|| Appearance ||
Maya is a very thin and an even-toned young lady. Because of her neat and organized attitude, she has this thing where even her body shape, size, weight, color, and anything else would have to be at a perfect standard, nothing less. She is quite thin, but not being bone thin, and has a slightly curved build, although it is hardly shown because of her clothing choice. What Maya tends to wear is red plaid and wool vest over a white shirt with a collar that is bound by a golden tie, sometimes accompanied by a green gem. Besides that, she also wears a plaid skirt with white frills at the bottom that goes just above her knees with lovely black shoes and socks that are just below her knees. There is just about always an ornament in her hair, being a bow or fake flower. The birthmark she bears is what appears to be half of a flower that extends from her neck to the height of her back.
|| Personality ||
Maya's personality really has two, or three if you'd like to believe, sides to her. Her first and usual personality is one she's willing to show to anyone, even her worst enemies. Her usual actions and words are very logical, wise, and mature. Although Maya has not become a fully-aged adult, she still chooses all her words very carefully, making sure to express how intelligent she can really be. This also means that her temper is very long. She can deal with a yelling child or a fussy adult for over days without end, being very patient and calm. That goes for when she's being offended too. Because of how clever she can be, she tends to take a liking and make a hobby of outsmarting both her enemies, friends, and just strangers.
Even so, she knows when she has lost. As much as she likes winning an argue, Maya is not competitive enough to continue her side of the argue when she knows she's lost her fight. Although she can sometimes be stubborn, Maya is still a very perceptive person and will be wise enough to know when to stop. This goes for when she's using her magic, fighting, arguing, or just simply debating. That doesn't mean she's not submissive though, in fact, she's nothing close to that. She's much more dominate, group wise, and likes to be at the top giving orders, but not because she's selfish. After all, she could make a great leader.
Maya is usually depicted as a strong and calm young woman, but once she tends to open up to that rare handful of people, most tend to then notice that she's actually quite the weak person. She thinks that she has no real strengths or talents and that she is actually a useless person. In reality, she kind of is, but always tries to make herself look good and well. While her intelligence and life-saving abilities can come in handy, she doesn't want to use them for a specific reason, which is why she deems herself to be useless. This is the one thing she refuses to face.

|| Weakness ||
ϡ Hidden Insecurity - As known, Maya, usually, would usually have some confidence in her actions, but she's actually not very confident at all, making her insecure. She's all anxious that if she makes one mess up, she'll be blamed for something huge that'll have a great impact on her.
ϡ Hesitation - Maya always hesitates when she must use her powers. She just simply hates using them and believes that her intelligence alone is more than enough than having to use an ability that she considers inhumane and monstrous. Therefore, she's always wanting to use her powers only when it is most needed.
|| God ||
Idunn (Norse Goddess); Idunn is the Norse Goddess of youth and springtime. Her name means she who renews and has several alternative spellings including: Indun, Iduna and Idhunna. She was one of the lesser known Aesir Goddesses who lived in Asgard. She is the keeper of the magical apples that give the Gods immortality. When Loki arranges for the giant Thiassi to abduct her all the Gods and Goddesses start to age and weaken. Loki is summoned by the angry Gods and is told to rescue her. He borrows Freya's falcon cloak and flies to the giants house. Luckily the Giant is out fishing so Loki transforms Idun into a nut, attempting to fly her home quickly before the giant discovers her missing. The Giant returns home early and changes into an eagleso he can give chase. The Eagle is faster than a falcon and the giant begins to gain on Loki. Odin sees them in the distance and instructs the Gods to light a fire once Loki has safely flown overhead. The Eagle is unable to stop and his wings burst into flames.

|| God's Blessing ||
The ability Maya has been granted is one that can restore anything back to the way it was. Although, it takes much more energy for larger items, damages, or wounds, she's capable of bringing anything back to the way it was with the time and energy granted, which can take from a few minutes to a whole few days, or even weeks. Unfortunately, this doesn't save very many people as healing others is not exactly what she masters. Her ability mostly focuses on living things, such as plants, or regular items like a table, etc. But don't think of this as a good thing; when she can also restore, she can also destroy. Maya's destructiveness is much less than her restoration though, luckily, but when she does use it, it tends to act like time; If she were to use her powers on a flower, it would age very quickly and wilt within a mere few seconds. Still, due to her fear of herself, she tends not to use either.
|| Skills ||
유 Intelligence - Maya's intelligence is beyond amazing, even for growing up in an average family. Her vocabulary is vast and as her choice of words as well. This has also helped with minor sports like chess, or just simply arguing with someone who won't back down. Because of how wise she can be, she is hardly beaten in a fight between words.
유 Reading - When it comes to reading, Maya can finish a whole novel, or a book around 300-400 pages, in around two or three hours. Four at the very most if she were reading slow. She can read anything and everything very fast, therefore explaining why is she so smart.
ϡ Befriended a God - The goddess that Maya has communication with is Idunn, and although she is mortal and she is a goddess, the two get along like mother and daughter, or even sisters. They both are polite and very lady-like, therefore leading to a good relationship between the two.
유 Martial Arts - A bit hard to believe because she appears to be such a polite and mature young lady who wouldn't even dare to lift her leg slightly, Maya is actually amazing at martial arts because her younger brother had taught her when they were younger. She is still a female, but she would obviously use it when needed for self defense, but self defense only.
|| Biography ||
Maya was born into a very average family. Her mother was a nurse and her father was a doctor, so nothing was really worth that much, especially in the poor place they lived in. She was the first to be born out of her two other siblings. She was born during a very average time, just like her family. Although the poor and very old town they lived in was still poor and very old, Maya was used to this, so although there was some struggle, she adjusted just as quick as the other children that were born somewhere around her time. Of course, she had to take on partial jobs like tending to the flowers at the nursery or organizing books at the library or school. There had to be something for her to do to help her parents since they still needed money to survive, just hardly dangling on the edge of having to move.
That was just what it was like during average times. Five years after Maya was born, then came the twins; a brother and sister. Maya's younger brother went by the name Dae while her little sister was named Ion. While Maya was born in the time that any child should be born in and usually would be born in, Dae and Ion were born in a very great time of need. Because of how poor their town was, something went wrong with their tiny little government, and that lead to very little money. Maya's mother and father struggled to find a legit person to hire them, but they never did.
In the end, the only thing they could do was move away. Maya had to separate from her friends as they took a ride far, far, far away. Then, they took a plane, far, far away. Maya never really figured out where she used to live, or where they moved to afterwards. What Maya remembers of it was that it was large, near the sea, modern, and incredibly crowded. She lived in a city with modern technology, things she hadn't seen before in her little town; phones, computers, and other larger things that made her wonder what she had never seen before. It was there where her parents found a good job and there were Maya and her siblings began to attend a school.
Her siblings, Dae and Ion, were average in their school studies. They weren't really anything special, to be honest, but they were proud with even their lowest grades, so they were easily accepted by social groups. Although this did have an effect on where they'd be placed in their classes, their personalities were bright and cheerful, so they had no problem with them moving from their old town into a new one filled with new and different people.
Maya, on the other hand, had an insane amount of trouble dealing with what had gone on in her life, even though she was only 15 years old at the time. She was in her sophomore year of high school, a public school that had many people, most who already made their close friends and weren't willing to make anymore. Because of this, Maya had a hard time blending in with groups. Especially because of her odd hair and eye color. Some people would think she was crazy and belonged in a mental hospital while others thought she was some sort of rebel that liked being different. Then, there were the strange students who believed she was one of those olden country styled girls who liked to dress fancy and talk fancy. Maya had no accent when she spoke, but she was still made fun of and was pushed away from other groups.
This was when Maya became isolated and became independent. She began to stay after class studying, spending all her time at home studying, and eventually, it all paid off. She moved up a whole grade when she was still a year or two younger for it all. People would still stare at her for her odd appearance, but soon began to admire how smart she was and she was being fawned at by her second year at her high school. This made her younger siblings envious since they only had the social life on their side while their sister had both the social life, and the grades. She would be successful and a great person. But it was, after all, too good to last very long. This only went on for a few months until the Marcasius family got a letter, saying that Maya was capable of enrolling into a new and much more advanced school.
No cost. Free education. Those were the only two words Maya's parents saw, and of course, they enrolled her without thinking twice. Maya disagreed. After finally getting used to her current school, she didn't want to have to switch schools a third time and have to adapt to that one as well. It would just be all too much stress on her shoulders, and she couldn't bare the thought of it. But her parents kept on pushing her to accept. They had a money problem before, and to hear of a very high level school that was free of charge? How could they resist after the frustration they went through at their old town?
Maya still didn't like the idea, but after another month of trying to persuade their daughter, she finally gave in. She was still very hesitant, of course, but it wasn't as if she could say no to her parents. After packing her bags, a few moments of crying with her parents and siblings, she headed off alone, only seeing them one last time at the house waving goodbye while she waved back. That was the only memory imprinted of them that she could remember before figuring out the truth about what was apparently called a school.
In fact, it wasn't a school. It wasn't anything of the sort. It was a building, a simple building, that was used to test on people. And apparently, Maya was one of the test subjects among others her age. She couldn't believe it, and she was frightened for the first few days, but being used to adapting, she eventually got rid of her fear. That's when she began to hear a voice, a woman's voice that kept on telling her things like, "You shouldn't be afraid." or "You can talk to me if needed." It was comforting but Sometiems she would think that she was simply going mad from all that had happened.
In the end, she figured out that the woman she had contact with was a goddess; Idunn. While it took a little while to get used to, Maya eventually grew used to her company and began to like it, as she was perhaps the only thing that kept Maya from going insane at that facility. By then, she took note of almost every person's name that had been there with her at the experimental building and took note of their odd abilities. From the very start, Maya saw it as a stupid thing to have. It could be used for bad purposes, therefore making Maya have a partial hatred for just the thought of having an ability, and especially her own ability. She's blamed it on Idunn for a while, but got over what she was gifted with. Just as she began to adjust, again, an escape plan was launched, and she, for some reason, went along with it.
