Role - Major

Maria is the queen of the nation of Curse Magic, Wolf's Reach. There has been a stigma gathered around Curse Magic, that the users of it are all cruel and unfeeling, which can sometimes result in them being less trusted by the world. Maria is someone who has given into the stereotype by way of a self-fulfilling prophecy, the sort of "You want to see me that way? Fine that's what I'll be" mentality. She is very unwilling to interact with those outside of her nation in majority of matters, and has the mentality that those of Wolf's Reach and The Guild (another nation with an oft looked down upon magic type) are the only people she can rely on. This, along with its size and population has made Wolf's Reach one of the nations he fears may start a rebellion the most. She is also unfortunately, not a great ruler because of this. She often gets lost in her desire to prove the power of Wolf's Reach, putting resources into weapons research and war rather than food and infrastructure. This has made the people dislike her... looking instead to her daughter Serenity who seems to be far more competent with ruling. Maria even acknowledges this, asking Serenity for advice on many matters. She is a caring woman should she grow to trust you, but through years of brutal treatment and distrust, she's grown to hide this side of herself from nearly everyone that isn't family or a close ally.
