### Actor

Patricia de Leon

**Maria Navarro** is a major character in the 2021 Facebook Watch series *Woman in the Book.* She was the wife of Tomás Navarro and the mother of Lily, Ricardo, and Daniel Navarro. After becoming possessed by Christina Navarro's vengeful spirit, Maria attempted to kill her infant son, Daniel, before being stopped by her husband Tomás. In the fight Maria killed her husband and then slit her own throat.

She is voiced by Patricia de Leon.

## Physical Appearance

Maria was an adult Hispanic woman with dark-brown eyes and shoulder-length black hair that she kept in a ponytail. When she was being controlled by The Woman, her eyes would turn a pale green-grey color.

## Characteristics

There has not been enough of Maria acting candidly to discern her personality. If the family pictures are to be believed, Maria was a happy woman who loved her husband and children, and had good relationships with all of them. After opening the family history book and releasing Christina, Maria became more tense and fearful.

After her death, rumors began to circulate that Maria had gone insane due to something in the house.

## Background

    Some time in the mid to late 1900s, Maria married Tomás Navarro. They had a son named Ricardo in the late 1980s and a daughter named Lily in the early 1990s, and later another son named Daniel in 2003. By all accounts, the Navarros seemed to be a happy family who cared about one another.

One day, Maria found the Navarro family history book and opened it, nearly releasing the tormented spirit trapped inside. She was able to shut the book before The Woman could escape, but she began to have strange visions, most notably ones of her taking her son and drowning him in the lake outside the hacienda. Incidentally, her infant son wouldn't stop crying after she opened it, leading her to believe that the woman she saw was affecting him somehow. Despite Tomás's reassurances that everything was alright, Maria's fears remained unassuaged. She took Daniel to the library to try and threw the book in the fire, only for it to launch itself out of the flames and open to the page of The Woman. Though Maria tried to shut the book again, The Woman was too strong and rose out of the book. The Woman then possessed Christina and forced her to take a dagger hanging on the wall, and made her go over to Daniel's crib to stab him.

Thankfully, Maria was able to fight against The Woman's control to keep herself from harming her son. At the last second, Tomás found her in the library and tried to wrestle the knife away from her. During the fight, The Woman forced Maria to stab Tomás in the stomach, killing him. As Maria cried for her husband, The Woman took control of her again and forced her to slit her own throat. Moments later, Lily and Ricardo entered the library and found their parents' bodies.

After Maria's death, her children were briefly placed in the care of Juana Salazar, the executor of the family's estate, before they were adopted out to various homes. Maria and her husband were buried in the hacienda's graveyard.

## Woman in the Book

### El Libro

In 2003, The Woman forced Maria to bring her infant son, Daniel, to the hacienda library and and attempted to make her kill him. At the last second, Maria's husband Tomás found her in the library and tried to stop her. While Tomás tried to wrestle the knife away from his wife, The Woman forced Maria to stab her husband and kill him. As Maria cried for her husband, The Woman took control of her again and forced her to slit her own throat, killing her. Maria's other two children, Lily and Ricardo, entered the library and found their parents' bodies.

In 2021, Lily finds pictures of Maria and the rest of her family. The siblings talk about their parents' deaths and Lily later has a flashback to the night her parents died.

### Seis Niñas Muertas

After The Woman chokes her, Lily insists that she's not crazy like Maria was. Later, Ricardo has a flashback to the night of his parents' deaths when he enters the hacienda library.

### Secretos de los Muertos

Maria is shown in a flashback telling Tomás about the visions she's been having and the "terrible woman" that came out of the book she opened. She later goes back into the library and tries to burn the book, only for The Woman to come out of it once more. The Woman then possesses her and forces her to take a dagger from the wall of swords to stab her son with.

### La Letra Pequeña

While Lily is trapped in the ink void, she sees a picture of Maria with her family.

After the restoration of the hacienda, Lily and Ricardo visit Maria, Tomás, and Daniel's graves with Lily's newborn son. They leave a bouquet of flowers at their parents' graves.

## Powers and Abilities

### Unique Abilities

* **Postcognition:** Like her daughter Lily, Maria seemingly had the ability to see into the past. This ability was presumably given to her after she opened the book that Christina Navarro was trapped in.

## Relationships

### Tomás Navarro

Tomás was Maria's husband and the father of her three children. The night that Maria attempted to kill Daniel, Tomás found her in the library and, not knowing that she was possessed, tried to stop her. When The Woman forced Maria to kill her husband instead, Maria was distraught over his death, indicating that she loved him very much.

### Lily, Ricardo, and Daniel Navarro

Not much is known about Maria's relationship with her children, but Lily and Ricardo, those who were old enough to remember what she was like, seem to have good memories of her and were distraught over her death. Daniel does not remember having a relationship with her, as he was only an infant at the time of her death, but Maria seemed to greatly care for her children, so much so that her hesitance to kill her son was enough to defeat The Woman's control over her for a few moments.
