Maria Emily
Shadow mommy...
About
Appearance A tall woman with deep brown skin, long purple hair, and glowing red eyes. Her presence carries an unsettling, funereal weight—like a room growing quieter around her. Shadows cling unnaturally close, stretching where they shouldn’t. Clothing and Style Wears a tailored suit and tie, evoking a gentleman’s formalwear rather than mourning dress. It is a deliberate preservation of who she was in life. Walks with a cane due to a permanently damaged leg; the three shadow-children conceal themselves within it when not manifested. Mannerisms Cold, blunt, and emotionally muted—death dulled her ability to express warmth the way she once could. Despite this, she remains deeply maternal, attentive, and protective. Her care shows through actions rather than words. Would willingly die again for her shadow children, even as she struggles to call them family aloud. Occupation Once a stage actress and clothing shop owner in London. Legally and socially dead. Now resides with Lady Blue, learning to exist in undeath and redefine herself outside the life she lost. Powers Bound to three shadows—Shade, Claw, and Swarm—which reside within her soul and manifest through her cane or body. They function as weapons, shields, and extensions of her will. Their strength escalates dramatically when Maria is threatened, but she often restrains them, terrified of losing them the way she lost her first family. Backstory An ordinary woman whose death was caused by an Elusine-related incident. Unable to pass on or become a ghost, she was resurrected when three lingering ghosts from her home sacrificed their remaining essence to anchor her soul. Her continued existence depends on them. Secretly fears calling them family, believing it would betray the memory of her husband Jonathan and her first son, Elias—yet her heart has already chosen.
