Maria (Lean on Me)

Maria is a cute, sweet little girl, but one who stands up for Joe at the end in Lean on Me.

She was played by Karina Arroyave.

While her heroic acts were short in the movie, it's the impatience defense she gives on Clark's behalf that earns her a heroine status: "That's right. He chained those doors to keep out the drug dealers. You're twisting the law. The laws are made to protect the people. That's what he's doing for us."
