Fan Casting Maria in James McTeigue's Cowboy Bebop

Asimov’s loyal, desperate girlfriend, Maria is a woman trying to buy their way off a dead-end asteroid with a black-market pineapple worth sixty thousand woolongs. She is not a fighter, not a schemer—just a woman in love with a man who is falling apart. She pulls a gun on Spike and misses. She watches Asimov die. And then she disappears from the story, another casualty of the Syndicate’s endless war. She never even got to taste the pineapple.
