Maria Jackson
Maria Jackson is a young neighbour and ally of Sarah Jane Smith.
Profile
When Maria was thirteen, her parents Alan and Chrissie Jackson divorced, and she and her father moved to 36 Bannerman Road in Ealing, London. (SJA: The Day of the Clown)
That night Maria made the life-changing discovery of a neighbour, Sarah Jane Smith, conversing with a glowing winged alien. The very next day, she and a new friend from the neighourhood went to the Bubble Shock! factory, encountered other, unfriendly aliens and with Sarah, Kelsey and a young artificial Human, the Archetype, banded together to defeat the Bane invasion. (SJA: Invasion of the Bane)
Maria was in Cornwall with her father during the events of Earth's transportation to the Medusa Cascade and the subsequent Dalek invasion. (DW: The Stolen Earth)
She left Bannerman Road in 2009 after encountering a Sontaran and her dad had a new job in America. (DW: The Last Sontaran)
Personality
Maria has a patient, tolerant personality and also an inquisitive one. The divorce of her parents has made her somewhat moody. Maria seems much less worldly-wise and trendy than Kelsey though she was also braver and more sensitive. Clearly, Maria looks up to Sarah Jane.
Alternate Realities
Donna's World
If Donna Noble had turned right for a job interview instead of turning left, Maria would have investigated the Royal Hope Hospital with Sarah Jane, Clyde and Luke. Since, as it was moved to the moon, the oxygen ran out it caused every one in the hospital, including Maria, to die of suffocation. (DW: Turn Left)
