Appearance
Her original character design by Rail (Silverbow) portrays her with long orange hair tied in a ponytail with orange eyes. She is shown wearing a tattered red-white cape, white gloves, a black tube top, black skirt, and black thighhighs.
Her rig consisted of four 406 mm twin mounts, two per side, with the magazines on the inner sides of turrets 2 and 3.
Her revised design by Chuzenji keeps the basic form and pose of the original design but is starkly darker in color, now sporting red hair and red eyes. Her cape is also changed to black color, while her dress now consists of a single black dress, a white second layer dress up front, a black necktie, black gloves, and black thighhighs.
Her rig now better reflects the real-life form, with her real-life cage mast and CXAM radar holding the two sides of the rig.
History
In real life, Maryland was moored inboard of Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor on the day of the attack and largely escaped damage while Oklahoma capsized from the bomb and torpedo damage sustained. Several of Oklahoma's sailors assisted Maryland's crew in the attack while Maryland's crew assisted in rescue efforts aboard Oklahoma.
Alongside Pennsylvania, they were the first ones from the attack to reenter active service, sortieing together during the battle of Midway as a standby force.
She participated in shore bombardment duties in the battles of Tarawa and Saipan before seeing action in the battle of Leyte Gulf against Nishimura's fleet. Later on, she sustained kamikaze damage on the same day as Operation Ten-go which put her out of action for the rest of the conflict. She was decommissioned in 1947 and scrapped 12 years later.
