A pure-hearted or Token Religious Teammate character will often be named after The Virgin Mary. As Mary was the biblical Jesus' mother, Team Mom and other motherly characters are often named after her as well. Bonus points if the character dresses in blue, as in many countries that color traditionally feminine specifically due to its relation to Mary. "Mary" is the main English way of spelling the mother of Jesus' name, however, it is spelled differently in other languages (for example, "Miriam" and "Maria"). Despite appearing sparingly throughout the text, Mary is an iconic example of a nice and pure character. note Even though she doesn't get much characterization in the Biblical text; most of the traditional portrayals of her character and beauty come from theologians in the Catholic Church. As a result many characters are named after her. As common as this trope is played straight, it is often subverted as well. An evil or malicious character will be named "Mary" (or an alternative spelling) for ironic kicks, or double meaning, as the name also means "bitter" in the original Hebrew. As the Virgin Mary is known as such a benevolent character, characters that seem like straight examples but aren't aren't uncommon. Note, that the character must be particularly pure-hearted, religious, maternal, or otherwise an obvious Virgin Mary reference (like a Madonna Archetype) to count. A character just being named "Mary", "Maria", or a similar name is not enough. "Mary" is one of the most popular names out there and thus many characters are named it without any association to this trope. Often goes hand in hand with Virgin in a White Dress. Compare to Adam and/or Eve and Name of Cain for other religious-themed names. God help you if the character is named after "Bloody Mary" instead. See also Religious and Mythological Theme Naming. |

Stations of the Cross: Maria is explicitly named after the Virgin Mary, and she is the only member of the fundamentalist Society of Saint Paul to be shown not to be silent, dogmatic, or cruel. All she wants is not to sin and be closer to God, but she struggles in a life where her infant brother is sick and underdeveloped, and like Mary with her son, she cannot bear to see her little boy suffer. | |

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: Marie Belmont takes the French equivalent to Mary because, well, she's a pure and Heavenly woman who advises from the glory of Heaven. Her living husband is motivated by her goodness, and his name is even Gabriel, the name of the angel who announced that Mary would give birth. | |

Story of Seasons: Maria from the original Harvest Moon is most likely the most religious non-priest or nun character in the franchise. She is deeply devoted to the Harvest Goddess and spends much of her free time at church. In Harvest Moon: Magical Melody the town has no church due to plot reasons. Maria was thus made into a librarian. Despite the change in occupation, a large number of Maria's quotes related to her religious beliefs. Maria dresses in a blue dress as well. Maria's granddaughter is not as religious as her grandmother, especially after her initial appearance, but is still more religious than most. She is named "Marie" in Japan, "Maria" in Harvest Moon 64, and "Mary" from Harvest Moon: Back to Nature onward. Like her grandmother, she dresses predominantly in blue. |

Symphogear G goes double-Biblical with Maria Cadenzavna Eve. Ostensibly the daring leader of the villains and reincarnation of an evil priestess (complete with a Creepy Crosses motif), she's actually an insecure, kind-hearted person serving as The Face of the group, who cares for her teammates like a mother and regularly fails to do anything evil. Once she joins the heroes and doesn't need to keep up the charade anymore, she switches from her red and black outfit to a white one with cyan accents. | |

Supernatural: Subverted. The deceased matriarch Mary Winchester is initially treated as the patron saint of the Winchester clan, the reason they do what they do, and their motivation to carry on in moments of extreme adversity. However, as the series carries on, the question slowly becomes how well did any of them know Mary. Her secretive past turns out to be the source of much of their strife and the reality of who she wildly diverged from the Winchester men's nostalgic idealization of her. | |

Mary Magdalene: Certainly not a deliberate reference to Mary, Mother of God (who also appears in the film) since it was a common female name, but Magdalene is portrayed as saintlike in her compassion and wisdom, reinforcing this trope.

The kind, happy couple from The Seventh Seal is made up of a young child and his young parents, Mia and Jof (the Swedish transliteration of Mary and Joseph). To drive the connection further, Jof even has a vision of the Virgin Mary and a young Christ in the scene that introduces them. They serve as a representation of simple faith in contrast to the main character's existential doubt and fear. | |

Maria no Danzai: Maria Akeboshi deliberately invokes this image as the School Nurse: she allows her office to serve as a safe space for bullying victims, and encourages the students to come to her whenever they need her help, whether they are physically ill or need more... *ahem* personal advice. The students love her for it, and have taken to calling her "Saint Maria of the Infirmary". This means absolutely no one will suspect her when she goes after the bullies who killed her son. | |

Once Upon a Time: The "real world" version of Snow White is named Mary-Margaret Blanchard, a reminder of the fact that even in a world without happy endings, her soul is as white and unblemished as snow. The comparison between the Virgin and Mary-Margaret is furthered because the hero known as the Savior is the child of Mary-Margaret, much like how the Virgin Mary's child was the Messiah. | |
