Maria? Beautiful and smart, much like her sister. After Samantha vanished 50 years ago, her mother, Sophia, blotted her other daughter out of Maria's mind and raised her as if she were an only daughter. Sophia made up the story that a rogue had, well... in human terms, "raped" her, and Maria was the result. Maria never knew about Richtofen or Samantha. She was the younger one.
