Maria Moonlit

Maria Moonlit, publicly known as Alice Merry-Go-Round, was the Queen of the Magic Kingdom Levianta and the mother of Adam Moonlit. Established as the kingdom's figurehead and prophet under her public identity, she prophesied the destruction of the world if the twin dragon gods Levia-Behemo weren't incarnated as humans.

Early Life
Born sometime during the BT era, Maria became the Magic Kingdom Levianta's queen and prophet for her ability to commune with the twin gods Levia and Behemo, given the public name of "Alice Merry-Go-Round". At some point, Maria sired a child. Afterward, she showed her newborn baby to the Leviantan senate, insisting to have bore the infant as a virgin. Denied the senate's recognition of her claim, the child was taken from her and dumped in a river.

Project 'Ma'
In BT 022, Maria birthed a son, Adam. Around BT 005, Alice heard the voices of her mother and father and saw a vision of the twin gods in her glass vial. Her "parents" then told her they would destroy Levianta if the nation didn't cleanse the ark Sin by incarnating them into human vessels. Hoping to meet with her family, she asked what she should do to turn people into gods. Instructed to create the vessels for their souls in the same manner she created Adam, Alice announced her prophecy of the future to her subjects.

After the senate established Project 'Ma' to birth suitable twin vessels for the gods to inhabit, Maria wondered if she made the right choice and questioned whether she was really the twins' daughter and not a mere doll. At some point, Seth Twiright and the Leviantan Senate took Maria away from her son, Adam. Following the births of Hänsel and Gretel, Queen Merry-Go-Round commemorated the event by establishing the Evillious Calendar, marking their births as December 27, EC 0.

Personality and Traits
Maria was a weak-willed and troubled woman. After becoming the Queen of Levianta, she acted as a puppet ruler for the senate. She was also extremely devoted to the twin gods Levia and Behemo, believing them to be her parents. As a result, Alice was dedicated to seeing her mother and father and looked to them for guidance, allowing them to lead her in the path she desired. However, following her prophecy leading to Project 'Ma', the false prophet began questioning whether her choice was right and if the gods really were her parents. Eventually, Maria came to believe she was merely a doll, both lifeless and heartless to truly know the right answer to anything.

Skills and Abilities
Maria was proficient in magic. Among her magical abilities included the powerful Swap Technique, allowing her to transfer a nearby soul, including her own, to another nearby body or object at will. She was also one of the few humans able to hear the voices of Levia and Behemo and could view their images through a glass bottle, allowing her to commune with the twin gods and make prophecies based on their gospel. Despite her position as Queen of the Magic Kingdom Levianta, Alice Merry-Go-Round lacked much actual political power and was instead used as a puppet ruler by the senate; regardless, her prophecies were considered absolute gospel and had great influence in her country's politics.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * Maria is possibly inspired by the Virgin Mary of Christianity; like the biblical Mary, Maria claims to have birthed a child as a virgin and shares a similar venerable position as "Queen".
 * The English name Alice means "noble natured" and was first popularized by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
 * A merry-go-round is another name for a carousel.
 * Maria's name is partially inspired by her representative Vocaloid, Miku, sharing the first letter.

Curiosities

 * Several of Maria's lyrics in Queen of the Glass parallel lyrics recited by the Master of the Court in the song of the same name; interestingly, Maria compares herself to a doll and also shares both the same representative Vocaloid and a similar alias as "Merry-Go-Round".
