====Kamisato Rescue Arc====
==Abilities==
As a ghost, Maya possesses a number of paranormal qualities. Maya herself doesn't know what a ghost or a soul really is, but pictures it as something like a smell; if she can rub the smell of her life onto something before it fades with time, she can live on and if she can't produce the original smell, she has to protect the current one, as once it disappears it would be the end for her.
Lacking a physical body, Maya makes use of , drones which emit imperceptible low frequency waves and aromas, to create an artificial haunted location to sustain her existence and exert corporeal influence. She also maintains her own scent through eating vegetable sticks and sipping sweet drinks. As well as being supported by a scent, her body also produces a scent, creating a cycle which can be built up to run in a manner similar to that of a .
By altering the mix and distribution of these parts, the scent and the 'haunted location', compared to a prism that separates light and how the status of a ghost in a ghost story depends on how the story got started and where it came from, Maya's form can be changed, from something like a harmless wandering ghost to a gigantic destructive spirit. If the balance is disrupted, it can cause her to lose her shape and collapse. Chapter 4 Part 10
Maya primarily specializes in aerial surveillance, information warfare and long-range bombardment. Chapter 4 Part 2
