María Navarro Becerra

* Season 1
* Season 2

**María Navarro Becerra** is a teenager who lives in Lalin. She's a classmate of David, Tobias, Felix and Lucía, and a close friend of Lucía and Noemí. She is suspected to be a vedoira or another supernatural being.

## Appearance

María is a short and thin girl. She has orange, long and wavy hair, thick and small eyebrows and big brown eyes. María also has freckles all over her body and at least one of her ears is pierced. She also has a tooth gap.

She is often associated with the color orange, because of her hair color. Her Season 1 outfit consists of a green and white baseball jacket, a pink and white top, dark jean shorts, and red sneakers. In season 2, she wears a white striped top with brown overalls, and a yellow cardigan and yellow sneakers. As well, she wears her hair in low pigtails tied with white ribbons.

## Personality

    María is an enthusiastic, cheerful and energetic girl who seems to enjoy theorizing things and talking about serious topics like the murderer of Lalin or the rotten hand, claiming that she wanted to see it.

She's usually seen with a smile, and has a childish but bright attitude toward any situation, over-hyping so much about things like a fight between reptilians that even David had to remind her that they were talking about someone who died. However, María doesn't do it with malice. She describes herself as a clumsy person, as it seems when she says to Cody jokingly that he's more clumsy than her.

It seems like this cheerful and aloof personality is a guise for something much bigger. Maria acts much less childish around Esteban, complaining about Uxio's attitude and stating "Man, stop trying to control me. I'll do whatever I want."

Maria enjoys playing online with her friends and rollerblading. She also seems to enjoy detective shows. When under stress due to the drama between David and Cody (specifically Cody scolding David for trying to help him, and David freaking out after discovering that Cody has eaten humans and killed people), Maria crosses her hair in front of her face.

## History

As of season 1, there is nothing revealed about María's background other than that her parents are 'away'. She is also aware of the blue butterfly.

Two years ago, Maria would be one of the spectators of Felix's fight with his former friends.

## Lalin's Curse

### Season 1

María first appears in Lalin's Curse in Episode 7 alongside Noemí, playing a game called "Rabbit Online" and talking about David's investigation with his friends. She asks if the group was still investigating, to which David said no. María advises him not to go to the forest ever again.

The next day at school, María runs towards her friend Lucía, grabbing her arm with excitement as she drags her to the boys who had a photo of the decomposed hand. They meet Tobias and a gloomy David, asking if David was okay. Noemí, Cody, and Eric arrive, and Eric states that he wants to show this recording he took. After watching the footage, María asks if it was a person or a demon. Eric then talked about how it could connect to the scale Tobias had. María is the most excited about this entire situation, coming up with theories about the scale and the hand.

The group splits up and goes to their own classrooms, Eric secretly sneaks next to María, trying to get into her class without getting caught and is followed by Cody. During class, María calls Eric to come to her table and show them what he found, to which he gladly accepts. Tobias shows them the scale, and Eric points out that the scale looked bigger in their group chat. María interrupts him, angry because they had a groupchat without the girls. Eric shows them the photo of the decomposed hand, and María states how incredible the hand is but disgusting at the same time.

        María doesn't appear in the webtoon again until Episode 23 where she greets her friends goodbye and takes her leave after school. Later on she is shown rollerblading home as she comes across David in the forest all injured with scratches filling his body head to toe. She asks what happened and why he was hurt, and he explained how he was struggling to get out of the forest. María laughs about how he's just as clumsy as her. However David said the situation wasn't a joking matter and started to say how him and Felix were getting kidnapped and drugged by 2 kidnappers, but then got saved in the process by the demon. María stood there in complete shock while processing everything exclaiming there's too much information. She then asks if he could come to her house so he could explain what happened and so she could treat his wounds while he's there. David agrees and they head towards her house. As they arrive there, María searches for the disinfectant while David cries out loud about how he left Felix alone. María added on asking if they should call the police, David interrupts her yelling that they can't by how suspicious the Chief is. She questions why the Chief would be after him, as David responds with "Because I have shiny eyes!". María paused for a moment by how unrealistic that statement was. She proceeded to lean forward to David's face looking into his eyes asking what he means and how the eyes looked perfectly normal. María told him to call his parents and take him home after he's done treating himself. David agrees but is broken off with a clap as María notices a butterfly on his head telling him there was a bug. He turns around but doesn't see any bug, María brushes it off and tells David to take care of the wounds first and then she'll walk him home.

## Relationships

### Lucía Castilla Perales

María seems to be very close to Lucía, being her the first person she looks for in the morning at school. They also share the desk. She calls her "Luzu".

### Noemí Roldan Segura

Although they go to different classes, María is a good friend of Noemí: they spend time together at recess along with Lucía and play online games together.

### David García Martínez

María seems to understand David's passion about paranormal stuff and theories, and reciprocate his enthusiasm. It is unknown if she really takes seriously the investigations they do or if she just wants to have fun, but until now it seems that she believes that something odd happened with the murder.

They also play games online along with Noemí.
