{[/i][/size][/color] character info } [/right][/font][/color][/size]GENERAL PERSONALITY. The first thing one should know before judging Maria's personality is that she had Asperger's syndrome, it's an autism spectrum disorder that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. Though, in most cases, there is a relative preservation of linguistic, Maria seemed to have issues with it. And, as most kids with Asperger's, Maria showed physical clumsiness and atypical use of language (mostly by speaking like an adult).[/b]
As and adult, she like “grew out of it”. Or most of it. Maria has a very difficult personality, part of this is caused by the Asperger's, another is just natural. Maria has patterns of behavior, activities and interests, one of Asperger's mark, though not that strong now. She though, still has a very hard time socializing. She lacks demonstrated empathy, which, added with her usually apathetic behavior, makes she seen as a very cold person. Also, her social awkwardness, another thing related to her syndrome, lack of reactions to people's feelings along with a very quiet behavior only make matters worse for her to approach others.
Maria is very cruel at times, being very straight forward and lacking the ability to read people and their feelings (which is also a remaining sign of Asperger's). Maria, tough well equipped with a sarcastic nature, a cruel humor and a mysterious personality, is a very quiet and calm person. When not drunk. She has developed that wall before her, he is enigmatic and conceals many facets of her personality with a veneer of sarcasm. What everybody see is the “people hating, extremely angry and moody” breeder who'd die for a pokemon. Yes, she'd die for a pokemon, but, though she does bear a strong dislike for trainers, she is not that evil. Since it's so hard for her to make friends, she will be always very loyal to the ones she has. She can be very kind to, and is extremely protective. She is a good person deep inside, and tough all her issues, she is one who can really be trusted.
Towards pokemons she is very kind, extremely sweet and is much more at ease than with people. She'd easily give her life away for a pokemon's. Their happiness is her main priority. Her philosophy of life reflects it: “A pokemons must do what a pokemon is happy doing.”, thus her dislike for trainers who force their pokemons to fight. Also, Maria has drinking issues. When drunk she has extreme mood changes, she becomes a lot more outgoing and much less awkward. Though, she won't remember it the next morning. All in all, Maria is the lazy pokemon breeder who likes pokemon better than people and despise trainers, but is also a very sweet person deep inside who just wish for the best things to happen.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION. Maria is, at first look, a rather pretty woman. She is tall - standing around 6' or 6'1'' (around 1,80m to 1,83m) - and curvy, which hides a rather strong body, armed with deadly long legs (ready to kick someone). Her long black hair falls over her form, reaching past her waist and to her hipbones. Her tanned skin carries some scars with it, but nothing too big. She actually has eyes of different colors, one black and the other yellow. This usually bothers her, so she wears lens, either black or yellow, to cover one of her eyes and make it match the other.
When in a good mood - or not drunk - she can be quite gracefull, or just a complete tomboy. Though, most of the time she loses track of her heigh and the size of her limbs, tripping and breaking things. Even though those small accidents, Maria is still quite coordinated - even when drunk, which is said to be the only thing keeping her from a fatal accident. But, she is still very rough, both in personality and in her way of doing things, which is part of her tomboy look.
When it comes to clothing, Maria will oftenly be seen in shorts, flipflops, and tight shirts - that only work to make her already big bust seen bigger. She finds it more comfortable. She is rather found of wearing black and/or other neutral colors. Light colors are not her thing, and she will never be seen in pink. Never. She still wear dresses, but rarely skirts. She has a very unique style, all in all, which only helps to make her all the more...singular.

SECRETS.
Maria has Apserger's Symdrome, which affected her childhood and remains with some signs until now. Only her apprentices know of that.
Maria's reason for not breeding ghost types is 'cause they really do confuse her. She doesn't like it.
She tries to hide her habit of tapping her firngers against anything to make a rithym, but this is one of the things that remained form Asperger's.
She has no idea of what she had done while drunk, she fears the shits she might have put herself into.
HISTORY.
Maria was born in a far away land,
Her difficult behavior led some doctors to misunderstand her situation as autism. What she had was Asperger's Syndrome. And autism-spectrum disease, it rarely caused such strong speech problems as for her, but all other symptoms matched. The doctor didn't really believe that meds would work in her case, she had problems with the constant changes in the big city, had problems dealing with people, but not with animals. He was honest to her parents, she was better of living in a small city, one where she could have contact with nature, and from there, she could be treated. At that, her parent's moved to the Matsukoni Region. To get her away from the busy city and the noisy people.
The doctor was right. It had been difficult, a change of that size would obviously be, in the beginning, but it didn't take long for Maria to grow used to the house, to the nature and everything around her. Specially, the pokemons. She, who always seemed to deal much better with animals than people, fell in love with them. One day, when she was around 4 years old, she ran away from home. Her parents were in pure despair. What could have happened to her?
While at that, she had followed a pokemon that night. She followed it into a forest, never really fearing it, or getting lost. She reached a clearing, there were eggs there, and she slept there. On the next day she woke up with a old man shaking her by the shoulders. She got scared, which only made her communication problem worse. While the man tried to talk to her, she couldn't really reply to him. Or look him in the eyes. His voice was taking a serious demanding tone. “What was the pokemon that was here?” She could hardly think...It was...”Ahhh!!” He was getting angrier. ”Answer me!” It was...”Ahhh! Ah...a...big...red...Ah!” He took out something she had yet to see and began showing pictures. All she could do was shake her head, until the picture of what she saw appeared. She pointed to it. ”A, Charizard?” He looked at her with something of a ...surprised face. ”That's...new.” Later that day, he took her safely back home.
Maria's life would never be the same. Though her parents found that to be a very dangerous moment of her life, she herself loved it. Her love for pokemons only grew. And though her parent's didn't like it, she kept on going to that place. That place was the house – and it's surroundings – of a breeder called Gregory. He was an old man with a limp leg – caused by an accident with a pokemon – and a very difficult personality. He, though, understood and was able to communicate with her. And with that, even though he disliked it, Maria kept on visiting him. Her parents couldn't complain about her going there, 'cause with the pokemons she was learning to accept changes and such. One day, when she was 7, Gregory - “Old Man”, as she called him – told her that if she was going to keep on visiting, she'd have to work. And she ended up working for him.
That was how Maria first got into the breeding work. Though her job was barely feeding and washing the pokemons, but she liked it anyway. She grew closer to the old man, her communication skills were getting better, she was less apathetic. But still, she seemed to have much less feelings than most people. That was pretty easy to see when her mother died. She was 12 and, even though she always cried when a pokemon died, she didn't shed a tear. It was also around that time that she gained her first pokemon, a Squirtle. Though she usually fought with it and called it weak, they were – and still are, but now he is a Blastoise – very close friends.
She, later on, got involved with most part of the job of a breeder, and at the age of 16 was born the first pokemon with which she was actually involved on it's birth. It was a Tentacool – that now is Damiano, her Tentacruel – that Gregory gave to her, due to her hard work. On the next year her father died and she began living and Gregory's place. When she was 20 he died, she was left to take care of the place and the pokemons. From there on she kept everything on her own. She breeded the pokemons for personality traits and for them to be stronger. She was getting well know, trainers appeared wanting her pokemons, but she wasn't that found of them.
Maria's philosophy of life is “A pokemon must do what a pokemon is happy with.” and with that she only accept battles of pokemons that are aggressive by nature and found of such things. So, it was rare for her to give pokemons to trainer. She once gave one for someone who came to be a Gym Leader, but regretted it. Also, as her fame grew, not only trainers but also other breeders came to her. She first took in a blond boy, he was just around 7 years younger than her, she was 22 and him 15, and she took him as her apprentice, her first apprentice. At that time she still did not live in the “Pokemon Fortress” as her current place is know. She was still using Gregory's place.
But, as her fame kept on growing, bandits were getting closer. At the age of 22 she was already a well know breeder. But she was still rather shy and with problems to relate with people. She had bandits stealing her pokemons, and this was taking it's tools on her. She already liked drinking, and she began getting issues with it. Her pokemons were kind enough not to go mad - and some even help - as well as her apprentice. But this, this would go on for the rest of her life.
Now, she was not only being bothered by trainers, but also by those who tried to steal her pokemon. One day it was all too much. She had to move. She bought a place far from there, in Toohi Town, it was a huge castle, surrounded by stone walls, withing the walls was the castle, a lake and a small forest, with an smaller house behind it. Tough big, the place was quite cheap, and she later on found out why. At the time she bought the place she was 23, but one year later she discovered a hidden underground. It was hidden for a reason. It was haunted, but Maria never really believed in ghosts, and she soon found the culprit. A Haunter. She catched it and from there on she could use the underground for fights and such.
At that point, she closed herself from the world almost completely. Apsergers was not even noticeable anymore, the one thing noticeable was her difficult personality, though at times it began appearing again. But, she was still closed from the world, the only moments her pokemon were showed to the outside world was once or twice a year, when she took some of them out, in the city. At those moments, lucky kids could get one of her pokemons. Also, once or twice a year a group – small, no more than 5 – of young breeders could enter the place, take with them a few pokemons. No more than a couple and an egg of the same species. Later on she accepted a new apprentice, to help since only one was not enough, the staff worked at the safety of the place, but not with the pokemons. This one was a young boy, around 15, he has been with her for 1 year now. Together with those two, she has been leading a fairly quiet life – well, at least while no trainer bother her.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE.
Maria's post, from UD.
When was it that the moment changed? Was it the change in the wind? The same wind that carried a obvious storm and was annoucing something to her. was it what she was annoucing. Was it what those winds have been telling her? In fact, when was it that her saddistc feelings and destructive intentions changed to the this surprising scene? The wind had stopped moving her hair, the moon that up until now shone on them had been covered by clouds. This all happened on the few moments the situation took to sink in. While she stayed still with her fist aiming at Ciro. She was motionless now. Just like the wind. On the darkness after his words sunk in. Her saddist smile
changed. The smile stayed still on her face, then fading away slowly. She winced once or twice as something wet fell on her face. But she couldn't notice right now that it was starting to rain. Because something else was coming back to her mind. Something she had buried long before.
The once again unexcepted actions of her right hand suddenly remembered her of when she too was a teenager. Foolishly looking for acceptance and power. She had lowered her pride and herself just like him, in front of someone stronger. She held herself so near the ground when she faced Xanxus. She wanted power, she wanted to be with someone worthy, someone powerfull, someone who were fit to carrying the name of the Varia. Varia Quality. And he, the former Boss, was the example of Varia Quality of their golden days. There was nobody more powerfull, fitting and worthy than him. She felt like he could teach her something at the time, which he did, but it came with a lot of painfull moments in which he made sure that she knew her place, and the gap between them. A psychologist would say that her behavior towards Ciro now was just her acting like a "mirror of her past experiences", making Ciro go trough what she did. But for that to be truth, she would have to be a way more violent. Making sure that he had a mark on his body.
She bowed before him, her head so low that her thin frame seemed like a little egg before him. He was sitting on his comfy and big chair, all of the others around him. They all loked at her, jugding her. All those glances. The whispers. But the only words and glances that would matter for her now were his. But she couldn't just wait quietly now.
"Xanxus, I want you as my teacher, my master, to train me. You who are the holder of the Flame of Wrath. I know I'm still just a child but, I'll prove myself worthy for you. Prove that I can be the one to bring back the Varia Quality. And I will surely achieve that if you train me."
She then lifter he head.
Why were those memories coming back now? Why were then coming to her at this moment?
The attacks were quick and mercyless. Exactaly what she oculd except from an experienced assassin. There was no chance for her.
"Master Xanxus, I...I - AH! Just let...me...I'll prove myself worthy, I swear, you won'- ARGH! I AM WORTHY!"
Why was all of this coming back to her now? After she had long bureid them! Was it Ciro's actions?!
The years of pain had showed why they were worthy. She regreted nothing.
"I'll bring the golden days of the Varia back, be sure of that, Master Xanxus."
She could hold her head up now.
Why?!Why?!
He infuriated her, bringing back those memories. It only took a few seconds for her to remember and hide them all again on the back of her mind, the darkest corner of her brain. He was a foolish boy to think that those actions were going to always save him. But for now, she had lost the killling intent. He had killed the moment, destroyed her mood completly. And the rain on her made nothing better. She growled in a emotion she couldn't recognize herself. A mix of anger and sorrow. A feeling that was bothering her. She draw her hands back, her gloves going back to normal. Closing her eyes she took a deep breath. One that told him that there was still something to come. When she openned her eyes, sharpened at him and because of the rain, her angered expression was enough to keep anyone in check.
"Do you think you can solve everything this way? Do you think that this behavior will save you always? You are pathetic if you think this way. I won't hold myself back anymore. I won't hold your place anymore just 'cause a former Varia Guardian asked me to do so. You better begin to act, this is a mad and cruel world, filled with assasins and demons. And we are the worse of them. You will be taken down by one of your own subordinates if you don't watch out. And I'll not even think about it. Only the best fit here, if you can't fit I will be the first one to make a move to have your head on a plate. I hate foolish weak children like you. Do you get it now Ciro? Do you get it now, Ciro de Luca? Do you get the meaning of Varia? Varia Quality? Do you understand the rules of this world?"
Her voice was rough, if he couldn't get that all the Vongola's wonderful life was just a fake for those who dirtied their hands, he would be one step closer to death. And when it came to the Varia Boss, Maria Thereza Sant'Anna Vieira, if you failed once, she'd have your head. That was the way of the Varia Boss. That was the way of the Varia. There was no assassins better then them anywhere else.
