Maya
supporting
Maya is a young software developer, around 20-25 years old. She has medium-length, dark brown hair styled in a practical, slightly messy ponytail, with some wispy bangs framing her face. Her eyes are large and expressive, a warm brown color, often narrowed in intense focus, characteristic of Manga art style. She has fair East Asian skin and a slender, average build. She typically wears comfortable, casual clothing suitable for long hours at a computer, such as a dark blue or grey zip-up hoodie over a light-colored graphic t-shirt, and dark jeans. She might wear subtle, rectangular-framed glasses perched on her nose when concentrating. She is almost always seen with a computer or tech device.
