Hojo Maria is a world-renowned violinist and the mother of Hibiki Hojo from Suite PreCure. She is often away from home due to her international concerts, mainly working in Paris, which results in frequent communication with her family through video calls. While her lifestyle is free-spirited and a bit absent-minded, she deeply cares for her daughter’s feelings and is mindful of making Hibiki feel lonely. Hojo Maria is known for her cheerful and unpredictable personality, intersperses French in her daily conversations, and isn't very skilled at household chores. She shares with her husband, Dan Hojo, a certain resistance to the negative sound waves emitted by the Negatone monsters.
