Mariah

Mariah (マライヤ Maraiya) is a minor antagonist appearing in Part III: Stardust Crusaders.

Appearance/Personality
Mariah appears as a long-legged woman in a miniskirt and a hood. She wears white gloves, tights, and black leather shoes. Despite her outfit being rather revealing, she somehow conceals an impressive arsenal of bolts, screws, knives and other objects to throw at her magnetized victims.

Mariah comes off as a calm, cool-headed person. This might be a facade however, as she easily loses her cool whenever things don't go according to plan. She is subject to contorting her face and biting her lip comedically when she is upset or uncomfortable. She also possesses a very distinct laugh, an act she often performs whenever she has her opponents helplessly trapped in the magnetic power of her Stand. Mariah also seems to demonstrate either some degree of promiscuity or attraction towards older men, as she mentions that Joseph is very sexy and that she would have been his lover if it were not for Dio Brando being more attractive.

Stardust Crusaders
Mariah magnetizes Joseph Joestar and Mohammed Avdol with her stand, attracting metal upon them and even into each other, giving them all sorts of difficulties. During a very powerful display of tactics, she attempts to get Mohammed Avdol and Joseph Joestar run over by a train and even electrocuted. However, the two managed to outsmart her by maneuvering her in between them, and then having their metal-cluttered bodies slam into her, breaking her bones and deactivating her stand. She is later hospitalized and is unable to fight anymore because of her broken bones.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (SNES)
She makes a non-playable appearance

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future
She appears as a playable character with an style based on ranged traps, most of which were taken from her fight against Joseph and Avdol. Her game style is focused on middle-long range, keeping the enemy away with her moveset. Even without an active stand, her Bast no Jiryoku, when used right, can power up her Supers and even increase the range of the Gunbatsu no Ashi, making her a very deadly opponent. She's one of the only characters in the game to fight on a middle-long range, the other main being Hol Horse.

Trivia

 * Mariah is one of the special characters in Heritage for the Future that do not turn into a child when hit by Alessi's stand, she instead turns into the old woman that Joseph encounters after her skirt buttons fly up.
 * She is subject to some extremely comedic facial expressions when she is irritated, both in the manga and in Heritage for the Future when the Timer runs out and she has less health than her opponent.
