ZRCN/Maia Astrella

Maia Astrella is an antagonist in ZRCN. She works for the Rossi Family, and is the younger sister of Uriah. 
== Appearance ==
Maia is of average height, with pale skin, and long wavy brown hair. She has thin arched eyebrows and turquoise eyes. She wears light eyeshadow and lipgloss.
She wears an off-white dress with short sleeves and a square neckline, it is tied at the waist by a dark blue ribbon. Over this Maia wears a dark blue jacket with two white stripes on the right shoulder. Maia wears a thin black choker with a star attached to it.
== Abilities and Powers ==
Whilst not very physically strong, Maia is still a dangerous opponent. Her small, unassuming appearance conceals a vicious fighting style. She often attacks without a plan using her semblance to simply increase the strength of her attacks with each consecutive hit to quickly overwhelm an opponent.
=== Semblance ===
Known as "Malice", Maia's semblance boosts the strength of her attacks with each consecutive hit on an opponent. Being forced to defend herself, having her attacks otherwise interrupted, or attacking a second target will result in her power returning to a base level.
=== Weaknesses ===
Maia relies heavily on her semblance to attack and as such struggles in fights with more than one target. Much like her brother, Maia often charge into battle without any sort of plan and can be easily defended against by a more careful and precise opponent.
== Trivia ==
=== Allusion ===
* Maia alludes to the Fool from King Lear.
** In the play, Goneril and Regan find the fool insolent and disapprove of his presence. Whilst Maia appears to be more trusted by Belleza, it is noted that Bianca finds her insufferable and difficult to be around.
=== Colour Naming Rule ===
* Maia's forename comes from Greek μαῖα (maia) meaning "good mother, dame, foster mother", perhaps in origin a nursery form of μήτηρ (meter). 
** Maia can also sometimes be derived from Maria, with one possible interpretation of the name being "sea of bitterness", bringing to mind shades of blue.
* Astrella means "star" in Anatolian.
