Character Biography[]
Background[]
Maria Fernandez was born into a family of cattle farmers, raised by her father, Ernesto Fernandez, in a remote, rural setting. The Fernandez family business revolved around breeding, slaughtering, and processing cattle to craft leather, which was then used in the production of Quaffles. Maria was trained from a young age in the family trade, developing a strong work ethic, physical strength, and a keen understanding of both the magical and non-magical aspects of the industry.
Maria grew into a tough and fearless fighter, both in physical combat and magical duels. Her no-nonsense attitude and refusal to tolerate disrespect made her a respected figure within her community. Despite her hardened exterior, she shared a deep bond with her father, who took immense pride in her. In turn, Maria viewed Ernesto as a role model and the person she most admired.
Personality and Fears[]
Maria Fernandez is known for her determination, combat prowess, and unwavering loyalty to her father. She is fiercely independent and refuses to back down from challenges, whether in her work, battles, or personal struggles.
Her biggest fear is the loss of her father, which is reflected in her boggart, a vision of Ernesto lying dead after being trampled in a cattle stampede. Likewise, Ernesto's boggart is their house burning with Maria trapped inside, symbolizing his greatest fear—losing his daughter in a disaster he cannot prevent.
