-Personality-
Description:
Maria is a practical woman. She faces the world as it is and makes no effort to romanticize it or ignore its problems. She does not, however, allow those problems to hold her back. She is quite aware of her power as a woman and a witch. She despises those who believe she cannot do any task a man can do. That's part of the reason she was drawn to business and marketing--she was already interested in the subject, and then once someone told her she couldn't do it, she was determined to make them eat their words.
Maria has a long fuse, but her wrath, once earned, will burn her enemies to the ground. She's a strong believer in the three-fold rule; except she doesn't always wait for the universe to return the energy on its own. She likes to help things along.
Habits/Hobbies: leader of her coven, loves red wine, burns a lot of candles
History:
Maria Faulkner comes from a long line of Faulkner women. There is a family rule that witches born in the family must keep the Faulkner last name.
The Faulkner line originally was located in New England; they were part of the original settlers in the Colonies. (Two family members were also lost at Roanoke.) The family was torn apart by the Salem trials, and the few remaining members fled west, eventually settling in Xander's Cross.
Maria Faulkner is one of three sisters: Maria, Melanie, and Margot. All three girls excelled and school and went to college (paid for by the family.) Melanie and Margot stayed out of town--Melanie near Harvard, and Margot, back in New England. Maria, after getting her MBA, then lived with her mother, Agnes, until Agnes succumbed to breast cancer. It was at that time that Agnes passed her familiar, Tobias, to her granddaughter Cassie. Maria was proud that her daughter was chosen.
Originally Maria worked outside XC as a marketing executive, but now that the age of the internet has grown, along with her skills and renown, she works as a consultant--visiting companies for a week or two at a time to help them refresh their image and their staff. She is paid exorbitantly and has actually added to the family fortune.
Maria also took on her mother's place as the High Priestess and leader of the Xander's Cross Coven, also known as the Ravenwood Coven. She leads biweekly meetings, celebrations at major Pagan holidays, and rituals, as well as welcoming new members. Her coven is her family, and she loves them dearly.
