'me thinks she is but kinda' looks like a guy.
Like some people mistaking Ran (Kazemakase) thinking she is a he.
Yup, Maria should be a giveaway but i know some male anime characters who uses girls names....so..
Yes or no will suffice, no explanation needed. :D :D
thx

She's a chick with short hair that's alll if you read the manga, it potrays her that way. But it was kind of misleading first when she first showed up, I rememer saying to myself "Hmm.... short hair but kind a cute" And as I kept reading on, I had mixed feelings what in the hell is she!? But that has all been cleared up now...

I really hate to sound stupid... but who the heck is Maria Ross?
She's one of the two military personel assigned to be bodyguards/escorts for the Elrics while Major Armstrong is reporting to Headquarters.
Yup, she's definitely a woman.

This thread is hilarious. How can you not know for certain? The only times I'm not certain over a character's sex is when a guy dresses and looks female (like in Naruto; the child who hangs around the water ninja)

It might be hilarious to you but the fact is that forums like this exists so fans can ask questions, so they will know for certain something and to discuss and confirm anything about anime.
Pls bear in mind that not everyone is as knowledgable as you.
(in the aspect of male and female anime characters,that is..)
And Yebyosh is right, Ross along with Denny Brosh is assigned to escort the brothers.

Agreed. For example, I watched nearly 25+ episodes of Hunter X Hunter before I was truely certain that Kurapika was actually a guy. He is still damn effeminate too. There were still many times that I was convinced he was a chick pretending to be a guy though.

Yea, I wasnt sure if Maria Ross was a woman either...I was pretty confused but assumed she was a woman and assumed correctly. As for Kurapica in HxH I didnt have trouble figuring out he was a guy unlike many. :p

Thing is this thread is not about what kind of anime FMA is. This thread is about a character in FMA. Do you see the difference?

the name is a female's
Maria is used for males too :)
Not quite as often as for females of course and usually in combination with a less ambiguous name, like Jon Maria.
Well, it is a bit bumpy around the chest area, so that should explain a few t hings
Damn another anime has fooled me again on what sex a character is. For all this time I though Lt. Ross was a man but then in episode 23 they referred to Ross as "her" and I was like damn I was duped again!
Although I guess I should of guessed it back in ep. 22 when she hugged Ed and he was calling her his mom. I even remember having my doubts when the character was first introduced thinking it was a female but then saying nah thats definitly a "he".
Come on now guys fess up, who else out there was fooled?
It was pretty obvious she was a female... :heh:

Same here, it IS prettsy obviuos that Lt. Ross is a woman.
Just hearing her voice is obvious enough or not o_O?

I don't trust voices anymore after Haku in Naruto.

I must admit, that was a good point. ^_^
Well, and in my opinion at first sight, she doesn't look really feminine
Old topic :) Thread already in existence (easily found by searching for 'Ross' in the title). The http://forums.animesuki.com/images/buttons/top_search.gif (http://forums.animesuki.com/search.php?) button is your friend.
Is Maria Ross a woman? (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=7288).
Ah, what the heck, I'll merge the two threads together :)
Wow, I knew that she was a girl in the anime right away.
Who I DIDN'T know, and only found out in the Forums, was if Envy was a guy or a girl. Sounded like a girl to me, flat-chested though they be, and I coulda swore that was a mini-skirt... So confused... X_X
I don't trust voices anymore after Haku in Naruto.
The same goes for that guy in Peace Maker Kurogane.
But you know... The both voices for Ed AND Al are made by female performers. So is Naruto and most kids in some animes.
My guess is that the Japanese like having transvestites in their shows (Haku and Orochimaru's new body in Naruto, Souji in Peace Maker Kurogane and some more that I can't really remember right now.)
BUT... since Maria Ross is a female name (unless the names are backwards? LOL... Ross Maria) and when she embraces Ed, he says "mom?", I'd say that she IS a woman!
