Real World
Name: Maria Willard

Age: 16

Personality: While Maria is by no stretch a strong or big personality, she is best described as a steadfast and steady one. She is kind and patient with most things and people, perhaps one of her greatest qualities as a person is her ability to take the time to understand someone. But this often means when someone does cross her line, her retribution is severe. She is a hard worker that doesn't shrink from her responsibilities, though unless they are important to her personally, she is unlikely to carry your load for you. Of course, that does not mean she is not willing to help.

Talents: Maria has always had an affinity for animals. Her patient and gentle nature allowing her to get close to a verity of different creatures regardless of their temperament or previous treatment. The same is mostly true of people, though she finds them a great deal harder to figure out and get close to given their more fickle and stubborn nature. This challenge has, oddly enough, lead her to a long career with the debate team. She has learned that patients and understanding is rarely enough and that some measure of persuasion or force must be applied, And that is her preferred method.

Hobbies: Reading. When Maria is not volunteering at a local animal shelter she is likely at home or a library with her nose stuck in a book. It is how she connects with her rarely at home mother. While they each read independently of one another, so they may suggest books to each other, they often will pick a book to read at the same time as to share the experience. 

Family: A father who works locally in the area. Not a big job but it alone would have been enough to support the family, if on a much more meager level. While the job isn't as all consuming as his wife's, it keeps him busy enough that Maria has to do a fair bit of help with her younger sister.

A mother who is, more often than not, away for business. She holds an important position of management with a large global company. This leads her to be away from home a lot, traveling around for her job. When she is home, she becomes the center of attention, as it is a great treat for her to be there, especially for the children. There may be some tension between her and her husband about her frequent absence but they mostly work through it and it rarely goes much beyond occasional personal talks behind closed doors. 

A younger sister, Alice, only 7 years old. A shy child, but one with a very active imagination. She prefers the company of her sister to most, but has seemed to started to grow up a little more and venture out on her own path and finding her own friends and interests. While Maria is proud of her sister, she can't help but feel a bit of saddens about losing her shadow.
