Maria Torres

Maria Torres is the mother of Antonio Torres and wife of Alejandro Torres. Her real name was Maria Hightower when her and her family lived in England. Maria is a dangerous and obsessive woman who tortures her son. Tsukumojuku Kato describes Maria's love for her son as hardly natural. Every year on June 16th since Antonio was a baby, Maria peels off his skin bit by bit while leaving his blood, bones, and flesh intact. She then carefully places the pieces together, treats them with a thin-coating of oil to prevent them from drying out, seals them with medical adhesive, and sews the pieces together with very fine thread. Antonio's hair that was shed from prior months would be placed on top of the head of her creation to complete the full body work of art, which she called "This Year's Antonio".
