𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀. / some quick general thoughts on the og victim (game-wise)

First off whoever thought to kill and harm a girl with such a pretty smile and genuine heart? fuck you :)

Maria I see as being such a calm, gentle sweetheart. She is rare to get mad, rare to argue with others, rare to lash out. She is patience and kindness, thoughtful and seriously just big sister energy all around. She's the girl you would go to for anything and she'd either give advice, a warm embrace, or a shoulder to cry on - no questions asked.

She's the type of friend that, when she knows you like something, will keep an eye out for when she goes somewhere ( amusement parks, shops, etc ) so she can pick out a little gift. I'm sure these little mementos are kept so preciously by those she left behind.

Maria, being so avid with her photography and doing her best to carry her camera with her everywhere with as much extra film as possible: probably unbeknownst to her friends? she has SO MANY albums of candids of them tucked away carefully in her room.

So many photos of their gatherings, of their smiles and laughter, of their silly expressions and their memories together - all recorded and set neatly between album sleeves, with little scrawls of her handwriting next to each.

After all the dust has settled on the horrifying events at that damned hellish home, and her sister and friends are as far from it as possible; once they are well and strong again to finally meet up and take a gander through Maria's room ( sharing that precious moment of seeing it in the final state it was in when she last left it ) and they come across those albums? And all those precious memories flood back to them? And then they realize something heartbreaking?

There's hardly any photos with her in them.

She suffers from anxiety and sleep paralysis, often waking in cold sweats ( and secretly crying to herself when those moments become overwhelming ) and such a big part of her love for going out and photographing was to ease both of these. She hates worrying others so she has always had a habit of keeping her own upsets to herself to avoid causing concern to her sister or friends.
