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 sniffs softly, clearing his throat and thumbing over the lip of the bottle, shaking his head gently before looking out over the graveyard. his chest lifts as he gets through half of a deep breath before he freezes, eyes going wide while he turns his head to the side. he stops himself before he can turn around because— was that real…? and if it wasn’t—- he frowns and shakes his head, turning his head back to face his parents’ graves. he pulls the bottle close to his body and twists it in his hands nervously before turning around with agonizing hesitance.
his face falls when he sees her, turning sheet white as his stances wavers, and he takes a step back, blinking erratically before he drops the liquor and has to brace himself on a tombstone, shaking his head and swallowing hard. his chest heaves as he looks down at the ground, his head is spinning and he groans quietly, sinking to the ground in a crouch, one hand coming up to scrub over his mouth. he looks up at her eventually, tears filling his eyes, and he lets out a pained noise as he tries to get up with a quiet, ❛ mama… ❜ before falling back on his ass.
the second he hears her voice, he stiffens, and it’s then that maria almost wishes she’d said nothing. what if he turns around and is angry with her? what if he rejects her and doesn’t allow her back into his life? the scenarios are ones she’s had many nightmares of over the decades, but it all seems suddenly so surreal. she hadn’t prepared for this, after all, and thus, all actions now are spur of the moment and not even close to being thought through.
and then he’s turning towards her, the moment of truth falling upon them both; and he’s just as overwhelmed as she. wanting to approach her son as he nearly falls but catches himself on a tombstone, maria will hold back such an urge, even if just for now. but what happens next will break her heart, for as he crouches down, tears are welling in his eyes as he then falls back and onto the ground. maria will rush forward now, black dress allowing her just enough wiggle room to come to her knees a few feet from him, for she doesn’t wish to overwhelm her son too much, all things considered. ❛ breathe, bambino…❜ she coos as tears well up and fall over onto pale cheeks, a hand lifting shakily to reach for his on hand before she thinks better of it and reels her hand back in.
