Basic Info

Name:	Maya Fey

Bio

STATS
[Name] Maya Fey [Race] Human, grey magic user [Ethnicity] American [Age] 19

APPEARANCE
Maya is a short and energetic young woman, rarely seen without a smile on her face. She stands just about five feet tall and has a buxom figure for her size, though her clothes make her appear less curvy than she is. She wears her straight black hair down to the middle of her back, with long bangs shadowing her eyes and a section of hair tied up into a topknot. Two long, thick strands of her frame her face and end in large purple beads. Her dark gray eyes are round and expressive, her face youthful and pretty, with round cheeks and a high forehead (hidden under her bangs). She almost always wears a bright and exuberant smile.

Maya’s clothes are the oddest and most noticeable feature of her appearance. Having been born in a village of spirit channelers with their own native costume, Maya wears a pale lavender robe with a purple sash around the waist, tied in a huge bow over her right hip, under a darker purple robe with sleeves that come to mid-forearm. Her feet are adorned with black and purple sandals, and she wears a strand of four large white prayer beads around her neck, with an odd pendant in the middle shaped like the number 9.

PERSONALITY
Exuberant and optimistic, Maya Fey is the sort of person who either cheers people up or annoys the heck out of them. She’s usually very friendly and sociable, always willing to chat up and get to know the people around her. She asks a lot of questions and attempts to draw people into conversation, always curious to find out what makes them tick. Maya’s a great person to have around at a party, being likely to mingle and try to make everyone feel welcome. Despite her friendly and outgoing nature, Maya’s social skills aren’t always entirely up to scratch; she has a tendency to make blunt observations and ask probing questions, whether in public or private, and does not seem to notice others’ discomfort with her frankness. Not the brightest of minds, Maya doesn’t often notice subtleties and undercurrents in peoples’ words and tones, and will either ask more questions or miss the point entirely.

Maya’s optimistic and trusting nature makes her an easy target for manipulative and tricky people; she does better at keeping herself out of trouble if she has someone to look after her. Once she chooses someone as a friend she is astonishingly loyal and will do anything to help or protect that person. If Maya ever lets down anyone who is counting on her, she takes it very hard, often becoming deeply depressed, although these episodes are usually short-lived. She’s happiest when able to use her talents to help other people.

HISTORY
Maya was born in the Americas, a divided nation where the major cities generally rule themselves. Being close to a major metropolitan on the west coast, Maya’s little village of Kurain, hometown to the entire extended Fey family, was able to sustain itself by offering its channeling services to clients in the big city. Along with her big sister Mia, Maya was trained in channeling techniques as she grew up, but she was separated from her family when her older sister went off to the city to pursue a legal career and her mother was shamed, scandalized, and forced to flee for fraudulently using her powers to nearly get an innocent person convicted of murder, or so the public believed. Outrage and superstition fell upon the Feys and their village; for years growing tension put the channelers at odds with the non-magical populace, who feared their power and the uses they might put it to. Before long fear evolved into anger and the threat of violence, and the Fey family, who had inhabited their village of Kurain for years, was forced to disband and go into hiding. Maya, traveling alone and unprotected, attempted to make her way to the city in search of Mia, but her older sister seemed to have disappeared entirely. Maya feared the worst.

Arriving in the city, Maya was able to stay out of trouble for a short while, but her clothing soon gave her away as a Fey and a spirit channeler. Fearing for her life, Maya fled to the only shelter she could think of—her older sister’s apartment, abandoned after Mia’s disappearance, or so Maya thought. There she met a mysterious man who called himself Godot and told her that he had known her sister, though he refused to go into detail, and said he didn’t know what had happened to her. But because Maya was Mia’s younger sister, Godot offered his protection, which Maya accepted. The two of them left the city together to get away from the angry populace that might try to hurt Maya because of her background and abilities.

From then on Maya continued to travel with Godot, using and developing her powers wherever they were wanted—despite superstition, it was never difficult to find people who wanted to commune with the spirit of a long-lost loved one. But because of the tendency of human beings to distrust what they don’t understand, even when it can be helpful to them, Maya and Godot never stayed in any one place for too long, always moving on at the first hint of trouble brewing.

Lately they’ve made their way to Europe and to Allupato, where Maya hopes to settle in for as long as possible, and perhaps finally find a home.

ABILITIES
A grey magic user, Maya’s specialty is communicating with and channeling spirits through her own body. She is able to see and speak with ghosts and can, if she chooses, call them into her body so that they can interact with the physical world. Maya has never learned any other spells and it’s doubtful whether she could; her magic is not particularly powerful and seems to take a lot out of her.

WEAKNESSES
Maya’s power has its dangers, especially when she channels. With a spirit inhabiting her body, Maya is completely out of control; the ghost inside her could do whatever he or she wanted without her being able to stop it, or even being aware of it. She has no memory of what happens while she is channeling and must trust the spirits she channels to keep her safe and eventually leave her body.
