Maria (Gunpowder Empire)

Maria was a slave who lived in Polisso in Dacia Province, in an alternate where the Roman Empire still existed in the 21st century. Maria was a Hard Christian who rejected the compromises that so-called "Imperial Christians" made in order to live as citizens of the Empire. Nevertheless, she was quite fond of Amanda Solters, a supposed Imperial Christian grain merchant, who was in fact an American Crosstime Traffic agent from the home timeline. Maria and Amanda often met and talked while fetching water at the municipal fountain.
