Also, on the off-chance that Ma is not one or both of the Clockworker sisters, we at least know how she became immortal. Based on the narration at the beginning, sounds like it has to do with it being the Millennium Tree's sap, not necessarily Held's or Michaela's. I'd say it's the same.

Ma's going to be a tricky subject for a while now. The most popular theory on the Japanese side is the Elluka-Irina combination (or split personality) theory, with some thought being given to Ma=Eve theory.

I haven't checked on my usual threads since the novel came out (so I can't say what's the current buzz on the topic), but it seems we'll have at least one new element to consider in the future.
