Maria

Maria is a small child trapped in Terfin in Ultima IX.

The Avatar met the pathetic and frightened Maria deep within the bowels of Terfin. The terrified child told the Avatar how she was constantly tortured and beaten by gargoyles, and how they had given her a slow acting poison which invariably led to a slow painful demise. Maria begged the Avatar to kill her, so that she could be spared this slow death. The Avatar could choose to kill her or let her live. If the Avatar allowed Maria to live, the Guardian mocked his inability to even help a small child, and yet if he took the girl's life, the Guardian would mock how far he'd fallen to be killing children.
