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. | 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'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. | |||
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. She finds towns without casinos boring. | When Maya dances, she does so without inhibition, every movement filled with energy and freedom.

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, 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. | |||

* 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. | |||
