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 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.

he doesn’t know why he decided to stay so much longer this time. he doesn’t even if actually get up. he’s tired. he’s too old for this. and his bones only agree as they ache in protest from his position on the grass, legs folded up as he twists blades of green through his fingers with a sigh. he reaches over and picks up the bottle of lagavulin he’d bought especially for this occasion, tossing it between both hands before tipping a portion into the lid and leaning over to pour it over howard’s grave. ❛ well, dad… if you’re doing it… ❜ he murmurs before sighing and bringing the bottle up to his lips, tipping back and closing his eyes as the whiskey burns down his throat, settling in his chest and enveloping his pain and misery like old friends.
she’ll watch on for now, knowing that the second she calls his name, either something quite horrible will happen or something wholly beautiful will. shield should have known he’d be here. and yet, they allow her to come here every year on mother’s day and her birthday. the only explanation maria can come up with is that it’s simply become routine for all of them, the organization hardly thinking tony stark would show up there; even though he’s done it every year. it’s just that maria usually comes the day after. until now. but her mind is made up; to hell with shield. ❛ — anthony? ❜ she’ll call his name out cautiously, slowly approaching the man from behind after he’s taken a swig from the bottle in hand. the defining moment comes now, and she’s afraid. afraid he’ll reject her, deny her presence and leave.
