"greetings, I am Lady Maria of the astral clocktower, citizen of CainHurts and the distant relative to queen annalise. i have also studied under gehrman, the first hunter, whom i admired, unknowing to his curious mania towards me. despite me being a citizen of Cainhurts, where they have studied the use of blood. i favored the rakuyo, which instead required dexterity and skill rather to wield effectively."
