Bio: Maria was born in 1692 in the Caribbean, the daughter of a tavern wench and a pirate. She was raised in the tavern and hence was a far cry from a lady, having the mouth of a sailor and the body and attitude of a saucy wench. She made a living by singing in the tavern and selling her body to only the most prestigious and wealthy pirates. She has counted several famous and ruthless pirate captains among her lovers.
But one night a stranger came to the tavern and heard her sing. After talking with her she drew his interest and he decided to bestow a gift upon her. This stranger was none other then Alistair Blackmoore. Maria was reborn that night as a true creature of the night. She has followed and remained near Alistair ever since, traveling with him all the way to New York City.
She stays in a lower part of town, although she can afford much higher because of Alistair taking care of her bank account, because that is where she feels most comfortable. She sings and performs at a club called Tortuga. It reminds her of her old life and it's easy to pick up meals there.


Personality: Alistair taught her how to be a lady but Maria's sauce and fire never left her. She is far happier singing in a club then at a fancy party. She is loyal to Alistair but doesn't like it when he or anyone else tries to make her into something she's not, dress her up like a doll and make her act like a high-class lady. Really all she wants is to be accepted for who she is. But is Alistair asked her to, she would do it. She wouldn't be happy about it, but she'd do it. Giving her the gift of youth and beauty forever has made her very grateful to Alistair. There is nothing she wouldn't do for him if he asked.
Maria can be quite the flirt. She enjoys making men excited and then leaving them wanting more. It amuses her how easy human men are to manipulate. By the same token she doesn't really get along well with females, either human or vampire. But the ones who take the time to get to know her and try to understand her she can be a good friend.
