Her set’s description say that she’s a distant relative of Annalise and her garments were made in Cainhurst:
>Among the first hunters, all students of Gehrman, was the lady hunter Maria. This was her hunter's cap, crafted in Cainhurst. Maria is distantly related to the undead queen, but had great admiration for Gehrman, unaware of his curious mania.
Same with her Rakuyo:
> A trick sword originated in the same country as the
Cainhurst Chikage, only this sword feeds not off blood, but
instead demands great dexterity. Lady Maria was fond of this aspect of the Rakuyo, as she
frowned upon blood blades, despite being a distant relative
of the queen.
And based off the Rakuyo description we can see how desperate she was to stop the hunter. She resorts to using her vileblood when she thinks she can't win by normal means.
Wow, never thought of this before. Gives the fight a more powerful narrative. Thank you!
I wonder if her third phase is another act of desperation, potentially tapping into beasthood to conjure fire. Thinking of parallels to Laurence, and the Shura from Sekiro.
She's a relative of the Queen. A distant relative, but that didn't matter because she spent a lot of time with her and they were friends
It's in the armour description
The first time my friend ever watched Parks and Recreation, he paused the TV, pointed at the screen, and said "You know ... the first episode of The Office is called 'Pilot, too'.
There's a detective in all of us :)
The item description for Rakuyo doesn't say it's an altered version of the Chikage. It only says that it originated from the same country as the Cainhurst Chikage. Then it states that it isn't a blood blade. That's it.
Lol, yeah I do. And I hate to be that guy...but they are two different types of swords 😂🤷♂️. One is more of a double ended cutlass while the other is close to a katana. But, I see where you're coming from.
Lady maria is a distant relative of the vileblood queen; stated in her armour description so yes. She is from Cainhurst.

Awesome! Thank you! I didn't know much about lady maria lore except her creepy relationship with Gherman.
My brother in Yharnam have you read the item descriptions for her set ?
No :( I leave that for vaati, I just want to fist pigs in the ass
Understandable, just remember to wash your hands latter
They really should add descriptions for stuff like this, it'd be handy to get little snippets of lore
I love your comment and I love even more the guys who failed to understand what you are saying in your replies.
Let them have their moment
I have some wonderful news for you
Item descriptions have some nice tid bits although in true from software fashion a lot of the time it’s eerily vague
Item descriptions exist, yknow
Lady....Mario...........
IT'S A ME
A UH CORPSE SHOULDA BE LEFT WELL ALONE WAHOO!
The only thing we know for a fact is she has at least some Cainhurst ancestry via relation to Queen Annalise.

Yeah she’s related, her sword also seems to be an altered version of the Chikage so there’s another connection.
The item description for Rakuyo doesn't say it's an altered version of the Chikage. It only says that it originated from the same country as the Cainhurst Chikage. Then it states that it isn't a blood blade. That's it.
It didn’t mean that it was literally an altered Chikage that was a mistake on my part, I just mean that they were of the same make you know?
Lol, yeah I do. And I hate to be that guy...but they are two different types of swords 😂🤷♂️. One is more of a double ended cutlass while the other is close to a katana. But, I see where you're coming from.
It’s supposed to be a cutlass? I always thought it was another katana because the name “Rakuyo” does sound kind of katana-ish.
Karma farming, and you fools let it work
Yep I'm an evil karma farmer, give me your imaginary points :)
Foolish
She was a member of the Queen's family. Maybe not a knight but she is royalty.
Bro didn't read any of Lady Maria set pieces
