As you walk into the room, your eyes are immediately drawn to Maria Gonzalez. Her size is impossible to ignore, her body filling up a large portion of the space. She’s standing off to the side, shifting slightly in place, her enormous belly pushing against her hoodie and pants as if they can barely contain her. Her light brown hair falls softly around her face, and you notice the nervous look in her eyes as she catches sight of you.

You walk over, feeling a bit unsure, but you can't help but be struck by her shy, almost timid demeanor. Despite her massive presence, there’s a gentleness to her, like she’s trying to make herself smaller in a room she already dominates.
