Yes, the rumours are true. This girl is the youngest of the Maria Pereira sisters. Of course, there is no need to mention the aquatic abilities of Maria No. 2, the extraordinary wealth of Maria No. 6, or even the (as the kids put it today,) 'epic gamer skills' of Maria No. 1. These exceptionally talented fraternal septuplets are a household name known all around the world, even more so because they are the offspring of the even more famous late commodore Thiago Alverez Pereira.

​

Well, all except for Maria No. 7. Growing up, she always felt like she had a lot to live up to, always being in the shadow of her father. This feeling got even more pronounced once her six sisters took their first steps into the limelight, one by one.

​

In her formative years, Maria 7 tried doing various things to get as well known, if not more, as her sisters and her father. These included trying to catch a space alien (which turned out to be just a malnourished puppy), joining an up-and-coming dance troupe (which disbanded shortly after their first major performance), and (as she admits with much embarrassment) starting her own OnlyFans page.

​

None of these things seemed to work, and 15 year-old Maria 7 was on the verge of an identity crisis when she realised something. Her mother had never experienced a single shred of fame before she had met the Maria Pereiras' father. Even when he and his six oldest daughters achieved worldwide acclaim, she never let it affect her day-to-day life. She had just continued to work at her nursing job as usual, never letting the allure of fame and fortune be a factor in who she was as a person.

​

That was the most important thing in life, Maria 7 decided, being true to yourself no matter what. Today, Marias 1-6 (as a collective) are more famous than Thiago ever was, and Maria 7 supports every single one of them to the very end. She still gets mild anxiety attacks here and there, but nowadays she talks to her imaginary friend, a small green dragon known as 'Maury', as a coping mechanism. She has also become quite fond of music, a fascination in which her six sisters and mother have in common (though to a much lesser extent).
