Maria Custard

Profile
She was one of the apprentices of Rakishisu, and was known as one of the Four Witches of Custom, specializing in water magic. Ever since Rance saved her in Rance 2 (and took her virginity), she has been in love with him.

The events of Rance 2 caused her to lose much of her magical powers. Instead, she turned to the technical side, and worked on various technical inventions. She's the creater of the Tulip series.

She runs the "Maria Factory" in Custom, helping with the restoration of the town after the events of Rance 2. She was also the leader of the Custom Defense Force against the Helman invasion of LP0003.

She and Masou Shizuka are extremely close friends.

As the inventor of Tulip #1, she is worshipped as a goddess by the people of the Tanegashima House.

Appearances
She appears in Rance 2, Rance 3, Rance 4, Rance 6, Kichikuou Rance and as a foreign ally in Sengoku Rance.
