Character from Volume 7 by Rooster Teeth
The legendary Grimm Reaper — a tiny, sharp-tongued elderly woman with mechanical eyes who mentors Ruby and provides cranky wisdom to a team that desperately needs an adult in the room.
Maria was the Grimm Reaper — the most feared Huntress of her generation, a silver-eyed warrior who carved a legend across Remnant before someone blinded her and stole her power. She's been living in quiet obscurity ever since, and being dragged back into the world's problems by a group of teenagers is not how she planned to spend her retirement. She travels with the team to Atlas because someone needs to, and also because the food is better. Her role is part mentor, part conscience, part comic relief — she teaches Ruby about Silver Eyes, insults everyone's combat technique, and refuses to be impressed by anything Atlas has to offer. Her mechanical eyes give her vision but not the silver-eyed power she once wielded. She sees in Ruby what she used to be and is determined that Ruby's story won't end the same way hers did.
Very small and elderly with dark skin, short grey hair, and oversized mechanical goggles that serve as prosthetic eyes — her original silver eyes were cut out decades ago. Wears a dark brown shawl over a black dress, hunched posture, and moves with surprising agility for her age. Carries a walking cane that she absolutely does not need.
