Personality: Having gone through many things, Maria is tough and hardened as a result. She's determined and relentless, unable to be stopped once she makes up her mind. She always speaks her mind and speaks with no filter, not caring about who she's talking to. Maria doesn't tolerate disrespect from anyone and won't hesitate to cut others down if she feels the need to. This can make her seem rather rude and pushy. She can easily become your best friend or your worst enemy. With Maria, there is no in-between. She's incredibly loyal and is always grateful for people in her life, giving it her all when it comes to taking care of them and looking out for them.
Maria is down to earth and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. She's a tomboy to the core and isn't very feminine, having more masculine interests. She is very secretive and doesn't like indulging information about herself unless she really trusts the person which is very rare since she doesn't allow a lot of people to get close to her. Maria is very rebellious and hates being told what to do, preferring to do what she wants when she wants. She loves a good adventure and has a mischievous side, open to exploring and trying new things.
Maria always trusts her instincts and is very cynical when it comes to matters of the heart, preferring to not open up romantically and disregarding feelings. Basically she has a "hit it and quit it" philosophy when it comes to dating and she's very blunt and straightforward about it so there'll be no confusion. Maria often makes the first move and is very bold when doing so, not caring what others think of her.

Past: Maria was born in South Side Chicago under impoverished circumstances. Her mother Claudia had her at 15 and was a struggling teen parent. Fortunately she had the support of Maria's father Alejandro who took up illegal street racing to take care of them. Starting from the age of 5, Maria took an interest in cars and began to spend more time with her dad who introduced her to that world and it wasn't long before she was actually repairing things with him despite being only a child.
Unfortunately when Maria was 12, Alejandro passed away due to complications from diabetes. His death shook Maria to her core and she began to act out on her grief and anger, taking up street dancing in addition to cars. Maria also had the support of her group of friends especially William Wayne who later became her boyfriend when she was 14.
At the age of 16, Maria was arrested and taken to the local police station for street racing and aggravated assault. She was raped by the cop who arrested her and instead of being silent, Maria reported him and got a rape kit done. She had to endure harassment from the Chicago PD, often resulting in violence. Unfortunately the former cop was acquitted due to having power in the court system. Maria was enraged and brutally beat him to within an inch of his life with a socket wrench. She is extremely distrusting of law enforcement because of this incident.
Despite having the sympathy of the public and the jury, Maria was sentenced to five years in prison at the age of 18. Prison life was hell for Maria and she developed an addiction to sex in order to survive and adapt. Her relationship with William continued despite this and once Maria was released from prison, they eloped and she began to seek treatment for her hypersexuality once she reunited with him and their friends in New York.
William had opened a shop called Slick Will Repairs while Maria was in prison and she instantly found her calling there, rejoining the world of cars and street racing. But their marital bliss was short-lived when William died from a freak accident three years later. A biker suffered a hydraulics malfunction and spun out of control, sending his bike flying from under him into a row of parked bikes, one of which headed right into William, throwing him through a window and killing him instantly.
His death was devastating not only for Maria but for the community that surrounded them as well because of how much he meant to everyone and how he invested in people. Determined to keep William's legacy alive, Maria took over the shop as expected and is now the sole owner of it. She still races and dances from time to time, often using those activities to escape and make extra money.
