Description
Born in Khlousia, she's had a tough life. Whether it be surviving day to day against the Sin Eaters, struggling to eat, or the manipulations of the nearby Eulmore, her first twenty-six years of her life has not had many bright spots. She was a rather ill trans-girl growing up, and had trained in thaumaturgy as she could, knowing to keep her distance from those that bump in the everlasting day. Her family had been known for being incredibly selfish, kissing up to the rich and privileged of Eulmore in order to survive, and ultimately ditched her in Gatetown to live alone.
Growing up, she became a decently impressive Thaumaturage, despite being self-trained. She also always kept a small sword on her, to slash things away that got too close. As time went on, she would have to often rely on meol handouts, leading to her getting infected, and when she realized what was going on, she was left for dead and throw into the seas below.
It was after that she found herself miraculously wake up on the eastern shores of La Noscea, in which she would wander confused on where she was, up until she found another lost and isolated wanderer along the way -- a particular Keeper by the name of Annabelle D'mure. The mysterious scholar had detected something special with Maya (namely, the infection) and proceeded to trick her into becoming a test subject, effectively kidnapping her through promise of work. In spite of this, Maya had always tried to keep an open heart, and started to realize just how often Annabelle's face had been filled with sorrow -- and in the long run, she would crack the Annabelle's cold exterior and managed to mutually open up to each other, helping redeem the hurt soul. Annabelle slowly became a tad obsessed with Maya, as she developed feelings for her, and Maya returned them after short time. They now are considered business partners, and later, Annabelle gave Maya a gift that made Maya realize that she should marry this woman. And from that day on, the duo worked together in research and love -- Maya being Annabelle's most valued test subject, this time voluntarily.
Enhanced and transitioned, the girl would find her way in the world with her wife, making connections and friends -- such as her best friend, Piano Kingsley, and closest comrade, V'ziva Mizi. Her eventual connections with the Thaumaturage's guild, and Ul'dah's underbelly (thanks to Annabelle's shady weapons and enhancements selling), she would, in time, be given the Soul of the Black Mage, physical proof of her self-taught talent and expertise with the craft. Eventually, she would join V'ziva's hopeful attempt at a mercenary group, eventually being considered second only to her, and during the most recent ventures.... she awakened to The Echo. Now... to present day.
She is currently training under a paladin mentor, practicing sword and spell together. Her traumas and grief has come on a head, and she has to deal with it before she loses herself to the pain. She's the main recruiter and second-in-command in Nirrvash, co-leader of Edith's Gate and her charm attracts many to her side.
