Maria Pilar Fondevila and her older brother Enrique Sancho Fondevila were both born on Planet Crete. Her Parents had both been Corsairs for their lifetime, but when Marias father died and her mother was severely wounded and crippled in a battle against a bounty hunter battle cruiser, she decided that her little children would be spared from the dangerous life as a pirate, also because her brother-in-law had already laid an eye on the two to become his students.

So one night she bribed a trader to take them away, but just minutes before the departure she had an argument with her son who wouldnt want to go away from his home and his friends, but rather stay with his uncle and become a warrior. After a short debate he ran off without looking back, and her mother and sister had no choice but leaving Crete without him. Marias mother had paid the trader her last credits to take them to Bretonia where she hoped to start all over again with her daughter, when at their first quick stop at Freeport 5 the trader threw the two passengers out, leaving with all the money she had paid him.

Marias mother was crippled and desperate, so she started begging and selling the visitors who came to Freeport 5 the only thing she had left her body. When Maria was old enough, she started to work in a bar for low salary, but at least she was able to care for her mother who showed first symptoms of radiation syndrome, caused by the nearby neutron star. After a few months she died, and Maria was left all alone on Freeport 5. Years passed by and Maria reached adulthood. At the age of 24 she met a young Zoner trader with whom she fell in love, and soon they were married. Their daughter Isabel was born a year later, and with two incomes the young family was able to move into a sector of Freeport 5 with better radiation shielding, and soon Maria was pregnant for the second time.

They could have lived happily for the rest of their lives, if it hadnt been for the bounty hunters guild. One day Maria served a group of bounty hunters who were after a corsair named Enrique Fondevila her brother. She made the mistake of freezing when she heard that they were after him, and the few seconds she hesitated were enough for the group to suspect her of knowing something important. They dragged her away, kicking and screaming, into a lower and god-forsaken part of the station, where they interrogated her. They found out about her name, found out about her origin, and started torturing her for information, beating her, and as a final insult raped her several times, hoping for her brother to react and come out of hiding when it spread word what happened to her. What they didnt know was that she hadnt had any contact to her brother for many years.

At this bizarre situation her husband came along, searching for his wife. Not hesitating for a second, they shot him as soon as he called out her name. Thinking that it would be the best to leave her on Freeport 5 as bait and wait around for their prey to arrive, they departed. Not only losing her pride and her husband in one single moment, she also lost her baby a few days later. She abandoned all hope, living again all alone with her 1-year-old Isabel, and having to return to the non-shielded parts of Freeport, sentencing her young child to a slow death of radiation.

But Enrique arrived.

Not alone, but with a whole fleet of corsair heavy fighters and gunboats. The fierce battle took only half an hour, ending with the capture of the bounty hunters. Maria couldnt believe her eyes when she met her brother again, whom she had not seen for more than fifteen years, and his men dragged four surviving bounty hunters of the group along with them. Somehow he had managed to keep an eye on her all the time since she had arrived on Freeport 5 with her mother, and now he left the bounty hunters who did so much pain to her, tied up and unable to move, to be at her mercy.

Maria didnt hesitate when she took a knife from her brothers armor, walking along the line of bounty hunters, each held tightly by three corsairs, and slowly slitting each throat two, three, four times, then stepping back and waiting without an expression on her face, but her eyes filled with burning hatred, for her tormentors to perish. She also didnt hesitate long when Enrique offered her to return to Crete with him and raise Isabel with his help in the relative safety of the Corsair home world.

Maria now roams the sectors of Sirius, always on the lookout for some loot to care for her and her little daughter, who grows up under Enriques wing on Crete, and bringing down every bounty hunter she can find.
