Retour dans l'armurerie
Maria s'était brouillée en bas après tout le monde, regardant rapidement les différentes armes et armures exposées. Ses yeux se sont fixés sur un grand bouclier de tour, allongé sur un rack à côté d'un bac qui disait "EXPLOSIVE: NE PAS TOUCHER, EXCEPTER DANS LES EMERGENCES." Eh bien, cela compte certainement comme une urgence, je dirais. Maria a réfléchi. Elle a ouvert la boîte et a saisi une double poignée des petites boules colorées qu'elle contenait, puis les mettre - soigneusement - dans l'une de ses poches de veste, en veillant à les nicher parmi des emballages de bonbons et divers autres morceaux doux et des bobs. Après réflexion, elle a aussi saisi le bouclier de la tour à côté des grenades, notant qu'il était un peu plus léger qu'elle ne le pensait. Elle admirait le design complexe sur le bouclier (un design semblable à un labyrinthe gravé à l'avant, en spirale vers l'extérieur dans un design qui ressemblait à un ensemble stylisé de cornes de taureau), quand les lumières s'éteignirent soudainement. Elle a levé les yeux indignément, et sortit "Hé, qui s'est retourné" avant de voir quelque chose qui lui a fait arrêter le cœur.
Des dizaines d'yeux, appartenant à presque ce nombre de Grit. Tout le monde la regarde directement.
NAME: Maria Loronha (note: the "nh" bit is pronounced like "ny.")
ABSTRACT: Sweethearted aristocrat-to-be (unless she has anything to say about it).
DETAIL: Maria was born to a pair of middle-class citizens who run a candy shop on the banks of the Seventh River, with their apartment on the second floor. Growing up, she learned how to make her own sweets, and even helped out in the shop from time to time. Every night, she would lie on her bed and look outside at the Wall, and try to see what had been added on since the last night. Eventually, the people she saw began to take on lives of their own in her head, and she started imagining what their lives were like, up there in the clouds, looking down at the rest of them, who surely seemed so tiny amidst the great wide majesty of the sky and the lands beyond the Wall. Unfortunately, her parents' candy shop began to go into decline, and her father, with nowhere else to go, beseeched an influential billionaire for his help. He gave it, but under one condition; that he take Maria as a wife. Naturally, this did not appeal at all to Maria or her parents, so they accepted his aid, then had Maria flee onto the Wall. She came equipped with as much candy and as many clothes as she could pack, a pad of paper and a pencil (for her sigil), and mixed emotions; she was finally going to be able to work on the Wall and see beyond it, like she'd always dreamed, but she was also being pursued by a ruthless billionaire who wanted her for a wife. Nonetheless, she won't let that dampen her good spirits, and greets everyone with a sunny smile and a piece of homemade candy.
MAGICAL INVENTORY: Maria has one sigil, which she memorized just before she left for the Wall. It turns whatever it's written on into what's essentially a mine, but instead of exploding, it emits a great burst of air, enough to propel someone several steps back or into the air briefly. Normally, this only acts as a distraction while Maria legs it, but up on the Wall, one wrong step can mean your doom.
