{{spoiler|start}}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.

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.


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]].

In Chapter 5, Meena is attempting to continue her fortune-telling business but Maya blows all of the gold they had earned on their journey at the [[Casino]], leaving them fairly stranded in the city. Luckily, [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)| the 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.

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, thus avenging the death of the sisters' father.{{spoiler|end}}

As a dancer 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 Nintendo Entertainment System|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.

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 [[Fans]] as her weapon of choice.
