:'''Maria Gladstone''' was born to Marcus and Elizabeth Gladstone (nee Parkins) on the 16th of July 2330. | :'''Maria Gladstone''' was born to Marcus and Elizabeth Gladstone (nee Parkins) on the 16th of July 2330. She spent her early life growing up in a loving family environment in an apartment block located just one mile west of the city centre. From an early age she showed a great aptitude for social interaction and never found herself without a group of close-knit friends. For her {{age|2320|7|16|2325|7|16}}th birthday Maria received a nurses play set and professed to her parents that she would one day become a nurse. Knowing this, both parents agreed to support and nurture this desire. | ||
<br> | |||
:'''When''' Maria began school, she found it challenging at first but by her {{age|2320|7|16|2328|7|16}}th birthday she was excelling in English, maths and science. However, whilst excelling in these subjects all the way through to high school she struggled with activities such as physical education and modern languages. Her parents opted to hire a tutor to help their daughter learn and appreciate various languages such as French and Vulcan. By her {{age|2320|7|16|2337|7|16}}th birthday Maria could speak fluent French, German, Japanese and Vulcan. Soon after her birthday, Maria graduated from high school with high enough grades to study at the University of Chicago where she opted for Nursing and General Medical Practices. | |||

:'''In''' late 2340, whilst on the third of five years of study, Maria met her future husband Michael whilst on a night out on the town. Two months later she was asked on an official date by the young man and graciously accepted. The pair courted until their marriage on S.D. 235408.13. In August of 2340, Maria graduated from university and began work as a nurse at Chicago Hope memorial hospital. | |||
<br> | |||
:'''Following''' the death of her parents in 2354, Maria was forced to take some time off from work to recover. She found comfort in her husband and the pair were able to work past the tragedy of losing their parents together. Over the next 15 years she continued her work as a nurse at Chicago Hope, gradually moving up the ranks. With each new promotion she threw herself at the responsibilities involved whilst continuing to show 100% devotion to the patients in her care. On S.D. 236009.07, Maria gave birth to the couple's first and only Child, Marissa whom she loved dearly. Owing to Michael's work commitments, Marissa developed a much stronger bond with her mother than her father. | |||
<br> | |||
:'''By''' 2377, Maria had worked her way up to the position of ward sister and had some 12 nurses and 23 orderlies underneath her. As ward sister it was her duty to ensure that the ward exceeded the minimum standards of care for patients and that her shift ran as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Maria attended her daughters graduation ceremony with her husband late in the year. She was overjoyed that Michael and Marissa had been able to work through their issues. Unfortunately, this would be the last time she saw her husband alive. He tragically died in an a fire whilst working on a project in France. | |||

:'''Maria''' took the death of her husband very badly becoming very introverted. She took early retirement from her job at Chicago Hope Memorial hospital and began keeping herself to herself. She only recovered from her depression upon her daughters marriage to Alexander Richards on S.D. 238301.01. Soon after the marriage, Maria was invited to live with Gary and Harriet Richards on the Tycho City Lunar colony, an offer she graciously accepted. The birth of her Grandson in 2386 further cemented her will to continue living although like Gary and Harriet, she has yet to see him owing to the travel distance between Starbase 118 and Earth. | |||
