Lady Maria was a citizen of Cainhurst and is directly related to Queen Annalise. However, she was one of the first Hunters to join the nightly hunt, studying under you, The First Hunter to ever live.
At an unknown point in time, Maria forfeited her beloved weapon, tossing it down a well when she could stomach it no longer, and disappeared mysteriously into the Hunter's Nightmare.
Now, Maria resides in the Astral Clocktower, looking after the disfigured patients that reside there, and guarding the "secret" of the Nightmare, the entrance to the Fishing Hamlet, where the Orphan of Kos can be found.
She sits in a chair, seemingly lifeless until the Hunter tries to touch her. She then fights the Hunter, hoping to kill the Hunter to prevent them from learning the secret (or at the very least, scare them away).
