## Toddlerhood

Maria's mother, Emma Lahtinen, had Maria when she was only 19 years old. Maria's father, Juhani Manninen, was 60 years old. Maria's parents got married while Emma was pregnant. It's assumed that Emma married Juhani for his money, and had more kids with him to stay together.

   As a toddler, Maria had the Wild trait. She lived in Helsinki, Finland, which was portrayed in the Sims by Windenburg. When she was one, her mother began studying Communications at university, but she studied from home so that she could also look after Maria.

Maria showed foreshadowing of being evil even in her toddlerhood - she bit her mother when she took her to get vaccinated, and when her parents asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up she said she wanted to be a gangster.

When Maria was three, her younger brother Miika Manninen was born. Her parents also got her a Doberman Pinscher named Dakota. However, a year later, Dakota mauled Maria. She grappled Maria's skull, cut her torso and cut off her hair, leaving Maria with a scar next to her left eye and one on her collarbone, and much shorter hair. This caused the two to hate each other. She released Dakota into the wild as revenge, but a homeless person named Lauri brought her back. Maria decided to keep Dakota, planning on using her to attack other people in the future.

## Childhood

As a child, Maria had the Kleptomaniac trait and the Whiz Kid aspiration. At the age of six, she bickered with her three-year-old brother Miika because he was playing with her toy. He backhanded her arm so she called him a douchebag, and he ended up whacking her with a rolling pin. This caused their relationship to go down significantly.

When she was seven, Maria's mother gave birth to her second brother, Konsta Manninen. Maria continued to fight with Miika frequently, with him impaling her leg one time. However, she was nice to Konsta, trying to get him on her side against Miika. She also befriended her classmate, Joni Makela, in the hope that he would be her criminal sidekick. Maria also began shoplifting, and she managed to shoplift a journal and got €19 for it at the pawn shop. She started learning Taekwondo when she was eight to improve her fighting skills and fight Miika back if he attacked her. At ten years old, Maria's fourth and final sibling was born: a baby girl named Salla Manninen. Maria became so notoriously bad that Max Villareal (the leader of the Renegades, the most infamous club in the Sims world) called her, wanting to hang out.

Maria started to learn the violin at age eleven and her skill quickly increased. She also began to shoplift more, and even steal people's packages from their front doorsteps. She joined the League of Adventurers at Max Villareal's invitation. She befriended a girl named Noora Lahtinen (not related to her mother) in Bitlife, and Clare renamed Elsa Bjergsen, Max's partner and friend, to become Noora in the Sims.

## Teenhood

As a teenager, Maria gained the Genius trait and the Public Enemy aspiration. When She was thirteen, she had the opportunity to have her first kiss with her classmate, Veeti Koskinen, but she wasn't interested in romance and ran away from him instead. Maria continued to engage in mischief with Joni, and also with Noora. At age fourteen, she was caught by a mall cop while trying to shoplift a Barbie Dreamhouse to sell at the pawn shop. However, she managed to escape and continued to shoplift. Noora asked Maria to be best friends with her when they were fifteen, and she agreed. Maria burgled her first house, where a stockbroker lived. She stole his laptop, his toy and his TV, and she got €10,133 for them at the pawn shop. She also began pickpocketing. She pickpocketed a tech bro who had €781 in his wallet, and she managed to get away even though he attacked her and snapped her thumb.

Maria started Secondary School at the age of sixteen, where she joined the Boxing Club. She attempted to join the Troublemakers clique in Bitlife, but they rejected her. A year later, Maria's father, Juhani, died after being shot and killed as a bystander in a bank robbery. However, this didn't affect Maria's happiness for long since he ignored her for most of his life. He left nothing for her in his will, leaving everything to Emma. Maria tried again to join the Troublemakers clique, but they rejected her a second time. After she called the leader of the Troublemakers a mistake, they beat her up. She also decided to ask out Joni, but he rejected her because they recently robbed an apartment together and he was mad that Maria had got more of the money. However, Maria bought him a Samsung Smart TV to make up for it, and after that he agreed to go out with her.

Maria started to get more evil and decided to kill someone for the first time when she was seventeen. She invited Victor Feng, the man who killed her father, to Magnolia Blossom Park, and impaled him. He died, and no one suspected Maria.

When Maria was eighteen, Joni wanted to take their relationship to the next level and Maria agreed. They woohooed for the first time, and Maria got pregnant. She decided to keep the baby. She needed money to buy a place to live, so she stole a Hyundai Sonata and sold it on the black market for €6,840. She got a mortgage to buy a small reinvented loft, where she moved in with Joni. Nine months later, Maria gave birth to a baby boy called Eero Makela. She was nineteen, the same age Emma was when she gave birth to Maria.

Maria decided that she needed to earn more money, so she attempted to join the mafia. After asking every day for a month, she joined the mafia's Colombo crime family as an associate.
