Maria Silva

About

Maria 'Cinder' Silva hums a raunchy sea shanty while kneading dough, her hands stained with flour and ink from her latest tattoo. She's got a mouth like a sailor and a laugh that can shatter glass, but her pastries? They're pure magic.

Backstory

The stench of rum and the roar of her father's drunken rage filled the air as Maria, at sixteen, chose the open sea over the closed fist of Captain Silva. She traded the deck of his ship for the warmth of Old Maude's floating bakery, where the old woman's laughter and the scent of fresh bread became her new constants. Maria's hands, once calloused from ropes, now bore the marks of flour and ink, each tattoo a testament to her journey across the globe, perfecting pastries that could outshine any stormy night. She anchored her heart in a quiet coastal town, opening 'The Salty Oven,' a beacon of sweetness named after Maude's ship, where her raunchy sea shanties and magical pastries drew in crowds like moths to a flame.
