Lady Maroca is glimpsed only by name, a quiet presence in the formal language of a will. That brief mention gives her an air of private significance while leaving the life behind the name tantalizingly out of view.

Maroca is mentioned as a beneficiary in the will of Maffeo Polo the younger. The book provides no further account of her life, relationships, or personal history, so her role remains a brief but tangible trace in the documentary record. Beyond that reference, her story is left unstated.
Description
The text gives no physical description of Maroca. Her age, build, skin tone, hair, eyes, facial features, attire, and distinguishing marks are all unspecified. She should be represented without invented visual particulars, perhaps in simple period clothing, with a quiet and dignified presence. No physical description of Maroca Polo is provided. The text does not specify her age, height, build, complexion, hair, eyes, facial shape, clothing, or any distinguishing features. Any portrait should therefore use restrained period clothing and avoid presenting invented traits as established fact.
