That definitely looks more relaxed, but may I suggest an off-center pose if she's just standing there? No one stands perfectly straight and balanced. It's very common in 3D games for a character to have a weight-shifted idle pose when not moving, but it shows up in a couple of sprite-based games too.

Is an example of this.
The idle poses are the column on the far left. See how the pose isn't perfectly symmetrical, and looks more relaxed? You should go for that. There's probably examples of Maka's stance in the Soul Eater manga or anime, if you looked through it.
