The Queen treats the peasant girl as an equal, welcoming her into her court with open arms.

Her nurturing presence becomes the cornerstone of her family, providing her brothers and her love interest with moral support from which they are able to fight for the liberation of their people. One of Maria’s biggest challenges is to mend divisions between family members and other towns people, helping them over their shortcomings so that they can focus on the fight. While Maria is firmly non-violent throughout the film, she fights fanatically for her people.
