Personal history
Maria Vanderhoff was born and raised in a very wealthy family. Owning a large mansion in Aerdenhout (a posh area 20~ minutes away from Amsterdam), she never had want for anything whilst growing up. She was however, quite sheltered. Though a rare occurrence in Holland, she was home schooled up until high-school, when she went to a expensive private school in Haarlem.
Here she had a bit of a wild period, which she was able to hide from her parents for the most part. While drug use definitely wasn't unheard of for the rich kids in this area, Maria took it quite a few steps further. She fell in with the 'wrong' crowd and became addicted to morphine. It wasn't until she OD'd and had to be rushed to the hospital that her parents took notice and pulled her out of school.
Since then she was in and out of rehab, and was all but hidden from the public eye. It was in a rehab facility in Amsterdam that she was noticed by Van Leuwen, the current Prince of Amsterdam. Van Leuwen, a sadist through and through, thought it would be hilariously appropriate to take on Maria, fallen from grace, as his Ghoul.
Surprisingly, she was a great match to the sadistic ruler; he eventually Sired her and officially made her Keeper of Elysium for one of his nightclubs, Club Amon. Their relationship wasn't strictly professional, but this was all hidden from the public.
During Maria's trips around Europe from one rehab to the next, she also met a girl named Lorey. Their true relationship is known only to them, but Van Leuwen did grant her permission to keep the girl around and train her as a lackey.
After Van Leuwens recent, unfortunate demise, she lobbied hard for the title, and was named Prince of Amsterdam.
