Maria was born with a shriveled black arm and no nose. As a child she was tormented by the other children for her deformities until she discovered her latent magic powers and defended herself. She was then declared a witch and run out of town on threat of burning at the stake. Living alone in the Killing Savannah, she was discovered by the Count who offered to make her into a Hollow in exchange for spreading undeath across the world. She accepted and returned to Silent Dune where she began draining the souls of her former tormenters to create loyal Hollows.
