Appearance

Maria wears her modified pink Fortunata uniform with pride, believing it to be a symbol of her loyalty to Arachnos that also expresses her individuality. She generally doesn't wear the standard-issue helmet so she can be recognized for her efforts unless there's a need to conceal her identity. ("Plus, why would I wanna hide a face this cute?")

Her casual clothing aims to be stylish and tends to incorporate reds and pinks.

Maria keeps her body trim and fit for her vanity and her duties. Her blonde hair is usually tied back in two circular buns. She favors red lipstick, black eyeliner, and light eyeshadow both on and off duty.

Personality

As the child of two Arachnos soldiers, Maria has been steeped in the organization's ideology her whole life. Thus, she believes that only the strong thrive while the weak are meant to be subjugated. She counts herself among the strong thanks to not only her mother's high rank but also her own psychic abilities. Because of that, she's confident to the point of haughtiness, often looking down on and insulting those she considers "beneath" her. However, there's another side to this confidence: her father's betrayal of Arachnos makes her believe she has to prove she won't be a "weak coward" like him.

Though loyal to Arachnos, Maria also aims to accumulate power and prestige for herself. She's more than willing to trod on anyone she needs to achieve that, but she'll also aim to make connections with powerful, important figures and anyone she could exploit later. She doesn't trust easily, so it's hard for her to make real friends. The few she considers equal to her have the best chance, but even they are not safe from a transactional relationship at best and an exploitative one at worst.

Maria strives to stand out in both her professional and personal lives, hence her custom pink uniform and her fashionable clothing. She cares a lot about her appearance and takes great care of her body, hair, and makeup. Despite her desires to prove herself and gain power and prestige, she hates "dirty" jobs that might mess up her carefully kept appearance. She will complain for hours if she has to go into the sewers for the nth time.

History

Born to a Fortunata Seer (later Mistress) mother and Crab Spider father meant that Maria was destined to be entangled in Arachnos's web from birth. Her childhood was largely dedicated to learning about Arachnos's history, purpose, and beliefs, which she was further exposed to in the Spiderling Scouts. Maria took well to these teachings, showing a propensity for taking charge and showing off her budding skills. When Maria was still young, her father betrayed Arachnos. She still doesn't know why or how, only that he was marked for execution for his crimes. Maria hasn't seen him since and assumes he's dead, which is fine by her; she doesn't want to be tied to a "weak, cowardly traitor."

Maria's psychic abilities fully manifested during her puberty, when she began dedicated training with her mother. At 16, she was enrolled in Arachnos's training program. Thanks to her mother's connections, she had top-notch teachers. Maria claims that her prodigious performance in training was all her own talent, but there are rumors that her mother had a hand in securing her high marks. Maria thinks they're just jealous. She became an officially recognized Fortunata at 18, when she also became involved with the now-defunct Tartarus Academy.

Mysteriously, her name is on the list of Kalinda's Destined Ones.

Affiliations

Family

Name: Chloe Lambert

Relation: Mother

Details: A powerful Fortunata Mistress from whom Maria inherited her psychic powers. Maria aspires to climb to the same heights as her mother—perhaps even higher. Though Chloe knows well that only the fittest survive in Arachnos and Maria needs to rely on her own merits to get ahead, she can't help but spoil her daughter a bit.

Name: Howard Wells

Relation: Father

Details: Formerly a Crab Spider, Howard Wells was found guilty of treason when Maria was a child. Maria hasn't seen him since, and all her mother will say is that his treason marked him for execution. Maria despises him for staining her family's reputation and thinks of him as little more than a coward and a traitor.
