@Glitchee123z: In of itself, I think it's a very good idea for a semblence, but I don't think it applies very well to Maria.

Maria isn't really about death or symbolic of death. Rather her theming is concerned with the duality of death as juxtaposed with life: The way that you can't have the one without the other.

People have a very conscious ego-driven desire to extend thier lives, but in doing so they nessessarily devalue, exlude, and ignore death as something negative -- so Maria embodies the other extreme as a means of tipping the scales and effecting a resurgance on these unconscious contents.

Her 陰 (yin) is a response to exsessive 陽 (yang) which is incidentally why Yang and Maria don't get along that well (but I imagine they secretly admire each other.)
