Editing Maya (section)

==Appearance and Personality==
Maya is very similar in appearance to her younger sister Meena, but Maya wears next to nothing to better show off her body to her audience when she dances. Maya has long purple hair with bangs/fringe decorated with a silver hairpiece with green gems. She wears a silver brassiere, a long orange loincloth decorated with silver, and tan sandals. She also decorates her body with various silver accessories, such as a choker, bracelets, anklets, and an armband on her right upper arm.

Maya's outfit has remained consistent throughout her appearances in the series, with some additional accessories being added in the ''Heroes'' duology, but her design was changed slightly in some games such as ''Dragon Quest Treasures'' and ''Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince'' to avoid increasing the game's age rating in Japan. Maya's outfit is made less revealing by having her wear a triangular orange top under her metal bra and purple shorts under her loincloth.

Though during the game she is still grieving the death of her father, Maya is generally a very outgoing and playful, if slightly scatterbrained, person. Her occasional spells of ditziness are the main source of the sibling friction between the girls. One example is Maya referring to a cow in [[Aubout du Monde]] as "Moona". Oftentimes Maya will be distracted by the luxuries a town or castle has to offer, prompting Meena to remind her sister the true purpose of their travels. As shown in her activities in [[Endor]], Maya is overly frivolous with her and Meena's money. Combined with her addiction to gambling, Maya disastrously spends all their money on the slots, much to her sister's chagrin.

When Maya dances, she does so without inhibition, every movement filled with energy and freedom. This trait shows through in everything else she does as well, reflecting her impulsive and unrestrained nature. She has a noted gambling problem, a possible result of this trait. She finds towns without casinos or any kind of nightlife boring. Maya detests being in caves, contrary to her sister who has an affinity for them. However, she does love high places and states that she was very good at climbing trees when she was young.

Maya also has a flirtatious and playful side to her personality, and is seen to be appreciative of both [[Luceus]] and [[Aurora]]'s physical attractiveness in the ''Heroes'' series of games. She enjoys playfully teasing the normally serious Luceus. Despite her own coquettishness, Maya herself easily gets fed up with "eve-teasing men" as she puts it, and sympathises with dancers who work in bars. Maya seems to be have a preference for bad boys, as seen with [[Psaro (Character)|Psaro]] and [[Terry]], much to her sister's chagrin.
