to leave, much to her dismay.[6]

Flowers from This World, With Love After a screenshot of Sunraku with Emul is posted on a message board, Animalia immediately heads for Thirdrema so she can question him about getting a Vorpal Bunny companion. She catches him at the city's gate, but they are interrupted by the arrival of Pencilgon and other Ashura-Kai members, who are there to kill Sunraku for the information. While Sunraku fights Pencilgon, Animalia tries talking to Sunraku's human friend, but just then Emul's magic power runs out, turning her back into her bunny form. Animalia is delighted to have hold of a Vorpal Bunny. As Sunraku makes a dash for the city, Emul leaps out of Animalia's hands. When Animalia implores him for a picture, he promises to think about it if she can help him safely reach the city, so she blocks Pencilgon's path. Animalia is easily defeated after all of her debuffing spells are bounced back at her due to Pencilgon's Karmic Straw Doll. However, with the doll destroyed, Pencilgon is vulnerable to Animalia's last resort spell, Fellow Traveler, which takes out both of them.[7]

Weeks later, Animalia hears the announcement that Sunraku, Pencilgon, and Oikatzo have defeated the Colossus Wezaemon the Tombguard.[8]
