History[]

Maru is a "childhood friend" and assistant of Meru. They have been together for as long as they can remember before arriving in Pekopon. Just like Meru, she grew up from an unknown family and had no memories of her previous life on Maron.

Story[]

Maru first appeared alongside Meru, when they defeated the Kiruru. She appeared in front of Natsumi Hinata after they brought her to Meru. Meru scolded her about blocking his way, at which Maru bowed, apologizing.

Maru appears to be more highly respective of Meru, since she helped to protect him and his love of Natsumi, disallowing Keroro and the others from taking Natsumi back. Maru told Meru to hand over the Mare Ball and transformed her right arm into a sword/scythe and she battled with Giroro, after Giroro is about to hit Meru, Maru defended her prince quickly as she mention to Giroro not to lay a finger on her Prince. Maru quickly defeated Giroro and became Meru's subordinate. In one scene, Natsumi asked why Maru wasn't the princess since she was Meru's childhood friend. Maru said that's just what the prince thinks and she is willing to protect him. Maru is seen walking in front of the window as she watches Meru and Natsumi heading to the sea.

It is revealed that they do not even know her own species, since she was shocked when Keroro mentioned that she is a Maronian. After realizing this, Maru turned to support Keroro and the others a bit, opening the door to Meru for them. When Meru turned even larger, she floated in place, shocked, so she changed her mind to stop Meru instead and defended Fuyuki Hinata and the others from getting killed instantly by Meru's arm cannon, saying Natsumi has her precious family.

As Maru came to rescue her prince, she was easily sucked in. After Natsumi and Keroro seen the two, she was seen unconscious and holding hands with Meru. While being rescued by Natsumi, Maru sheds tears in happiness. After heading back to the surface, Maru gain consciousness, and Natsumi transferred her tiara to Maru, becoming the new princess of Maron. Maru begin to hold hands with Meru, as they head back to Maron in their spaceship.
