Morianton's maidservant is an unnamed woman mentioned in the Book of Mormon, a religious text of the Latter Day Saint Movement.
After he cruelly beats his maidservant, she escapes his camp and discloses Morianton's plans to Nephite military leader Captain Moroni.
[1] Morianton's maidservant has been depicted in media works about Book of Mormon content a few times, including in a painting by the artist Minerva Teichert.
[10] In a commentary, Fatimah Salleh and Margaret Olsen Hemming call Morianton's maidservant "[t]he hero of this story" and aver that being a "servant, a woman, and a survivor of abuse all put her on one of the lowest levels of the social caste system, making her decision to become a spy one of the bravest actions in all of the Book of Mormon".
[15][a] According to art historian Marian Ashby Johnson, Teichert's use of lighting in the work creates a "strong emphasis" with "firelight as a radiant exclamation point to the girl's message".
