Profile
Maya is a sensitive young woman who often hides her eyes or retches during the more violent Eva battles. When the JSSDF soldiers are storming Nerv headquarters in Episode 25', she also refuses to fire on any of them.
Maya has some girlish affectations, including having a rabbit-face sticker on the side of her laptop screen, and a pink cat pillow. She enjoys reading romance novels during a slow day at Nerv.
Maya’s cat pillow might be related to Ritsuko Akagi’s affinity for cats, since Maya has a strong bond with Dr. Akagi.
At first it only appears to be a professional admiration, enhanced by Maya always referring to Ritsuko as "Ritsuko-sempai" or merely "Sempai", an honorific directed towards a person of higher rank. However, Maya’s transition guide in Episode 26' takes the form of Ritsuko Akagi, who types "I need you" on Maya’s laptop with her hands over Maya’s, and then embraces her. Before turning to LCL Maya cries "Sempai! Sempai! Sempai!" with a look of ecstasy, tears flowing from her eyes. This suggests that Maya was secretly in love with Ritsuko, though whether Ritsuko knew about this attraction or reacted to it is uncertain. Some have taken Maya’s appearing uncomfortable when Kaji flirted with her to be further proof of her sexuality.
Notes
- Despite being a minor character, Maya has appeared on several pieces of merchandise, either on her own or alongside the more significant female characters. Hyuga and Aoba do not receive this kind of attention.
