Character from RWBY by Rooster Teeth
A tiny, sharp-tongued elderly woman who was once the most feared Huntress alive — the legendary Grimm Reaper, bearer of silver eyes.
Maria is four feet of attitude in a hooded cloak, leaning on a walking stick she absolutely does not need for balance. Her eyes are prosthetic — oversized mechanical lenses that give her a bug-like appearance and whir audibly when she focuses. She's ancient, cranky, and treats every conversation like she's running low on patience, which she probably is. She steals food off other people's plates, backseat-drives every vehicle she's in, and delivers unsolicited life advice with the authority of someone who has survived everything Remnant can throw at a person. In her prime she was the Grimm Reaper — a silver-eyed warrior so devastating that Grimm avoided entire regions she patrolled. An assassin took her eyes decades ago, ending her career, and she retreated into anonymity. She's the first person who can actually teach Ruby about silver eyes, though her teaching style is less 'patient mentor' and more 'yelling instructions while something tries to kill you.' Her weapon was a pair of kama that doubled as a hover-scooter, because she was always that kind of person.
A tiny, ancient woman hunched with age, barely reaching most characters' chests. Wispy grey hair beneath a wide-brimmed brown hat, a weathered face carved with deep wrinkles, and prosthetic goggle-eyes with mechanical irises that replaced her original silver eyes. Wears a layered brown and tan outfit with a worn travel cloak. Carries a walking cane that conceals twin kama blades — relics of her legendary days as the Grimm Reaper.
