Maria Gorey

Doctor Maria Gorey is a coroner of Scotland Yard, working at the forefront of forensic science with her mother Courtney Sithe. Most of Maria Gorey's core personality is shaped on her respect of her mother, a legendary English coroner. According to Barry Caidin, Gorey enjoys waving her lancet around to imitate her mother. She would choose the same career path after watching her mother labor over the murder victims and hearing her mother talk about stories about her autopsies. She has a rather morbid fascination with anatomy, desiring to autopsy varied ethnicities to see how they differ from each other, and is uninterested in talking with the living outside the context of her job. Despite her dark behavior, she is not a malevolent person and wishes to do her part in the justice system to the best of her ability. Gorey is often depicted wearing a plague doctor mask as part of her attire (even outside of her normal work), but she will take it off when she is being cooperative with others. During uncomfortable times, she will put it back on to hide her face. After her mother's arrest, Gorey held a small grudge against Naruhodo for his role in part of her arrest. However, she later acknowledged that her mother's corruption led her down a bad path and was willing to support the defense in the final case despite potential backlash.
