On the surface the her childhood seemed like that of any other farm girl but Maria's father had been something of a traveler in his younger days and his eldest daughter shared his curiosity. Maria never knew her mother, though her father spoke of the beauty of the woman he had meet in far off Avalon often. She knew she was different from her father children with his new wife but she did not think such things mattered much. Maria's father taught her to read and she nearly wore out the few books her father had collected in his travels, he taught her languages from the many places he had seen. Maria dreamed she would one day see the world--and then the war came. Maria's family was displaced and found themselves refugees. Tragedy followed tragedy and much of Maria's father and two of her younger siblings fell to starvation, banditry, and other dangers, leaving Maria wandering with her younger siblings. It seemed like months when they were found on a back road by Dona Carmencita Soldano who took the children in a fed and clothed them.<br/><br/>Maria's quick mind and knowledge of many subjects fascinated the minor noble and she continued the girls schooling at her retreat in Southern Castille. The Dona ran a girl's University there with a secret purpose. Dona Soldano  kept an eye on Maria for another reason, she felt she had the blood and passion which would make her a candidate for Sophia's Daughters. When she felt the girl was ready she introduced the girl to a new world one where a great lie had been fostered upon the world. But, Dona Soldono explained, the world need not remain that way. Maria's education grew as she gained a focus for the things she was learning about the world, about her blood and what it meant. Diving headlong into this new world, Maria came to understand something of the Sidhe and their mission to end the corruption of scorcery in the world . She learned about the horrible toll magic exacted from the world--at least certain magics. Maria took what she had been taught and set out to make a difference. With that in mind she headed north to see this place called Avalon which her father had spoken so dreamily of and a place where she knew she had a certain kinship.<br/><br/>Maria is bright and inquisitive and spends a great deal of time reading and honing the skills Dona Soldano had taught her. She is a simple girl with simple tastes who want to change the world with the patronage of Lady Soldano and Sophia's Daughter's.<br/>
