Dia duit! I’m back for yet another analysis.
We do have an announcement to make. As you can see we are breaking our trend of analysis, update, analysis, update, because yesterday we finished proofreading and so won’t have anymore updates until announcing the publication of The Game.
So here we go with Maria’s analysis!
Name: Maria Lynette Blare
Birth date: June 11, 1848
Age(s) in The Game: 15 and 16
If she was a Starbucks drink she would be a: Cappuccino
Creation
Maria is Adrie’s companion; she is the most altered from her beginning—other than Adrie—in my opinion, which is slightly funny, considering that they are BFFs, guess they just had to be similar in that way.
Her name to start with was Lynette, hence her middle name now, and her springboard person was one of Bea’s younger sisters. That sister decided later on not to play Lynette because she was supposed to be very fancy, and she didn’t like that.
I then suggested a friend, and Lynette had a makeover. Maria became Italian, which is how Adrie and she met each other (as in they both lived in Europe, were from rich families, and were able to meet on holiday).
Personality
Maria is bubbly and spirited, always ready to have fun and willing to go on an adventure with the Winters, but almost always with Adrie.
Struggles/faults
I’m sure she has some, she must, but I can’t think of any. You mostly just see her cheerful side, only broken with reverence for a sister who had died, fear about the war, bashfulness when there is a surprise meeting, and worry when Fae and a friend seemingly go missing.
The only time a fault seems to be at all implied, and is it even actually a fault, I’m not sure, you need a deeper look into the matter, is when she is hinting something to Rose, which clearly makes Rose uncomfortable.
Mindset
She seems to live in two worlds at once, the world of society and the world of pleasure and fun, as she fits into society and yet doesn’t mind breaking some social standards here and there.
Her plans for her future are probably decided by society, not so much her own inclinations, as she is not what one would call a romantic, though she is bridging on it. She is destined to marry and have a family, surely, so she waits for the person who she will spend the rest of her life with without truly looking.
So here we end Maria’s analysis, thank you for reading, and have a good New Year’s Eve and happy new year! Here we go into another year! Our first post of the new year should be an analysis of Mabel and Eliza Morris!
