Maquia

Maquia is a 15-year-old Iorphian orphan. She adopts Ariel after her country is destroyed in an attack by the Mezarte nation.

Appearance
Like all Iorphians, Maquia has long blonde hair and red-tinted eyes and wears traditional Iorphian clothes. After being separated from her clan, she dyes her hair orange to match her adoptive son Ariel's hair. As an Iorphian, she ages incredibly slowly and looks to be about 15 years old at various points in the film.

Personality
Maquia is extremely shy and soft-spoken. She often doubts her ability to be a mother to Ariel. She initially struggles to adapt to life outside of her birth nation, although she does grow accustomed to it over time. However, many of her relationships have a melancholy undertone as Maquia's longevity means that she will outlive those closest to her many times over.
