Maria Kennedy

&nbsp Maria Kennedy (-68 to ???) is the only known child of Sir Jonathon Kennedy, the notorious billionaire drug engineer.

EARLY LIFE

Maria was raised by nannies until old enough to be sent to boarding school. She attended Zurich's Mont Vidal Ecole until leaving there for college. Forced to attend boarding school, Kennedy never developed a close relationship with her father, feeling that he kept her at arm's length. One biographer of Sir Jonathon disputes this and asserts Maria was sent to boarding school for her own good, so that she would build her own ties rather than being known only as Sir Jonathon's daughter.

Afterwards, Maria graduated from Oxford with all firsts and earned a doctorate in computer-biophysiology from Johns Hopkins University though she chooses to downplay her doctorate.

CAREER

Using her trust fund, Maria opened her own business, transforming it over the course of a decade into Adjuntic, the system's leader in prosthetic technologies, making her a wealthy woman in her own right. In addition to her sales through hospitals as well as licensed prosthetic enhancement stores, Maria provides prosthetics to the needy in areas outside of the arcologies and cities of Earth, sending teams to remote areas or poor nations to help. Adjuntic has been quite successful with these projects which has enhanced the company's reputation. It helps that the missions are 100% apolitical.

TITLE

Like her father, Maria was granted a title by the King of Norway. The cynical claim that this was due to guilt over Sir Jonathon's knighthood, though it is a weak argument. Maria earned the title of 'dame' honestly through her charitable works all over Earth.
