CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: Maya the Siren
Age: ~27
Canon: Borderlands
Canon Point: End of Dragon Keep DLC
Character Information: A general summary of her background can be found here, while a detailed glimpse of the audio files containing her backstory can be found here.
For safety’s sake, a more detailed description of Maya’s history can be found below:
Being a mythical siren, one of six women with exceptional powers, Maya has carried a heavy burden on her shoulders. The people of Athenas once expected her to be a resolute force in a coming darkness. The monks expected her to be a force to carry our their will. After being tricked for most of her life into believing that she was destined for greatness -- to save the world from a coming disaster. After discovering the truth, that she was a tool for a group of greedy zealots, Maya killed her mentor and left her home.
Maya’s hope was that she would find answers of her so-called “siren lineage” on Pandora. Back on Athenas, she had heard of the research being done by Patricia Tannis, and learned that she might be connected to the alien race known as Eridians. Her hopes were quickly dashed on Pandora -- there was barely information to be found about where she came from. Everything she did find related to the Vault. With nothing else to go on, she set out on a train with the other vault hunters. Said train was a trap lain by Handsome Jack, and set the stage for Borderlands 2.
Personality:
Being a mythical siren, one of six women with exceptional powers, Maya has carried a heavy burden on her shoulders. The people of Athenas once expected her to be a resolute force in a coming darkness. For 27 years, Maya trained tirelessly to be that force, and the monks hoped to turn her into a graceful sort of messiah.
In truth, though, Maya is a little awkward and a lot unsocialized, as evidenced by her oh-so-profound greeting of “Uh… Hi” after being announced to the public.
While at times, Maya exudes a calm sort of energy, there is also a layer of immaturity and mirth beneath her surface. When presented with unique weaponry, Maya will often let out breathless exclamations
Though most of the time, Maya comes off as calm, or at worst, awkward, in moments of high stress or tension, she is capable of snapping into an fierce rage. When she discovered Sophis’ deceit, that her entire life had been a lie, she went from simply being confused to phaselocking and killing her former mentor. In combat, Maya will often utter more flippant, silly lines, or even giggle at the resulting gore, but when things come down to the wire, she doesn’t hesitate to fly into fury.
That being said, Maya herself remarks that she does not consider herself an angry person (of course, this comes right before remarking that she would like to rip out her own voicebox). Calm seems to have been at the core of her training, though she herself remarks on this with some doubt ("Treasure the moments of inactions" "The monks didn't know what the hell they were talking about"). Nevertheless Maya is a stalwart rock compared to her psychotic and and anarchistic companions.
What happened to Maya on Athenas seems to have instilled some amount of cynicism in the woman, however. As she attempts to make the baby cry during the “Wedding Day Massacre” DLC, she remarks that “Everyone will tell you small lies, except the people you love, who will tell you large ones.”
Likely, curiosity is one of Maya’s most prominent personality traits. Throughout the course of her adventure, she often remarks that there is “always more to learn,” and one of the things she wishes to buy with her untold riches in the Tiny Tina DLC is more books. Ultimately, it is that curiosity that drives her to set out to Pandora. While Sophis’ actions drove her to the point of fleeing her so-called home, her desire to know more about herself and the sirens that came before her is what sets her on the course for Pandora.
