Maria Verdosa

"--did I fucking stutter? I said you had to take care."

- --overprotective mom snsndnhd

You average overprotective but well-meaning mom friend, Maria Verdosa is the next Luisa from the Mexican tale The Greenish Bird.

Personality
From a first glance, it's clear that Maria (or Mama Maria as her friends jokingly call her) is very motherly. She will treat everyone as her "niños" and will be there anytime they need her. She just seems to have that mysterious ability to feel when someone is in need of comfort and to be by their side to help them. Maria takes her role as an (albeit only slightly) older figure very seriously. She won't allow anyone to be self-deprecating or to forget to take care of themself. And God forbid that you willingly skip a meal when Mama Maria is around. She will give you a full-on lecture about how eating is important and then she will whip up a complete meal just for you.

Along with her motherly and tender side, she also can become very fierce. If you harm someone she cares about... then you can say "hasta la vista" to your physical integrity. Okay, no, not really. She won't physically harm people but there will definitely be threats. She never really yells, she just acts menacingly sweet, and her Mexican accent gets a little thicker.

While she usually shows her emotions freely, Maria refuses to be seen when she's sad. She really wants to be perceived as a comforting, debonair mother figure and thinks her own feelings matter less than those of the people she loves. You'll never see her cry or say she's not okay. And if you insist, she'll just brush it off and say "Of course I'm okay, mijo! I'm always okay."

One of Maria's major problems is that she holds big, BIG grudges. And long grudges, too. If you've offended her, you can be sure to be getting death glares for at least a good two weeks.

Appearance
Maria is fairly tall, with a dark brown skin and thick, wavy chestnut hair. Her eyes are a deep green, and if you look closely you can see a fair few freckles.
