'''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''' 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.


==Appearance and Personality==
==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'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. This censorship is present in every version of the game, even the original Japanese, and is a result of the [https://www.cero.gr.jp/en/publics/index/3/ CERO ratings system] growing more strict. These stricter policies are why certain armours such as the [[scandalous swimsuit]] have been altered in later appearances compared to earlier games.


==Story==
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.
Chapter 4 is set with Maya and Meena performing at [[Laissez Fayre|a town populated almost entirely by entertainers and tourists]]. They use their job as a cover and the town as a base to investigate the murder of their father, a prominent alchemist. Though they suspect his apprentice, [[Balzack]], killed him in order to steal the [[Secret of Evolution]], they have nothing to back up their claim, and keep it to themselves for the time being.


After following the trail through several towns across the entire country, they finally confront the murderer at his castle. Unfortunately, after his defeat, his master, the [[Marquis de Léon]], soundly defeats them in battle and throws them into the dungeon. Luckily, its only other occupant points them to a secret exit, and after they escape they flee directly to [[Endor]].
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.


In Chapter 5, Meena is attempting to continue her fortune-telling business but Maya blows all the gold they'd earned on their journey at the [[Casino]], leaving them fairly stranded in the city. Luckily, the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]] has been told to seek out his destined allies, and locates Meena and Maya in short order. Maya swears never to gamble again and the two sisters join the player's party for the remainder of the game.
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 have a preference for bad boys, as seen with [[Psaro (Character)|Psaro]] and [[Terry]], much to her sister's chagrin.


Much further into Chapter 5, the party confronts Balzack, at [[Zamoksva|Castle Zamoksva]]. He has used an imperfect version of the Secret of Evolution to become Baalzack, but the party is still able to kill him, avenging the death of the sisters' father.

{{spoiler|start}}{{DQ4 Chapter 4}} is set with Maya and Meena performing at [[Laissez Fayre|a town populated almost entirely by entertainers and tourists]]. They use their job as a cover and the town as a base to investigate the murder of their father, a prominent alchemist. Though they suspect his apprentice [[Balzack]] had killed him in order to steal the [[Secret of Evolution]], they have nothing to back up their claim and keep it to themselves for the time being.


==Abilities==
After following the trail through several towns across the entire country along with their father's other apprentice [[Oojam]], they finally confront the murderer at his castle. Unfortunately, after his defeat [[Marquis de Léon]] appears and soundly trounces them in battle before throwing them into the castle dungeon. Luckily, its only other occupant points them to a secret exit and gives them the [[List of items in Dragon Quest IV#Key Items|Boarding pass]]. The jailbreak is noticed by guards however, causing Oojam to hold them off while the sisters flee directly to [[Endor]].
As a dancer rather than a warrior, 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 is present along with the rest of the Chosen in the near-future version of [[Reaper's Peak]]. She is sitting in the bar, bored with how dull the town is and expressing her frustration that Meena has already started telling fortunes. After venting, she reconsiders and thinks that resting even in a boring village can be alright if her little sister is enjoying herself.
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.
==={{DQ9}}===
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's outfit]] and [[Maya's bottoms]] - Received when first talking to her.
* [[Maya's bracelets]] - Received when the Hero is a [[Minstrel]]
* [[Sattriya sandals]] - Received after the inn is fully expanded
* [[Maya's mane]] - Received when it is the player's birthday
The player will receive the '''Dramatic Dancer''' accolade for wearing every part of the outfit.
==={{DQM3}}===
Maya, along with the rest of the Chosen Ones, appears in the Upper Echelon of the [[Circle of Conquest]] near the end of the game. The group intervenes when Psaro's elder half-brother [[Dolph]] summons his horde of underlings to attack, fending the mass of monsters off so that the family business can be settled. Not missing an opportunity to flirt, Maya declares that Psaro's isn't half-bad now that she's seen him up close. Maya departs with the Hero when he declares that the time isn't right for his battle to the death with Psaro.
==={{DQMBR}}===
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.
==={{DQH}}===
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.
==={{DQH2}}===
{{Section-Stub}}
==={{DQTact}}===
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.

==Trivia==
==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 Meena, in {{DQ7}}.
*Along with her sister Meena, Maya makes a cameo in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''.
*From June 10th to July 10th, 2016, a dessert called the "Manya Tea Parfait" was available at the real-life [[Patty's Party Planning Place|Luida's Bar]] in Tokyo to promote the release of ''Dragon Quest Heroes II''. Designed to look like Maya, it contains chocolate, milk tea pudding, black sesame marshmallows and is topped with silver confectionery candy. There was also a parfait based on Meena, as well.
* Maya's default outfit has necessitated some censoring in more recent entries of the series that wish to maintain ratings suitable for young children, especially in Japanese releases. To that end, her dancer's outfit has seen some alterations for slightly more modesty to comply with the ratings requirements for these titles.
