I thought she is super annoying with her <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">&#8220;Marian LOVErin&#8221;<\/span> mantra &amp; her always trying to be so cute &amp; funny. But she was so young at that time.<\/p>\n<p>But things have changed drastically during these years after 2014. I guess they have changed inside my head but also Maria has changed. She has grown up and she is not any more that little girl she used to be.<\/p>\n<p>Today Maria is one of my most favorite girls in <strong>Hello! Project<\/strong>.
