## Out of World Info

Maria was supposed to be a side character, existing solely so that Belle had a twin. She turned into one of the most mature and in some ways intriguing characters in Trials of the Saints. Her relationship with Henry is steady and the serenity she has grown into fits her well.

## Appearance

### Simple Appearance

Maria and her identical twin, Belle, both have blonde hair and the same hazel eyes as Selena. She is petite, not much muscle, but worries about her looks too much. She is rather pretty, but she is often overlooked for her sister.

### Detailed Appearance

Maria Fourier lived in her sisters' shadows until she reached the sundered castle. She has a small, slight build unlike her sisters, who share a stronger and more athletic build. Her most defining trait is likely her hair. It is long and blonde, a warm golden shade that flatters her. She often has it pulled up into the complicated braids favored by court ladies, something she's become more confident about since meeting Henry. Her eyes are a warm hazel, the same color as both of her sisters'. There are flecks of green and gold that give her an intriguing look. She is beautiful in her own right, but was often overlooked for Selena or Belle when she was younger. This caused her some insecurity, but she has since matured beyond her childhood self-consciousness. Even if she hadn't, she's good enough for the king of France's cousin. She doesn't require anything more than him.

Maria's fashion of course reflects her time period. I'm not great at drawing medieval fashions, but she favors the simple gowns of the lower class over the court styles. They are easier to move in and she feels less bad about getting them dirty while tending to her plants.

## Background

### Childhood

Maria was born in 1251 in rural France. She was a few minutes older than her twin sister, Belle. She had a two-year-old older sister, Selena. Her mother was Celestine, a gentle and dignified woman who cherished her children, and her father was Alexandre, a hard-working and pious man with a warm smile and good sense of humor. All in all, Maria couldn't have asked for a better family, considering the time.

The family lived on a fairly large plot of land. Their lord was a generous man who took care of the peasants he ruled over. Their cottage was small, but it fit the family well enough. They had enough space for some flowers in their garden alongside the vegetables and fruits they grew to eat.

Maria was always good with plants. As soon as she was old enough, she loved to help her mother in the garden, even if "helping" was just picking up fistfuls of dirt and babbling nonsense at the plants. By the time she was four, Maria was helping with weeding and harvesting in the garden. She loved being outside and she loved plants.

Maria also loved her sisters. As twins, she and Belle were very close from a very young age, babbling at each other any time they were together. They played together often and Maria loved to show off her plants to Belle. Maria also admired Selena, who was two years older than the twins. Selena was fond of the twins and liked to show them how to do things like work in the garden. Starting when she was about six, Selena became a storyteller and Maria loved to listen to her weave fantastical tales late at night.

#### Heather

When Maria was six, tragedy struck. One of her father's sisters, Cateline, had died, leaving her fourteen year old daughter Heather an orphan. Alexandre and Celestine took her in without a second thought, giving their daughters an older sister. Maria loved her immediately.

### Adolescence

#### The Castle Behind Thorns

After being dragged into a fight between her sisters, Maria is lost trapped alongside Belle inside a castle surrounded by thorns. She brings a twin prince and princess back to life by mistake and falls in love with the prince, Henry, while all four are trapped within the castle's walls.

### Trivia

* Gator and I once drew a parallel between TotS and Hamilton and Maria was given the role of Eliza due to her getting Henry when both she and Belle loved him
