Assisted by several supporting characters, including a side-kick named Trompeto, and utilizing her own athletic fighting ability, Maria has become an established and well respected crime-fighting celebrity in Mexico.

[2] Ross created a story which featured more toilet humor than anything explicit and introduced a new "sexy" character for the anthology named Chesty Sanchez.

Much of Chesty's visual design was based on Mexican actresses, singers and pop stars as Ross had wanted to avoid the exaggerated and over-sexed images that plagued female comic characters.

Chesty's costume design was based entirely on the classic Mexican mariachi garb, with the exception of the domino mask which was intended as a nod to the aforementioned pulp figures.

Ross wrote the script for the planned three-part story-arc, which would feature the origin of the Chesty Sanchez character, while interior artwork was completed by Scott Michaud.

Chesty became a popular icon of the lucha libre circuit until allegations arose that she had been cheating in her matches and illegal drugs and dirty money where found in her dressing room.

One day while working at her father's store, Maria was approached by taxi-driver Pedro "Trompeto" Alvarez, who reveals that Frijoles de Oro is in need of her talents.

A cross-over all-text storyline with Ben Dunn's Warrior Nun Areala featured in Antarctic Press' Manganize,[5] revised much of the character's background.

[6] The story also incorporated other independent characters such as Richard Dominguez's El Gato Negro, Margarito C. Garza's Relampago, Carlos Saldaña's Burrito, and Laura Molina's The Jaguar.

She doesn't perform a lot of "high-flying" maneuvers (off of ropes and turnbuckles): A botched attempt at an aerial dive left Chesty with a limp that she has managed to turn into a swagger.
