Maris Amaryllis

About
Maris is the Head Maid serving Queen Lia Parapara Leazas. Although she is technically a head-maiden, she has much more political power than the title suggests. She is the chief advisor to Lia, and is practically the second ruler of Leazas. She administrates most of the affairs related to the economy, the military and other bureaucratic matters. While she takes care of most affairs herself, the actual decision rely on Lia and she always asks her before acting, although she does give advices or opinions fairly often, which are often very reasonable and sensible.

She has been serving Lia since the age of 7. Maris loved her dearly ever since Lia was a normal child, and have been eliminating those who bring her misfortune. She exiled those who were against her, or the ones that used Lia's name for self-profit, effectively leaving close to her only the ones that really supported her. This was all done for the love Maris holds towards Lia.

Personality and Appearance
While in appearance she behaves like a pure lady, she's actually very inteligent and quite good at manipulating people. Most people are unaware of her true nature. Despite the fact that she might do cruel things for Lia's sake, she does tend to wave towards doing the right thing when Lia is not related and is not a bad person herself.

She loves Lia with all her heart, and will do anything for her even if she considers it evil. It doesn't matter if she has to kill people for her sake, sleep with men or even do things that are harmful for Leazas. If Maris was given the choice, Lia is more important to her than the country is. She is an extremely capable person, but she tends to spoil Lia. Rance has pointed this out to her occasionally.

She has slept with many men, but has never fell in love with one. She is aware of the feelings Rick Addison has for her, but she pretends to not notice it. She's also a very sharp person, being capable of noticing quickly others intentions or feelings with just a glare most of the time. She's also excelent at negotiating and persuading others.

Maris is also a very beautiful woman, boasting a very adult and mature figure, which she is aware of and tends to use to seduce men for Lia's benefit. She has a long straight green hair and wears a long white robe adorned with some golden plates.

Abilities
Aside from her skill for administrative affairs, she is a very powerful priestess with a Divine Magic Lv2 skill as well as being an adept spear fighter.

She's very skilled at healing magic and also possesses a unique spell of her own called Divine Decomposition Wave is an extremely powerful spell that devastates multiple targets. Surprisingly, she has one of the highest levels in Leazas, being 50 her current level, which is higher than most of the generals of the army. Her level cap is also among the highest in the continent, as high as 67.

Despite this, she doesn't usually fight unless it's a pretty desperate situation, since that's what the military is for, and mostly fights as Lia's personal bodyguard if it ever comes down to it.
