- Nymphean
- In the literal but none mystical sense Marya is a nymph, beautiful, well spoken, and charismatic. It also helps that she has a mystic face, which kinda makes her more like a mystical Nymph, but still not really like one. While she does use her sex appeal to her fullest advantage, she is summoned at a time in her life where she only really had interest in her husband Ivan and such uses would only be a tool.
- Bottle Fairy
- While not an alcoholic, Marya like to drink, when it is the time to drink. Just make sure that there is enough shots of vodka on the table, so that she can show you why she is the Machine!
- Possessive of her husband.
- Not in the psychotic sense, but there is a reason that her husband hasn't gotten any lovers while she was still alive.
- Anti-Hero
- They say that the difference between a hero and a villain, is that the hero has morals, and doesn't harm people. In Marya's case, it has more to do with her knowing when to stop and not having as big an appetite as her enemies and there fore not interested in taking over the world. It also helped that after meeting Ivan the Fool, her priorities became more focused on her family. Otherwise, she was just as bad and was using the same methods as her competitors like Koschei the Deathless.
- Resourceful
- Marya has never been the most powerful witch in her age, but still she lived with hardships that she had to overcome. For that reason she had to be creative, and use her mind to come up with different tools and ways to defeat her enemies.
LIKES: //- Ivan Tsarevich <3
- Her children
- Herself
- Her beauty
- What she has achieved with her talent for Witchcraft
- Ice cream: It's not mana from heaven but it comes damn close.
DISLIKES: //- Koschei the Deathless: First she disliked him but went on with the show because her father had handed her over for him to marry; then when she had captured him she saw him first as a pet and afterwards as a well where water could be draw from; and lastly she hated him after he had killed Ivan right in front of her eyes.
- Being called 'The Plague-Witch'
- That one of her Noble Phantasms makes reference to that
- Being called granny >_>;; By anyone not her grandchildren.

MY HISTORY: //
Greetings, dear reader. I am overjoyed that you have chosen to read this story of mine today. My name is Marya Morevna, a witch, a tzarevna, and the wife of Ivan Tsarevich; a man also known as Prince Ivan the Fool.
It all starts in a little castle that belonged to my father tzar Kostya. He was a man of lesser land, but blessed with a beautiful wife name Nadya. She was also a witch like me, she was my teacher, but that little detail is a little hush-hush. They were blessed with two daughters: me and Iskra who sadly died at the age of six from a fever. Father inherited his land as a freeman, but when the Tzar Koschei the Deathless went out to conqueror he was made a vassal. Like many other tzars he was displeased with this, but he had no might to resist him, or the will to revolt his sire. All of this happened before I turned thirteen and became a woman.
I received much training in my youth since I was to inherit and rule my father's tzardom when his time should come to pass. Plus, my mother also wished to pass her knowledge of Witchcraft down to me. It was unfortunate for my father that I had no brothers, so I had to learn the skills of manipulating a husband in order to keep our tzardom as close to my family as possible. I became quite adapt at gaining people's trust, but my skills were not the only things that allowed me to do so. I had a gift from god you see, a mystic face which guided people into trusting me as if god helped them to only see the pure side of my nature.
MY GOALS: // I just want to be together with my husband Ivan again, but in a way that suit both of us. Yes, this means that Ivan can go on adventures again as well as being with me like when they were alive. Not in a fake reality created by the Throne of Heroes, but in a real one like this.

•Longsword: A common longsword like the one she wielded in life, being a tzarevna and War Queen. Her skill with a sword in life was mediocre, and lower, now that she has been summoned as a Caster.
•Jeweled Dagger: A ceremonial dagger with a golden handle inlaid with precious stones. This dagger was a wedding gift giving to her by Koschei the deathless on their wedding day.
NOBLE PHANTASM: //
The Twelve Chains of Marya Morevna
Rank: E+ - A++
Type: Anti-Personnel and Anti-Army
Range: 10
Max Targets: 12, one target for each chain.
The second greatest achievement of Marya Morevna was the crafting of these twelve chains made from the remains of Koschei the Deathless' twelve witch sisters.
When invoking this Noble Phantasm, Marya can summon as many chains as she wants, and target any person as she desires within range. If a chain misses its target, it will return to Marya, who now has the option to send it back or chose a new target.
There are different ways to counter this Noble Phantasm. The first way that comes to mind is to use a magical or physical barrier to prevent the chains from connecting with your person. Being faster than the chains is also a viable option. The chains has a operating speed equal to a C rank of Agilty.
In order to break the chains, one requires a Strength of A+. In Koschei's case, his Strength when this NP is deployed against him is granted a modifier, and he is guaranteed to destroy it. These chains also causes the target to be mute (only one chain required), and seal any use of Noble Phantasms and attempts to use Thaunatugy or Witchcraft when the target is completely bound.
The cost and rank of this Noble Phantasm depends on how many chains she's using. The chains only acts as a ball and chain unless anything to the contrary is stated below.
One chain (E): Is only useful against magi and Grail Monsters.
Two chains (D): If all the chains are being used one a single target, the weight of the ball and chain acts as if a servant with a strength rank of D is holding them back/down.
Four chains (C): Same as when two chains is used, just one rank higher.
Six chains (B): One rank higher again.
Ten chains (A): One rank higher again.
Twelve chains (A+): At this rank if all the chains are used on a single target, and they are going to fulfil their real purpose by binding the target, and riveting and hog tie the target thus making the target unable to move.
This np gain a + from her Military Tactics skill when used against several opponents.

Wrath of the Plague-Witch
Rank: B
Type: Support
Range: 10
Max Targets: Self and any ally within range.
As Marya Morevna siphoned power from Koschei the Deathless her Witchcraft grew in strength and potency. However, not only were her Witchcraft influenced by this increase of power, but her Mystic Face was affected as well. The side-effect of this was that her subjects began to revere her (calling her the fair princess even-though she had just ordered them to murder a whole army in cold blood, leaving no one standing. She had done this several times in fact.), an effect that Koschei theorised to be a mass deployment of charm spell.
This Noble Phantasm is a crystallization of this power and its side-effects. When activated it makes her able to use the power that she sapped from Koschei (damn you grail and your limitations!) granting her an increase to her Mana and Witchcraft rank (from B to B+, and from B to B+) as well as empowering her Mystic Face in such a way that it grants an extra effect. This effect is a passive aura that grants anyone who consider Marya Morevna an ally the same effect as if they have the skill Aegis of Faith ranked at D. This bonus stays in place as long as they are within range of her.
This NP can also only be activated ones per battle and has a duration of ten minutes where after all of the above mentioned effects ends.

CLASS ABILITIES: //
Item Construction A+
Capable of making healing potions that grant limited immortality.
Marya's speciality when it comes to arcane crafting, is to convert material into other matters, and the sipping the energies from a person or object, without destroying them/it. This energy she can use to craft Mystic codes at a near phantasmal level (kinda like how Medea turned Shirou into a staff in one of the bad endings).
Territory Creation - B
The skill to build a special terrain that increases one's capacities as a magus.
SKILLS: //
Charisma B (A)
The talent to lead an army.
Military Tactics D
Tactical knowledge used not for one-on-one combat situations, but for battles where many are mobilized. Bonus modifiers are provided during use of one's own Anti-Army Noble Phantasm or when dealing against an enemy Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.
Mystic Face of
A Mystic Face that acts similar to the charm effect. In this case however, instead of making the person fall in love with the user they will instead gain an immense amount of trust in the user no matter the gender of the affected person. The effect is not complete, but helps the person form alliances and other relations more easily than normal.
The + modifier comes into effect when she activates her Noble Phantasm, Wrath of the Plague-Witch. The new effect of the MF is explained in the above mentioned NP.
Witchcraft B (+)
Magic that does not need to get cast, rather than born by the user him/herself.
True, Marya Morevna was originally a witch born with low power, lacking any formal training from a legendary witch or witcher such as Baba Yaga or Koschei. But her determination, will to learn, the draining of Koschei's twelve sisters, and a lot of luck (lots of it) she gained enough power and skill, and became a powerful witch. Even with the shortcoming of her lack of apprenticeship by a powerful figure.
The plus modifier becomes active when she uses Wrath of the Plague-Witch. This modifier indicates an empowerment of her spells rather than the ability to cast new spells.
STRENGTH: // D
ENDURANCE: // D
AGILITY: // C
MANA: // A/A+
LUCK: // C
NOBLE PHANTASM: // A+
* The modifier on Mana is added when Wrath of the Plague-Witch is activated.

FACE CLAIM: // Shanoa from Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.
OTHER CHARACTERS: // W1: Akylos Silasopoulos (Master).
W2: Hrólfr Kraki (Saber), Godfred Olf af Ablidgaard (Master), Édith Molyneux (Master), Sakata Kintaro (Rider).
MISC. INFORMATION: // In most of the sources that I found about MM, she was decribed not only as a witch, but also a warrior queen, so I gave her a higher strenght rank then Medea (who's physical stats are Strength: E, Endurance: D, Agility: C according to the Typo Moon wiki) to reflect this.
