Biography

Born to a poor Mexican family, Maria never really had a chance at a normal life. In an effort to make life better for his family Maria's father worked for the Mexican drug cartels. At first it wasn't so bad he was running errands for them and making decent money. Every night her father would tell her how much better their life will be once they make enough to get to America. Things seemed to be looking up for her family.

As the cartel used her father more they began offering him better paying jobs and that is when things began to get hairy. One night her father burst in their home franticly waking everyone up. Maria was just 10 years old but she knew to do as she was told and not complain. Her father claimed it was time to go to America and they had to go fast. Maria held her baby sister while her dad guided her mother out of the house. They made their way on foot towards the border and after a few miles Maria began to hope that they had out run whatever trouble their father was running from.

Her father looked back at her to give her an encouraging smile but as he did that a bullet caught him in the gut. Three men stepped out of the dry bushes of the Mexican border. Inside Maria cursed herself for not being more observant, she watched their rear making sure no one was chasing them but was too oblivious to their side. As the men approached Maria set her crying sister behind he defensively. The men immediately walked up to her father putting three more bullets into him and then turned to her mother. Maia's mother was paralyzed with fear as she blankly stared at the gunmen. They put a bullet in her head and turned towards Maria and her sister.

The rage building up inside was too great for her to handle she charged the men knowing she had to stop them before they killed her sister. She bit, clawed, punched, and kicked the closest man, the sudden ferocity of if all overwhelmed him and he wen down. Turning her focus to the next threat she charged again but this one was ready for her. As she charged he swung his shotgun like a club and with a sickening thud Maria was out cold.

When Maria awoke she was tied to a chair in a small dark room. She was told her father owed much to the cartel and since she had such spirit she would be "allowed" to pay her father's debt. In return for her working for the cartel they would allow her sister to live. She hated the idea of working for this scum but her sister needed her and they wouldn't hesitate to kill her. So she began working for the cartel, it was almost like an apprenticeship at first. She was only 10 but they saw that as an advantage, after all few would expect a 10 year old to be committing a crime.

As she grew up she learned much, the cartel were no better then animals and in order to survive she had to be ruthless. She loved her sister but that love was the tool that they used to control her, it was to late to deny that but she knew she could never display any weakness for them to take advantage of again. As time passed she showed an affinity for getting around unnoticed, even when not on jobs she preferred to not attract the attention of the brutal members of the cartel. Even when they did take notice she was an intimidating women, stronger then most the guys and her cold eyes made most of them back off. Life wasn't all misery, Maria found that fixing up her motorcycle was soothing almost meditative. It got to the point that if she wasn't on a job she was fixing up someone's motorcycle.

Maria never asked how much her father's debt was or if she was close to paying it off, she knew it was just lies to get her to work for them. She was willing to put up with it just to make sure her sister didn't have to. All of that changed when a new man took control of the cartel. He wanted to make a name for himself and Maria was known as the last bosses greatest accomplishment so he decided to take care of her and prove he needed no help from the former boss. He brought her to a warehouse claiming he wanted to meet her but the real purpose was far more dark. When she walked in to the warehouse she was greeted by a body on the ground, she knew instantly something was wrong. When she ran to it she rolled it over only to see the face of her sister pale and covered in blood.

The new boss came out shirtless and covered in blood, somehow Maria could smell it was her sisters and her rage began to boil. The boss laughed and explained to her that she was a weak pathetic women and he had no place for her. He told her he killed her sister to let her out of her contract. He smiled a smug smile taunting her as he referred to her sister as a mere bargaining chip. Maria couldn't take it anymore her world went red as a rage unlike any other took over her. The last thing she remembered was charging that bastard that killed her sister.

Maria was awoken abruptly by a painful kick to her stomach. She was lying naked in a wide open desert with a large disgruntled looking white man standing over her. It turns out she had somehow crossed the American border and was now in this man's territory. The man was the alpha of the local pack and was a no nonsense stormlord. He had little patience for failure and thus Maria quickly found herself in a learn or be left behind situation. After she had learned enough she had to choose her tribe but it wasn't really a hard choice. The stormlords embodied everything she had come to be over the past 11 years.

Overcoming the difficult trials of the stormlord initiation Maria decided it was time for her to take what she has learned and make it on her own. With that she just started traveling letting her instincts guide her knowing where ever she went she was strong enough to survive.
