Position in Story

Maya appears in Episode 5; She greets the party and shows them around her lab, and agrees to help with the seed elimination. She's Basically Karen's Pseudo-Big sister; the two get along very well. On top of this, the few times karen faints, she's generally the first there, and also stays behind during the ohma fight to look after her. During chapter 8 where she, Ethan, Lou and Kanal Tomrain activate the Anti-seed weapon. However, when they come back, They find Lou, Kou taragi and the few others who were there Kidnapped. Upon finding this out, She breaks down into tears, showing that there's more to Kou and Maya than you'd expect. She is Kidnapped in a Magashi raid and taken to the hive at the end of chapter 11, then rescued during chapter 12. She was being exposed to a large amount of SEED cells in suspended animation, so as to mutate her, along with hyuga. When Ethan and Karen rescue her and Hyuga, they press deeper until they find Kou Taragi in a pod like maya's. He is rescued, but due to overexposure he mutates then and there, resulting in a fight between the beast and Ethan's party. After, he changes back to normal but is in a critical state, and dies then and there. Maya breaks into hysterics, to the point where she can't continue, so hyuga leaves to comfort her and take her back to the Landeel. She's later seen slightly cheered up at the Landeel afterparty.
