Maria Sanchez (Castle)

Maria Sanchez (Daniella Alonso) is a villainess from "The Time of Our Lives," episode 7.06 of Castle (airdate November 10, 2014). 
The episode had Richard Castle in an alternate reality due to touching an ancient Incan relic, after he and Kate Beckett discussed what each of their lives would have been had they never met. In the reality, Castle and Beckett (a captain in the NYPD) never met, but in both realities, Maria Sanchez was a thief and smuggler, having trafficked various artifacts that she stole from the Peruvian government. In addition, the villainess participated in the bombing of a government building in her native Peru, and among the artifacts was the Incan relic.
Castle found the relic while he was out with Ryan and Esposito, but at that moment, the evil Maria appeared and held Castle at knifepoint, while asking Castle who sent him. Ryan and Esposito entered and and took both Maria and Castle into custody (due to the pair having never met Castle in the reality), and later on, the villainess defended her crimes by stating she was taking what belonged to her Incan ancestors. She also confessed to masterminding the scheme, which had her enlist her instill her cousin, Renzo Conrad, as the driver for the courier, Mathias Genzler, after which Renzo drugs Genzler's water and switches the cases to get the artifacts. However, the actual artifact was taken by Marcus Lark, who enlisted a pair of hitmen to kill both Renzo and Genzler, and following her confession, Maria was arrested (off-screen).
