Maya

Maya is a Partner in Arcaea, designed after the Grand Prize winner of Arcaea Song Contest 3rd Movement, Abstruse Dilemma. She can be obtained via World Mode after purchasing the Lasting Eden song pack.
== Character ==
=== Name ===
Maya's Japanese name マヤ is written in katakana. Her Chinese name 摩耶 is read as "Maya" in Japanese, and is also the Chinese name of the mother of Gautama Buddha. The word "maya" has multiple other meanings in Hindu and Buddhist philosophies, mostly relating to magic or illusions, particularly the idea that wordly desires or the physical world are illusory in nature.
== Story ==
Maya is the main character of the Lasting Eden Story, and a key character in Lasting Eden Chapter 2.
== Gameplay ==
=== Stats by level ===
=== Skill ===
Maya alternates between two skills:
* Her initial skill ignores Random Restriction tiles in World Mode. This allows free choice of song within the restricted song list, or among all songs for Random non-Restriction tiles.
* Her alternate skill forces Random song select. The song pool will use the restricted song list when on a Restriction tile, and will use all available songs otherwise. Note that Beyond charts cannot be chosen. This skill also awards double World Mode progress after the song is played. The double bonus is applied to the total step progress after her partner STEP multiplier has been applied. 
Her initial skill is active when she is first unlocked. Her skill automatically switches between her initial/alternate skill after a completed World Mode play (regardless of Track Complete or Lost), in both normal and Beyond chapters. The skill will not switch if the player quits the song midway, or for any play outside of World Mode. The random effect of her alternate skill will only apply when playing in World Mode. Her skill will not reset to her initial skill after closing and reopening the app.
=== Other effects ===
Using Maya (unsealed or sealed) to play Arghena will re-trigger the visual effects that occur when playing it for the first time, provided Testify has been unlocked.
== Notes ==
Maya's sprite will change after unlocking Arghena, and will display a "Missing" text overlay and corruption/void visual effects. This change is purely cosmetic and will not affect Maya's skill or stats. It can not currently be reverted.
Maya's appearance will not change on a given device unless Arghena has been unlocked on that device, regardless of whether it has been unlocked on other devices with the same player account.
