STORY;

     Born to parents Roberto and Valentina Carbonell April 28, 1936, Maria grew up a calm and somewhat sheltered life. Her parents owned and ran a small vineyard that sold to the local townspeople, and the young woman was set to take over once married. Finishing school in 1954, her focus became the family vineyard and helping out her family in any way she could.
     It wasn’t until she met Howard Stark at the age of seventeen when the charming man was on business in her hometown of Milan, Italy ( depending on the verse, she could have been in America instead ). Taking a liking to him quickly and easily, Maria left with him to go to the States, getting her citizenship in the country and eventually marrying the successful millionaire August 16th, 1963. She was many years younger than him, but she did not mind the age difference, though many believed she was only marrying him for his money; that could not be further from the truth.
     On May 29th, 1970, Maria gave birth to their first child, Anthony Edward Stark, after having experienced two miscarriages. It was a miracle, really, and Maria doted on the young boy, even through his rebellious stages. However, she made sure to instill in him manners and a high respect for women, despite his eventual womanizing ways. With that said, he's never once looked down on a woman or insulted one, something Maria is proud of.
     And then, December 16th, 1991, the whole world seemed to end, and quite literally for Maria. The assassination had been carried out by one of Hydra's best, James "Bucky" Barnes, and though the man made sure to end Howard's life, the Italian belle held on to just enough of her own, even though Bucky had nearly seen to it that her last breath was taken; he simply let go too soon. Knowing of SHIELD and Howard’s involvement by now, though, those that could still be trusted were able to locate and save her just before she crossed over permanently. Performing multiple emergency surgeries to save Maria, including injecting her with Kree blood/DNA, they eventually were able to, but not without odd side effects. The woman’s aging had been thrown off in the process, Maria now resembling her roughly thirty-six year old self. At this point, with only few SHIELD personnel knowing of the Hydra contamination within the organization, they knew they had to hide her from the public eye and anyone else’s eye, putting her in a safe house and forbidding her to contact anyone she’d once known.
     It was hard and still is to this day, but Maria has gotten by for over two decades, keeping tabs on her son through SHIELD and through the media. However, she’s quickly growing tired of listening to SHIELD and is still being put under surveillance by SHIELD’s most trusted, even after the group’s fall. It’s only a matter of time before she defies their orders and reunites with Tony. She can only hope he doesn’t hate her for what she’s done to him. Maria would hate herself if she were in his place, but she doesn’t lose hope. No, not yet.

I'VE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU.

DEFAULT VERSE. this follows the events post assassination and through the present. maria has been kept hidden by SHIELD from the public eye, becoming one of their best kept secrets. she still tries hard to get into contact with her son, and after the fall of SHIELD, she'll take her chances in finally carrying out such an action. whether or not he forgives her is up to him.

THE POWER OF YOUTH IS ON MY MIND.

this verse takes place from maria's childhood, up until her meeting and marriage with howard stark. born in italy, she met the millionaire when he was on a business trip. young and naive, she fell for him quickly and agreed to leave the country to start a new life in america. married soon after, she couldn't be happier in her life with the genius. maria carbonell became maria stark, and she never looked back.

YOU SAID I WAS THE MOST EXOTIC FLOWER.

this verse takes place during her marriage with howard stark. she's learned a lot in the relationship, no longer as innocent and naive as she once was, and the couple are even trying for children now after many yeares of convincing on maria's end. however, she experiences two miscarriages ( cause can be found in her HEADCANONS page ) before conceiving tony. once the boy is born, he becomes her life, as howard becomes more and more distant.

FAME, LIQUOR, LOVE, GIVE IT TO ME SLOWLY.

this verse takes place in maria's older years, where she is much colder than she was before. drinking and smoking are normal pasttimes for her, for howard's neglectful ways are even more heavy and noticeable. however, her soft spot is still for her son, and always will be. much more demanding in what she wants, more accepting of the fame and all the power it gives her, maria is highly skilled at using it all to her advantage. alternatively, if you'd prefer a more gentle and sweet version, instead of using monica bellucci, i can use vera farmiga. however, you must come to me and request that i use this alternate faceclaim.

TRY TO REMEMBER.

this verse will follow the life of one blonde maria stark. coming from a well to do family in brooklyn, ny, howard and her meeting was HARDLY accidental. and though the pairing was intended to be a publicity stunt, the two fell fast for one another.

THIS IS THE LAST TIME WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE TOGETHER.

this verse follows MCU canon, meaning that hope davis is the fc being used. maria stark is a devoted wife and loving mother, as she always has been. both howard and tony rarely get along, but the family often times find any playful banter between them to be therapeutic, in a way. it's what makes the stark's who they are. i am willing to interact in this verse with anyone who requests it!

i only have a few rules when it comes to commissioning me, but i feel it best to put them before prices and services so that they're seen first! without further ado, here we go:
1. i accept payments only through PayPal. furthermore, i only take USD (US dollars).
2. i do not accept fan arts UNLESS you can prove to me you have the artists's permission to use said fan art, or the art was made specifically for you.
3. all of my prices are based on how long it takes me to complete what is requested. i've done these things long enough to have a relatively good idea on how long it'll take me to complete each "order", so again, all prices are based on how long it takes me to complete each order. i do not charge for content used.
4. i will take up to 4 commissions at a time for my own personal sanity, and any extras will be put on a waitlist.
