Maria Felix

The 44th Ludus is Maria Rosario Felix's second Game; the first occurred during her childhood and took place inside a school. Maria is an albino Mutaga who participated in the 44th Ludus as well as an earlier Game during her childhood. She runs her father's pharmacy and has a master's in pharmacology, though is known to experiment in less reputable forms of chemistry while off-duty. This interest in toxicology has resulted in the development of a potent fatal poison which was, against her knowledge, adapted for use by The Committee's Medical Advisor.

Three years after the events of that Last Game, Maria was the only surviving Mutaga, as the others were wiped out by a deadly disease. How she survived is unknown, but it left her paralyzed from the waist down.

Appearance
Before her involvement in her first Ludus, Maria had dark hair, eyes, and tanner skin, but her conversion to a Mutaga gave her albinism. At 5'9, she is the tallest illustrated character of the Lost Code cast.

Relationships
Maria was born in 1985 to Jorge Felix and Gloria Felix Alonso, both still living. She also has at least one sibling and one niece, neither identified in The Commodore's Guide. Owing to the popular anti-Mutaga sentiment, Maria acts reticent around most people, though has a fondness for Lilly, who is not only reminiscent of Maria's niece but a member of her species.

Participation
After being forced to kill for her own survival in the first Ludus, Maria is psychologically scarred, and unprepared to take another life in the 44th Ludus. Though her objective makes a pacifist role impossible, in the good route of Lost Code Maria shows no intention of completing it.

Trivia
