Reichu: Maya Ibuki. Referred to as “Ibuki” in NGE's script and “Maya” just about everywhere else.
HeWhoPostsStuff: I wonder if anyone at Gainax ever suspected that Maya, one of the more minor characters in NGE, would end up with a bigger fan base than her “sempai” Ritsuko?
Sharp-kun: Maya is remarkably popular for the amount of screen time she gets. I've been surprised by the number of other Maya fanboys and fangirls I've encountered. She doesn't have quite as much depth as Shinji or Asuka, but she still has a good number of personal issues to cope with. Again, something that will be dealt with when the appropriate cues crop up.
