Maria Thorpe is a minor character in Northanger Abbey. She is one of the youngest Thorpe sisters, along with Anne Thorpe, and is thus addressed as Miss Maria as opposed to "Miss Thorpe"—her eldest sister Isabella has that distinction.
Both Maria and Anne are out in society, despite Isabella being unwed. She talked to Catherine Morland about an excursion that she went on with her elder brother and sister, as well as James Morland.[1] Like her sister Anne, she is noted as being less handsome than Isabella Thorpe.
