{{translation|'''Maya'''|マーニャ|Mānya}} is a playable character in {{DQ4}}, first appearing in chapter 4. [[Meena]] 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 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 censored in ''Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince'': she now wears a triangular orange top under her metal bra and purple shorts under her loincloth | 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 censored in ''Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince'': she now wears 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 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. | 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.

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.

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. Her weapons are mostly [[Knife (weapon type)|knives]] and [[Wand (weapon type)|wands]], but she is also able to equip the [[Cobra claw]] and [[Gringham whip]] in remake versions. Her selection of armour is limited to clothing, robes, and hats. The only shield she is able to equip is the [[Liquid metal shield]]. | ||

She appears to have been mysteriously teleported to the land of Arba and is found at [[the Shrine of Scales]]. The party encounters her during a dance performance and is approached by her friends [[Kiryl]] and [[Alena]], who is overjoyed to see her. Maya is captivated by either [[Luceus]] or [[Aurora]], depending on who the player picked at the beginning of the game, and believes them to be a strong, handsome, rich hero. She will join the party after the story quest "Strangers in the Shrine" and is the last character to automatically join. | ||
Maya joins at level 31 and with 139 skill points to freely allocate. Her fighting style lets her rack up combo hits very quickly, allowing her to hover once she lands 100 hits or more. She uses [[Fan|fans]] as her weapon of choice and she is able to cast the [[Sizz]] series of spells. 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. | |||
