[hr][hr][h3][b][i][color=lightgreen][center]History[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3]
[b][color=lightgreen]Your First Walker Encounter:[/color][/b] Maria had just finished her third semester at Chatham University which was the college she had chosen to go to. Maria drove all the way from the city of Pittsburgh to Zelienople to take the next couple of weeks off and spend some time with her father, since her mother and sisters were living in the city and saw them pretty often. When Maria got to the family farm it was rather deserted, and usually there was someone working out in the fields or in the barn.

She spent about thirty minutes walking around the farm, and decided to check inside the house when Maria entered the family room that's when she saw her father fending off one of the farmhands. Seeing the wound on his arm, and her father distracted by the entrance of his daughter the walker farm hand suddenly bit into Maria's father's neck. Doing the only thing Maria could she headed into the kitchen there was a cooking knife on the counter and quickly went to her father's aide and stabbed the walker in the back of the head. 

Maria was shocked and scared seeing and witnessing what had just happened her father was in complete shock now and loosing blood and tried calling 911 only to hear that emergency service lines were completely busy. Maria quickly tried her best to stop the bleeding and then he died a five minutes later, Maria quickly tried calling her mother and sister but the lines were busy. Then her father came back, Maria tried to talk to her father but nothing she could have done to help him, and he lunged towards her the knife was still in her hand and in defense she stabbed her father in the head.  Maria quickly grabbed her father's compound hunting bow and left to go to the city to look for her mother and two sisters

[b][color=lightgreen]]History Before Outbreak:[/color][/b]

[color=lightgreen][/color]Maria was born as the oldest in her family, her father owned a family farm outside of the town of Zelienople and her mother growing up on the farm from the age of seven when she was old enough she would take care of the farm animals, they owned four cows, five horses, ten sheep and about thirty chickens. Maria actually enjoyed working side by side with her father, when Maria was around the age of thirteen her father decided to take her out on their first hunting trip. He had bought her a bow her first kill was a white tailed deer, but when Maria was fifteen years old her mother and father started arguing constantly until eventually they filed for divorce. Maria had a choice to either live with her father or her mother, but she chose to stay with her father since they were closer and Maria was old enough to choose which parent she wanted to live with.

Maria was still close and saw her mother and sisters quiet often, when high school came around Maria did very well always getting A's and B's and the occasional C here and there. Maria eventually graduated from high school, and she went to Chatham University in Pittsburgh living in an apartment she would be able to see her mother and sisters fairly often. She got a part-time job at a retro diner in the city that sold mainly breakfast all day and worked there usually during the evenings while she went to school in the early morning and afternoon. Maria would also always visit her father as well during breaks or in between semesters.

College life was harder then high school was for Maria, but she still got good grades and managed to make quiet a few friends and she would spend time when she wasn't busy with either her part time job or school work. Maria also took some classes and learned how to speak Spanish she is fairly fluent with it. Then Maria finished her third semester of college and went back to her house to visit her father.

[b][color=lightgreen]History Since Outbreak:[/color][/b]

[color=lightgreen][/color]After what had happened to her father she quickly drove towards her mother's house where she and her sisters were living, as she turned on the radio to see what was going on Maria could hear riots already going on in Pittsburgh. Usually the drive was about thirty to forty minutes it ended up taking her about two hours to get there. When Maria was finally at her mother's house she was glad that they were actually home, and she told her family what had happened though she left out the part what she did to her father. As the riots in Pittsburgh got worse. And the city went into Martial Law and they were told to stay in their houses while things got under control. Later on that night power was shut off, and eventually the National Guard and military came in the day later.

The military and national guard had set up a safe zone around Heinz Field, and PNC Park telling the people that it would be safe there Maria, and her sisters and mother grabbed what they could and headed over there. Then things started to settle down and they stayed there for six months, until a horde of walkers managed to break through the gates. In the ensuing chaos Maria's mother and one of her sisters were killed by the walkers.

Devastated Maria and her sister though managed to get away with a small group and started to head south, they went through Virginia, the further they went south they would occasionally lose people until it was just the two of them alone. Near the boarder of North Carolina and Georgia, Maria and Kristina came across Lorna Dunn alone in a gas station. Lorna was struggling with a group of Walkers, doing the right thing Maria quickly drew out her bow and launched an arrow at one of the Walkers while her sister took out another and Lorna finally taking out the last one. They quickly became really good friends, and since then Lorna has been with their group.

As time went on their group started growing, then they met Richard Johnson he quickly convinced Maria to let him into their group much to Kristina's and Lorna's concerns they needed more muscle in the group and Maria let him in. A month passed, and their supplies were running very low Lorna suggested she and Richard go on a supply run. They were outside the small city of Gainesville, Maria and Richard could see a restaurant and decided to check it out for supplies.

That's when Richard who had his eyes on her since they met made his move on her, of course Maria didn't want that and quickly fought back which caused the attention of Walkers. Richard seeing the group of Walkers coming in quickly shot Maria in the leg, causing a grazing wound though not deep enough it was enough to slow her down. As the walkers got closer and closer Maria barely managed to get through the back door, seeing a dumpster nearby she quickly climbed inside just as the walkers started surrounding it.

About a day went by and Maria finally climbed out of the dumpster and slowly started making her way back to where her camp was only to find that it was all gone, and the group had moved on. Separated and heartbroken Maria traveled alone for the next few days before coming across James Grady, who had offered her a place to stay. Which she quickly said yes to and moved into the Newnan group, since then Maria had stayed there for the last three months contributing to the community and aiding with their agricultural and livestock needs becoming a real asset to the community.

Three months later Maria was reunited with Lorna and her sister Kristina, then word came of an attack on Newnan and they had to scrub their supply run and head back to Newnan. They managed to make it through the inner walls, to defend the town, after witnessing the loss of Leann, Lorna, Caesar, Vivian, and Alicia. Maria tried to get out and help, just as quickly as she left she was bit by a walker just below the shoulder. Taken back to the infirmary for the new Doctor Victor to amputate Maria's right arm, sadly due to blood loss she passed away leaving Kristina alone to fend by herself

[i]"Four months ago before being separated from my sister and Lorna we have been through thick and thin together and we have each other's backs no matter what, I also may or may not have developed some feelings towards her before we got separated. I also asked her to watch over Kris in case anything happened to me. I wish I was there to save you Lorna, i'm so sorry.."[/i]

Maria was apart of another group with her and her sister when they got separated from their original group Maria and Kris came across Lorna in a gas station near the boarder between North Carolina and Georgia. Maria and Kris saved her and ever since then the three have been traveling together until Maria was separated from them and eventually brought to Newnan. They were recently reunited again and quickly taken back to Newnan only to find it being attacked by the Edens. Maria is still trying to wrap her mind around Lorna's death, and now has to comfort her sister and deal with her arm missing.

But she is in good hands with Lorna and trust and hope she is doing alright. I'm truly happy that my little sister is still alive after what had Richard done to me, Lorna kept her alive and i'm truly grateful for her for doing that. I know that she is in a better place now."[/i]

Maria and Kris are sisters, they are very close and the only surviving members of the Smith family their bond is inseparable and nothing would be able to break it. They have recently been reunited during a supply run for Newnan, they have a lot of catching up to do.

[i]"When I first met Leann she seemed really scary and a real hard ass, but as time went on while being in Newnan for the last three months she is actually a good person. You just need to be there at the right time I guess. She also spends a lot of time out in the fields tending to the crops which helps. Leann was a great leader, she did not deserve what had happened to her."[/i]

Maria and Leann have a mutual respect for one another, she has taught Leann a little bit about farming and how to tend to crops due to her background and growing up on a farm with her father. Maria respected Leann greatly and wished she wasn't shot.

When we go out on runs or go hunting together we tend to banter with each other, and we sometimes have little competitions on whos the better shot and what not. Though I have learned to never compare her to her brother Sid one time she didn't talk to me for a week because of it until I apologized. All in all shes a great person and friend to hang with. I do miss my sister a lot and the two remind me of her and me sometimes."[/i]

Maria and Meghna the two get along really well with one another and Maria will usually go out on runs or hunting with Meg. She trusts her quiet a bit and the two are good friends with each other.

[i]"James Grady, what is there not to say about our resident eccentric boar wrangler hes funny as hell he for whatever reason prefers being called "Black James". He has tried to hit on me since day one, but I don't role that way. We are great friends, we go out on runs together and hunting as well when Meg isn't available to go I will go with him. My dad has sometimes told me stories of some black man who could single handedly wrangle boars somewhere in the south. I respect him and trust him to have my back no matter what happens."[/i]

James found Maria out on one of his runs, and was the one who recruited her to join the Newnan's and has been there ever since. Maria is close friends with him and also respects him as well.

[i]"That fucking dick! I regret the decision to ever let a man like that in my group, Lorna was right about him but I didn't listen and I paid a price for it. We were on a run just me and him, he suddenly jumped me to try and have his way with me, I fought back and got into a scuffle which caught the attention of walkers. He shot me in the leg as the walkers were surrounding us and he fucking left me for dead and took my necklace my father gave me! Luckily I managed to get out before I was walker chow.. I CANT BELIEVE THAT BASTARD IS STILL BREATHING!"[/i]

Maria and Richard didn't leave on a good note after he left her to die, she barely managed to make it out of the building alive. Maria managed to find a secure location and waited till the coast was clear and waited till she treated the wound he gave her. About a week of searching Maria came across James and was brought to Newnan, Maria still wants to put that nasty dog down for good but she can't.
