Since I've recieved the role of Maria, I've felt that this had to be written. I always wondered what Maria would've written if she had a journal, but I wanted to cover all of the bases: including all exterior stories before the actual plot of the movie. So... enjoy!
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING. If I did, I'd be singing in the hills every chance I had and living in the Captain's villa :)

Hello Book,
My name is Maria. I'm only six, but I guess I'm seven now. Today's my birthday. Father gave you to me. He says that books are the greatest friends, so maybe you'll be mine. I don't have many friends where we live. Our house is on top of a hill, but it feels like a mountain! We're not far away from the village, but we live here instead. Mother says we live up here because she likes to hear the music coming from the mountaintops. She's always teaching me songs. My favorite is one about all of these wonderful things like warm mittens and packages with strings! My mom is always singing this one song about how the hills are alive with the sound of music. I love hearing her voice. It sounds so pretty. I must go to dinner now and blow out my candles. Goodbye!
~Maria
More to come from young Maria! :D
