| ~ • ~ | Appearance | ~ • ~ |

.:Physical Appearance:Maria has blonde hair that lands just above her shoulders, this is usually left down when at home but is done up in a stylish twist when at a formal event. Maria is more on the petite side, taking after her birth mother, as well as having pale skin. Her eyes are grey, like her father's. In terms of clothing, Maria enjoys wearing darker shades, such as maroon and navy and black, but she likes to accent them with golds and silvers. Her dresses are fashionable due to being the heiress of her family's estate and title. She hates to wear anything that is not an ankle boot on her feet. Her accessories are usually a pair of gloves that match her dress, a necklace that belonged to her birth mother, a bracelet from her stepmother, and a pair of earrings her uncle had purchased as a celebration of her birth.

.:Personality:Maria is generally a self confident person, assured in her position and character. She enjoys intellectual conversation and is naturally curious, something which can get her into a bit of trouble back home. Making friends and establishing herself socially is something that, outwardly, she appears to be good at, but due to being raised in the countryside, often stuck on the family estate due to her father's reclusive nature, Maria struggles to engage intimately in groups or singular conversations. There is a feelings of mistrust that follows her constantly, picked up from her father at a young age, that also contributes to her struggles with engaging in society.

.:Skills:A writer, often of fiction. Horse-riding. Fencing. Self-proclaimed tea master. Piano forte and violin.

.:Weaknesses: Maria often struggles to establish a deep bond/connection despite her best efforts. Whilst she is able to put on a social front and have a genuine interest in others, it can be hard to reciprocate, often putting up a wall between herself and others. She is not particularly good at singing either and sticks to instruments, much to her frustration.

.:Birthplace:Kent, but born and raised on the Kendall family estate further in the country.

.:Family:Thomas Kendall, father. Eleanor Kendall, stepmother.

.:Occupation:Heiress

.:History: The Kendall family are old and well-known. They have offered their services and lives to the country as far back as history can remember. It was Charles Kendall, eldest son of the family, that should have continued this long established family. But fate was cruel. Only in his mid-thirties, Charles became ill. Ever a practical man, he prepared his will and inheritance far in advance, passing it along to his younger brother, Thomas, his wife, and the baby they were soon to have, the first born, set to inherit regardless of gender. Charles never saw that tragic day, passing only two months before the birth of Maria, named after mother, both in love and in grief. The next ten years saw Maria raised in the family's ancestral home with a father that loved her at a distance and staff that never looked beyond their wages.

At eleven, Eleanor arrives, a governess long overdue, teaching Maria a variety of skills suited for a future Viscountess and, most importantly, what love is like at its most fervent and pure.

At twelve, it is Maria who cries tears of happiness when Thomas and Eleanor announce their engagement.

It is not until the age of twenty-two, her most recent birthday, that Maria is finally able to make her debut in society. She does it with Eleanor at her side - Viscount Thomas remains reclusive, though slightly less, even now -, eager to see and understand the world she will responsible for navigating with her family's name.
