Personality
The depths of Maya's character haven't been shown, but she appears a quite friendly girl as she was willing to participate in the class introduction.

Background
During elementary school, Maya was very earnest and had good grades, but since she was promoted to middle school, she had been going to have fun with her friends everywhere. During the first year and second year of middle school, she was absent in the majority of the classes. Although she changed during the third year of middle school, her current academic skills are at standstill.

Plot
Maya is shown in the classroom with the rest of her classmates.

In the Paper Shuffle special exam, Maya was paired with Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, whom she had taken a liking to, and had approached earlier and exchanged mobile numbers with. She flirted with him during the study session in the library, and clung to his arm later, when she met him at Keyaki Mall, going for the same movie, causing the by-standing Airi Sakura, to stifle a scream.

In Volume 7, she asked Kiyotaka Ayanokōji if he was fine with going out at the time, but he said that he was hanging out with the Ayanokōji Group, seeing her disappointed however, he felt bad for rejecting her twice (earlier she had asked him if he could go out for tea with her), and asked her if she'd be fine with going out in the winter holidays. Maya was ecstatic and happily agreed.

In Volume 7, Maya asks for Kei Karuizawa's help in planning her "date" with Kiyotaka Ayanokōji. Kei was surprised and suggested other boys to her, but she refused, and said that she only liked Kiyotaka. She told her plan to Kei and made some changes according to her suggestions, and later asked Kei if they could make it a "double-date", by also including her and Yōsuke Hirata. Eventually, Kei agreed and scheduled the double date on the 25th.
