====Story====
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.

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 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.
