How i thought maria would look i suppose..? One thing i notice is that all the mother series’ protags moms wear a dress of some sort so that’s what i gave to her, i gave her curly hair like her magicant art, but longer cause maybe her magicant design is her appearance of what she would’ve loved to look like if her world was all based around her

idk just an idea. I don’t know what to actually give her from me yet

also giegue is floating in the second img

George & Maria

way too late with this, so i'm really sorry to that anon who asked me about my headcanons for them ages ago... but since it's the anniversary of MOTHER 1, i figured i should finally sit down and do it! :D

So, without further ado, here's my own personal take on George and Maria, the two who started it all...

[As always, this is all my own vision for these characters, it differs a lot from other interpretations and since I'm particularly interested in them I kinda go off the rails with it. Hope it's enjoyable!]

So, things begin with Maria! She was the daughter of a fairly wealthy family, born on the later side of the 1800s in a rural part of Eagleland. She was kind, outgoing, positive to a fault, and well-liked by everyone in the town she lived in. She hosted most of the town's events and celebrations, most often at her family's estate, and no one was excluded.

Also, she was trans. This was something of an open secret, although she never talked about it, and most of the locals considered it impolite to gossip about. But since she'd been in the public eye since she was a child, it wasn't something that went unnoticed.

George was an out-of-towner, who showed up one day and quietly settled in, accompanied by a friend of his (his personal doctor, apparently. This is a weird oc that just kinda came into existence naturally, and he just kept showing up afterward... really need to give him a proper name at some point). He was a quiet person, although he got along well with the people he spoke to. He never spoke of where he'd come from, or why he'd left there. Mostly he preferred to stay indoors and write (he was something of an aspiring poet).

He never really paid much attention to the affairs of Maria's family, but one day he just happened to overhear some passing gossip while in town, and what he heard astounded him. He immediately knew that he had to meet Maria himself.

George had never attended any of Maria's parties, not being one for large social events, but he made sure to attend the next one as soon as he could. It was there that the two finally met. George was immediately captivated by her, and the more he spoke with her, the more he knew he was in love. She loved the way he spoke and looked at the world, and she wanted them to keep talking as long as they could.

The whole party passed, people left, until it was just the two of them. They were still talking and now, privately, George could finally reveal his own secret, too.

George was like Maria in a number of ways. However, he'd struggled far more with his own identity than she had. His family hadn't accepted him, had tried to force him into being someone he couldn't be, and so he left. Besides Maria, the only other person who knew about his secret was his doctor, a close friend of his who he'd always confided in. He'd had little hope he'd ever find anyone else who could understand, but he'd never even considered there might be someone else like him.

By the end of that night, they were already in love. They met more and more after that, never wanting to be without the other's company. He loved the way she sang, she loved to help him with his poems. She loved to tease him and say that he looked just like a penguin. When they went into town together, everyone wondered how this strange, quiet man from out of town had captured Maria's heart so well. Eventually, they were married, and after their daughter Rosie was born, they decided to move to a small, quiet town further away.

Just at the edge of the town of Mother's Day/Podunk, they built a small house on top of a hill (George's doctor came with them of course, as loyal as always. He moved into his own house just a short walk away, at the bottom of the hill). And so they lived there, husband and wife, their daughter growing up, and everything was happy.

When Rosie was about 8, a shadow fell over the town. Things lifted off the ground and flew across the room, animals went wild, and people vanished from their homes without a trace. When the morning came, George and Maria were gone.

Unfortunately, I think I'm gonna have to split this post. There's still plenty of George and Maria's story left to tell, and I think there's too much to get into in just one part. (also i still have some things i wanna work out for giygas...)

In any case, that's the story of how George and Maria met, right before everything goes wrong and the course of history is changed forever! I really love thinking about how many things turn out the way they do because of these two people. Without them, Giygas wouldn't have turned out the way he did, without Giygas, Porky would never have gone down that path, and without Porky...

So I've become super attached to my interpretations of these characters, and I really love giving them a larger spotlight. ^^

Hope this was fun! And happy 35th anniversary to MOTHER 1! :D

George and his wife get kidnapped by aliens, and also somehow get custody of one of the aliens? And George is expected to not be upset about this? Like, they probably had a kid back on earth (Ninten is their great grandson, and it's heavily implied that George didn't get remarried or anything), and now he's expected to help play nanny to one of the creatures that ruined his life? And the worst part is: even if he does his best to raise the innocent little guy, who may as well been another victim of the alien empire's cruelty, getting thrown into the human enclosure just to see what happens... even if George does his best to be fair and supportive and loving... Giegue is a psychic. He can read George's mind. He KNOWS George secretly resents him. George messes up his adopted kid just by being around.

And then George steals forbidden alien knowledge and supposedly abandons his wife and kid to flee back to earth. But the thing is, how DID a probably normal guy slip past mindreading, teleporting aliens and either hijack a spaceship or a stargate? How did George get back to earth in three years, but it took the empire eighty to catch up to him?

I mentioned in another post that I believe Maria was an extremely powerful psychic herself, powerful enough to create a Magicant. Going off of how Ness's Magicant is explained in Earthbound, it's a projection of one's mind that disappears as soon as it's creator wakes up. It's not just a dreamworld either: it's an alternate reality from which physical matter can be extracted, and that other people can travel through. In fact, Ninten and gang can use Magicant as a haven, and leaving it can bring them to different areas around Mt. Itoi.

You see what I'm getting at: George escaped through Maria's Magicant. She couldn't go with him him, because the dimension is a projection that she cannot physically travel through. Giegue could have gone with George, but Giegue probably wanted to stay with the parent who actually loved him.

Also, stealing the alien knowledge was probably what George believed was the morally correct thing to do. The empire clearly has no regard for the well being and dignity of others, not even their own kind. Minding his wife's prophecy, he built a robot bodyguard so that his great grandson could safely ascend Mt. Itoi and confront Giegue. He cared about humanity and did what he could to protect it.

Sorry for the ramble, I just feel like everyone assumes the worst of this guy, and I wanted to throw him a bone.

[[ I'm not very good at doing much with more dynamic poses lol, but I felt a spark of inspiration and decided to draw a certain mother and her adopted alien son dancing. ]]
