Here's the actual Final Jeopardy! Round called Fictional Characters Category. This guy wrote who is Marina Pappas instead of Maria Pappas from Arthur on PBS. She has her stutter. But Ladonna Compson is a tomboy who has fall in love with Marina Pappas. Final Jeopardy! Answer: SO WRONG!!!

The name 'Maria' was decided prior to the show's premiere, as were many other characters'. On the "Mr. Ratburn's Class" lineup model sheet from 1996, she is labelled "#2 Maria". Maria is likely named after her designer or someone who worked at Cinar at the time. The purpose of naming background characters was for the storyboard artists' convenience.

Her name was originally revealed to the audience in the season 13 episode, "MacFrensky", in which the name 'Maria' is visible on the student-of-the-month chart.

Besides the in-series revelation, the ARTHUR crew confirmed the name on several occasions. Replying to a direct question from a fan, the official ARTHUR Facebook page posted in 2012: "That's Maria. She's in my class at Lakewood Elementary." At the Q&A session of the 2013 New York Comic Con panel, Peter K. Hirsch officially announced Alex and Maria's names.

Maria's last name, Pappas, was revealed in "The Last Day", which first aired on PBS Kids on May 23, 2016. In the episode, the name "Pappas, Maria" appears written on a paper in a flashback sequence. The name was confirmed in "Maria Speaks", which aired a day later. This time, her name appears in dialogue spoken by several characters.

Ladonna is very outgoing and adventurous, and she loves to tell stories. She likes to take walks and explore Elwood City, although she's only been there for a short amount of time. However, she sometimes lacks confidence and doesn't think she's exciting or interesting, which caused her to lie about some parts of her life in Louisiana. She loves exploring in the woods. Sometimes when she becomes overexcited, she makes a high-pitched screech.

She loves cake; her favorite is king cake. She eats so much that her father sometimes calls her a "garbage disposal with legs". She can't stand beets, however; even the sight of beets upsets her stomach.
