Maria is the sixteen year old daughter of former Speaker Tera and the Abbot of the church in Machecoul, Emmanuel. Emmanuel also turns out to be a Forgemaster (though of a different kind than Isaac and Hector in the original series).
Growing up in France during the very beginnings of the French Revolution Maria wholeheartedly embraces the revolution itself. She's seen the harsh effects the greed and lavish lifestyles of both the aristocracy and the Church have had upon the peasantry. She holds no love for the Church so don't be surprised if you hear her talking very disparagingly about it. She believes in personal freedom above everything else and is extremely headstrong and passionate about it.
Abilities: * Swordsmanship Skills. Maria is pretty good with a rapier as well as a dagger! She shows little hesitance in putting her blade through vampire's hands or even faces. * Summoning. Maria is a witch whose abilities are still developing. At present in canon she can typically summons three of the four Celestial Guardians of the Chinese Zodiac -- Byakko (the white tiger), Suzaku (the vermillion bird) and Genbu (the black tortoise). Here in Escordvi her summoned familiar will be different aside from the birds she can create with magical energy. She typically summons these familiars via portals.
* Escordvi Abilities. I sort of wanted to pay homage to her mother Tera by giving her either Fire or Ice abilities. Think somewhere along the lines of what Sypha had in the first series since Maria's mother was also a Speaker. Naturally Maria's won't be quite as powerful but it's a good starting point. I'm leaning towards Fire if only because it suits Maria's own fiery temperament, haha.
PLANS
General: I sort of want Maria to get the chance to do normal teenager stuff. She's been leading secretive revolutionary meetings and fighting vampires, she hasn't had time for downtime things really. Maybe see her try to lead something here as well? Oh and learning from other magic users!
MANTA Board: FIRST OFF, Claws & Companions is a yes from me. Pretty much everything in General (Spellbound Circuitry, Thinking with Portals, Leap of Faith), in particular A Healing Mixup as well. I'm also keenly interested in Gallow's Gambit. Event: I'm definitely topleveling to the open log. No real plans just yet, open to them!
CR Dreams: Oh gosh ... people who will help her process her mother's "death", people who will learn their Escordvi magic as well as other magic alongside her. Vampires to teach her not all vampires are bad? Friends her own age! Maybe crushes, idk? I'm just looking forward to how she grows!
