{...A Brief History...}

Before Hogwarts, Maria grew up in an upper class family where she was neglected by her parents who didn't understand why any girl didn't want money or dresses. The blonde haired girl ended up secluding herself to one of the rooms in her whole house that enabled her to get away from the family she didn't fit into and escape into a new world. In this way, she found herself spending hours on end in the library where her nanny brought her milk and cookies from time to time.

After reaching the tender age of 11 and receiving her welcome letter, Maria found herself skipping off to Hogwarts in a search for an adventure of the kind she had read in her books back at home. Her studious mind set her apart from the rest of her family, especially in her sorting. The young girl also grew attached to the Hogwarts Library, something her family would never understand from her.

Having finished her Hogwarts studies with fairly decent grades, Maria set off to Muggle University where she ended up studying English Literature. This provided the young girl with the first, real experience with what it's like to be in the Muggle world and, having liked her uni life, Maria ended up applying for a job in a Muggle library in an attempt to pay off her student loans.

It was only as she was pouring over a book about magical creatures that she found herself missing her old, magical life where she was around people who were like her, in some sense. So, Maria ended up paying a visit to Diagon Alley. The notice of a job vacancy was enough to make the girl rush into the shop and apply.

{…Personality…}

Maria is, and has always been, a bookworm. Nothing satisfies the young woman more than pouring over different books for hours on end. And she could never grow tired of the dusty volumes she tends to surround herself with. This has made her grow a slightly strange attachment to some of her most prized possessions that no one else seems to understand.

From her time at her previous occupation, Maria has learnt to channel the extroverted side of her personality. Instead of hiding away behind some books like she normally would have done, the blonde tried her hardest to help those that needed her. Too much company around her isn't something she reacts to well, though.

Her slightly intelligent side has led her to believe that her opinion, and hers alone, is right. This might be a trait that she had gained from her upbringing and sometimes, the girl doesn't realise that she's being stubborn or that she's failing to realise that she could be wrong. Something else she hates is tight spaces. Just the feeling of being trapped in one space is enough to make her cower in fear.
