'''Maya Mahabala''' ('''Manya''' in Japanese, '''Mara''' in the NES localization) is a playable character in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'', first appearing in chapter 4. [[Meena Mahabala]] is her younger sister.

'''Maya Mahabala''' (マーニャ, '''Manya''' in Japanese, '''Mara''' in the NES localization) is a playable character in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'', first appearing in chapter 4. [[Meena Mahabala]] is her younger sister. She is a dancer and a mage on a quest to avenge the death of her father with her sister.

==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.

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, if slightly immature, person. When she 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 nature. She seems to have a 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.

==Other Appearances==

===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===

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.

===''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road]]''===

Maya can be summoned to perform a special attack. After leaping from the wagon, she performs Dancing Dragons, a dance which summons two fiery serpents, which she launches at her enemies.

===''[[Dragon Quest Heroes]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest Heroes II]]''===

Maya is one of the thirteen playable characters in the first game. 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 [[Fans]] as her weapon of choice.

==Trivia==

* At level 30, Maya learns a spell that can turn her into a dragon. This is also her High Tension super move in ''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below]]''.

* There is a pair of sisters in [[Greenthumb Gardens]] who are a reference to Maya and her sister, Meena, in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''.
