Maya Mahabala is the character of Dragon Quest IV.

Appearance[]

Maya has a very similar appearance to her younger sister Meena, but Maya wears next to nothing, to better show off her body to her audience when she dances. Maya has long purple hair with bangs decorated with a silver hairpiece with green gems. She wears a silver bra, a long orange loincloth decorated with silver, and tan sandals. She also decorates her body with various silver accessories, such as a choker, bracelets, anklets, and an armband on her right upper arm.

Personality[]

Maya is generally a very outgoing, playful, and occasionally scatterbrained, person. Her occasional spells of ditzy-ness are the main source of the sibling friction between the sister. One example is Maya referring to a cow in Aubout du Monde as "Moona".

When Maya dances, she does so without inhibition, every movement filled with energy and freedom. This trait shows through in everything else she does as well, reflecting her impulsive and unrestrained nature. She has a notable gambling problem, a possible result of this trait. She finds towns without casinos boring.

Story[]

Maya and Meena are shown performing at a town populated almost entirely by entertainers and tourists. They use their job as a cover and the town as a base to investigate the murder of their father, an important alchemist. Though they suspect his apprentice, Balzack, killed him in order to steal the Secret of Evolution, they have no evidence to back up their claim, and keep it to themselves for the time being.

After they follow the path through numerous towns across the whole country, they finally confront the killer at his castle. Though they defeat their father's killer, his master, the Marquis de Léon, soundly defeats them and throws them into the dungeon. Luckily, the dungeon's only other occupant shows them to a secret exit, and they escape to Endor.

In Chapter 5, Meena is attempting to continue her fortune-telling business, but Maya blows all the gold they had earned on their journey at the Casino, leaving them fairly stuck in the city. Fortunately, the Hero has been told to seek out his destined allies and finds Maya and Meena. Maya promises never to gamble again and the two sisters join the Hero's party for the remainder of the game.

Eventually, the party confronts Balzack at Castle Zamoksva. He has used an imperfect version of the Secret of Evolution to become Baalzack, but the party kills him anyway, avenging the death of the sisters' father.
