'''Maya Mahabala''' is a playable character in {{DQ4}}, first appearing in chapter 4. [[Meena Mahabala]] is her younger sister, though characters frequently mistake her as the younger sibling due to Maya's more childish demeanor. She is a dancer and mage on a quest to avenge the death of her father with her sister.

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 bra, 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.

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 ditzy-ness 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 boring.

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. 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 sympathizes with dancers who work in bars. Maya seems to be infatuated with [[Psaro (Character)|Psaro]].

As a dancer Maya is physically frail, possessing practically zero Strength, and the lowest {{Resilience}} and {{HP}} for much of the game. The tradeoff is that she has fantastic {{Agility}}, good {{Wisdom}}, a great deal of {{MP}}, and a very strong set of spells, including debilitating spells like [[Sap]], strong damage-dealers like [[Sizzle]] and [[Frizzle]], and oddities like [[Puff!]] where she can transform into a dragon.

Maya also appeared in the monster oriented variant of the town as shown in the {{Super Famicom}} Version of the game.  Unlike the remake she is instead in The Hero's house sitting across the table from a [[Feralball]], wondering where her sister, Meena is.

Maya appears as one of the special guests at the [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This could be obtained when the [[DQVC]] was available using Nintendo's Wi-Fi Channel. When spoken to, she gives the player different pieces of her outfit for fulfilling certain conditions.

Maya is one of the thirteen playable characters. She appears to have been mysteriously teleported to the land of Arba and is found dancing by both [[Alena]] and [[Kiryl]]. Her Coup-de-Grâce is Puff!, which transforms her into a mighty fire-breathing dragon, a reference to the spell she learns in her original game. Maya uses {{Fan}}s as her weapon of choice.

{{Section-Stub}}

Maya appears as a S-rank member of the [[Hero family]] as part of the limited ''True Dragon Quest IV'' event, appearing on his own banner alongside [[Pickeerer]]. She can participate in [[Healie|Healie's]] Battle Road as a party member.
