BIOGRAPHY

For as long as humans have required vast amounts of labor to accomplish monumental tasks, slavery has existed and persisted as an institution. Even after the banning of chattel slavery in most Earth countries by the 21st Century, other forms still persisted, including sex and wage slavery. When the Outcasts arrived on Malta and began to stock their cardamine plantations with vast populations of slaves, they merely perpetuated the tradition of forced labor. Maya was one of the many unfortunate souls to be born into a life of bondage. At an early age, she was torn away from her mother and father during an auction, and she grew up barely knowing them. The only reason their names are known are because of medical records obtained from her former masters.

Maya's childhood, which was longer than most due to the effects of cardamine over the generations for her, was filled with day after day of harsh labor under the green sun of Omicron Alpha, harvesting that cursed orange grass. Like many, she was the subject of massive cruelty throughout her years as a slave. The only known information about her time on Malta is gleaned from her own personal stories, as record-keeping on her plantation was spotty at best. The unique fusion of varying cultures under a Hispanic umbrella led to her unique traditions and habits, including her multilingualism, experience in martial arts, and odd spiritual inclincations. Secretly, she was educated in the most basic of subjects through a clandestine curriculum run by left-wing Maltese dissidents that pushed for the abolition of slavery.

According to some accounts, she attempted to flee slavery for freedom three times, turning back the first two and finally making her definite escape on the third and final attempt. With money stolen from her masters, she bribed a Junker smuggler to allow her to stow away as he flew to Tau-37 to drop off cardamine at the local Freeport. From there, Maya stowed away aboard an IMG freighter bound for Planet New Tokyo. When she arrived, she felt truly and finally free. She was eighteen years old.

Her newfound freedom also brought with it many new obstacles and challenges she had not anticipated. Now faced with a world where she did not know the local language, had no connections or social ties, and the local culture was completely alien to her, Maya's chances of survival were incredibly slim. She was forced into a life of petty theft and prostitution, all while attempting to satisfy her addiction to cardamine. She has spoken little of this time, and based on previous attempts to glean information regarding it, the subject is a sensitive one. It is rumored that she had a daughter, Esmeralda, who was conceived illegitimately after contraceptives proved ineffective and in spite of her reduced fertility. She was forced to give up the child for unknown reasons when the baby was six months old.

After some years, Maya was rescued from the streets by a cell of Golden Chrysanthemums, who provided her support and acceptance. Under their care, she learned English and Japanese, and received a level of education previously denied to her on Malta. After a few years, she was a fully-fledged Sister. She never truly believed in the mission of the disciples of Matsuda, but felt obligated to fight with them after all they had done for her.

Her luck turned when the Chrysanthemums were tasked with escorting slavers bound for Malta. Unable to ignore the suffering of the would-be slaves that would suffer the same fate as she did, Maya boarded the Pilgrim Liner she was supposed to be escorting, holding the captain at gunpoint and forcing him to release his cargo. With their chains broken, the unwilling passengers of the liner took over, celebrating their liberator. When news of the betrayal reached the Chrysanthemums, they immediately scrambled together with Outcasts to track down Maya and punish her. In a chase that extended from Hokkaido to Coronado, the search party severely damaged Maya's Blossom, nearly killing her. She escaped them in the Barrier Nebula, but was only saved thanks to the assistance of Auxesian and Crayterian personnel. She enlisted with Auxesia after recovering from her wounds in the medbay of the Eidolon Wraith.

Time and time again, Maya has proven to be an extremely resourceful and surprising soldier in the service of Auxesia. She received the highest score of any non-Davara trainee during her final exam. During that exam, she made history as the first member of Auxesia to use capoeira to pass the close quarters combat test. She is quadrilingual, able to speak Spanish, Italian, English, and Japanese fluently. As more and more of her fellow inductees fall in combat, she has managed to survive cyclones on Wichita, and pursuit and combat with experienced bounty hunters in the rainforest islands. She remains incredibly private about her personal life, and generally attempts to keep as low of a profile as possible.
