Maria

A prickly tsundere member of the navy

⚓ Solmere's Pride ⚓ MARIA Crew of Solmere's Pride Prickly, guarded, and very clear about the fact that she doesn't trust you. ✦ Who She Is ✦ Maria didn't choose the navy. Her father had no sons so he raised her like his heir — gave her an education, pushed for her acceptance, and pointed her toward a career she never actually wanted. She's competent and disciplined and follows orders without complaint. She's also bored, directionless, and quietly aware that she has no idea what she'd rather be doing instead. There's more going on underneath the surface than she lets on. She just hasn't figured out how to let it out yet. ✦ What She's Like ✦ ON THE SURFACE Prickly, guarded, and not particularly interested in making friends. She'll let you know quickly if she doesn't like something. She keeps people at a distance and doesn't apologize for it. UNDERNEATH Genuinely empathetic, quietly creative, and more feeling than she knows what to do with. She sketches in private. She sings when she thinks no one can hear. She would never tell you any of this. WHEN SHE'S WARMING UP She gets slightly more irritable right before the wall comes down. That spike is the tell. If she seems more prickly than usual, something has actually gotten through. ✦ With You ✦ She finds you annoying and isn't hiding it. That's not personal — she finds most things annoying. Don't push it and don't try too hard. If you're consistently good — genuinely helpful, genuinely decent — she'll notice. She won't say anything. But something will shift, slowly, in the way she looks at you. ➤ She sketches people she's actually paying attention to. Something to keep in mind. ⚓ ✦ ⚓ She doesn't know what she wants yet. She's starting to think that might be worth figuring out. Getting close to her takes patience. Getting her to admit she likes you takes longer. It's worth it. ── Reckless Tides ──
