For the character asks game: 11, 15, and 16 for Lady Maria :3
Lady Maria!!
11. Would you date this character?
No. Lady Maria is the type of byronic hero that prioritizes her own problems and issues over everyone else's and that makes for a very uneven relationship. Also both of our flaws are the kind that would clash very strongly with one another and the dynamic would be very toxic.
I also covet her appearance so that's definitely gonna be a problem.
15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)
...KosMaria not sorry about this actually. Something about them being parallels in a lot of ways with the idealized and abused motifs. How Maria's research in the Hall is trying to reach for the Cosmos but in the end everyone and herself included got dragged down back into the depths. Lady Maria committing suicide and then being forced by Kos to be her personal Knight Vanguard before the Hunter heads over to the Hamlet (and somehow, Maria has convinced herself it's about her secrets and whatnot - bruh, the delusion is Real). Also I have a fanfic WIP about them that touches more on some AU ideas floating in my head.
I also like Mariadeline! But like, in a tragic sense. I headcanon that while Maria was trying to sell that Girl Prince Look(tm), Adeline saw through that appearance and was attracted to Maria's Wet Cat Autism Creature vibes. Also her research, which both prioritized over each other. Ironic, that Adeline was so into the depths and Kos but Kos was more interested in Maria (world's most fucked up toxic yuri love triangle).
16. What's your least favorite ship for this character?
...Gehrmaria not sorry about this. I just, sorry besides the whole Vibes with the Doll I am not a fan of mentor/student relationships in general. (Also not a fan of the character twisting needed to justify this ship like no). Especially in this case cause it's literally the most generic ship concept in existence. How many Gehrmaria type ships exist in fiction? Throw a dart into any 60s-00s action or thriller movie and you probably find a ship with the same basic dynamic as them. I have zero interest.
Thanks for the ask Marble!!
