Line 29:
Due to her upbringing, Maryann is very at home in the outdoors, and can thrive off the land easily. She is also skilled in hunting various sizes of game, knowledgeable of various kinds of wildlife, and is adept at rock climbing and skiing. She is also skilled at horseback riding, but doesn't really care for horses. She is also an excellent dancer (and has been in several Academy stage productions); during her time in the USAES ''First Academy', she was on the cheer and dance squads.
 
Maryann is 5'8 in height and '''very''' physically fit (she is an avid long-distance runner), with bluegrey eyes, wheat-colored hair that is naturally wavy, and which she prefers cut short. (Because of her level of fitness, she is the moat physically-capable member of [[The Alliance]] on occasions where their powers are negated (considering the level of fitness of the cadets, that speaks well of her.) She is pleasant but competitive and flirtatious, with a penchant for going after already-attached men (in a playful menner, unlike [[Sidney Simon]] - for example, she has never made any overtures towards David Allen). She is majoring in Civil Engineering (with a minor in Architecture), and is highly skilled in the art of 'lip reading' and American Sign Language. Maryann is also a member of the USAES [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quidditch Quidditch] team (as one of the Chasers), and plays on a LeMond [[Switch Tree Mark 50]] racing broom. Like David Allen, Maryann began taking 'Project Starseed' training courses as a Cadet Second Year. Maryann has also been a Cadet Ambassador for the Academy (like [[Rafael Vargas]] since she was a Cadet First Year, and has traveled extensively around the world representing the Academy.
 
During her internship year, Maryann went to Fort Bragg, North Carolina and completed paratrooper training; she is now authorized to wear the maroon beret of the Airborne Infantry and her 'jump wings'. She spent the remainder of her year with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; during this time, she wore the rank of Second Lieutenant. When Maryann returned to USAES for the funeral of [[Professor Richard Hiram Blumenberg]], she was allowed to wear her active-duty U.S. Army dress uniform and beret as a sign of respect (as the other members of [[The Alliance]] were also allowed to wear active-duty attire; [[Julia Carlyle]] wore civilian clothing and her provisional F.B.I. Special Agent badge with a black band around it).
