History:
Maria is Macanese, with a rich heritage in both Chinese and Portuguese cultures. Her paternal grandfather, a wizard-born man named Alberto Almeida, moved from Portugal to Macau in the early 80s where he fell in love with a Macanese woman named Xiaoyu. Together they had 3 sons, the middle, Maria’s father, Fernando Leung de Almeida, was a squib. He married a Macanese muggle named Li Beihe through arrangement between the two families. Maria grew up understanding her family was extraordinarily wealthy but normal.
Even though their marriage was arranged, Fernando and Beihe were happy and took their lot in life seriously. Maria was born and as she grew up life was a happy existence. She had friends, more toys than she knew what to do with, and more importantly clothes of all shapes and colors. However, her paternal grandfather decided that her parents should take over the Japanese arm of their business and sent them to Japan when Maria was 9 years old.
Maria hated moving to Japan and she hated going to school there even more. She insisted on making it a point to speak Mandarin and Cantonese whenever she could to spite her teachers and Portuguese to spite her classmates. Because of this rebellion she was often made fun of for being a foreigner and her small efforts at learning Japanese were met with equal hostility.
First instance of magic
She is being picked on by the students for being a foreigner and not being Japanese. On one of these occasions, when she was 10, boiling over with righteous indignation over her powerless in this situation she came home after school. Her parents, as they often were, were busy with business and only the maids, cooks, and her caretaker Himiko were home. As predicted, Himiko started to chastise her for not learning the language well after only being there for a year.
Maria couldn’t hold back anymore and screamed, tears welling up, all the rage from the day boiling over, “I hate you! I hate this! I hate it here! I. Want. To. Go. Home!” As if all her grief manifested itself, a shockwave knocked Himiko to the ground. Maria made her advance the fire in her eyes still not sated. In the Japanese she could muster she hissed, “I wish you could never talk ag-“
Before she could finish her curse, and the interruption saving her caretaker from a very unpleasant experience, the door slammed open and her father, shocked scowled at his daughter.
He looked around, glass was shattered, Himiko, terrified, was still reeling from shock. Her father’s interruption, while it did stop whatever wild magic was bubbling up, did not calm her down. Father and daughter stood there in the foyer staring daggers at each other.
