Maraya (2017 version)

==Description==
Maraya Star Adams is a 16-year-old girl who is diagnosed with autism and OCD (and also epilepsy later on in the thirteenth series). She is the only girl who rides Ms. Carolyn's bus, 158M, and she is in Ms. Sherrit's class with her friends. She appears in a brand-new 2017 series called "My School Life."
==Appearance==
===My School Life===
Maraya is a 16-year-old autistic and obsessive-compulsive girl who rides Ms. Carolyn's bus and goes to Northgate High School. In the series, she usually wears a light pink shirt (also worn in the series "The Bus Crew") with an unbuttoned light blue collar shirt over it. She wears black pants, socks and shoes that go with her school outfit. Maraya has long, brown hair that is evenly parted and has brown eyes that are more realistic than all the other 11 series.
===My Continued School Life===
In this sequel series, Maraya is now a junior who somehow turns 17 in the episode "I'm Seventeen and You Know What I Mean". She is known to not be the "only girl" anymore because Sydney and Novalee joined with her. Her new appearance for junior year is a short sleeve light pink shirt with darker pink stripes, black capris, and hot pink socks with dark gray shoes that have a black trim.
===Maraya + Ms. Carolyn = Best Friends Forever===
In this anime-influenced series, Maraya is 23 years old and lives with Ms. Carolyn, who is 81, instead of her family. Her even newer appearance includes a hot pink shirt with black pants, white socks, and the same dark gray shoes with black trim. She also has shorter hair and has two little pigtails tied with light pink bows. Her eyes have also changed to an anime eye shape.
==Personality==
===My School Life===
Maraya's personality is very imaginative and usually thinks of great ideas for her friends. In the episodes "Cheerleader Practice Chaos" and "Self Control of the Body", she goes to after-school cheerleading lessons at Ms. Carolyn's house with her friends Carmen, Novalee, Ashley, Erin, and Nicki. She also had agrizoophobia in the episode "Special Zoology Education" until Ms. Carolyn helped her overcome it by teaching her facts about some wild zoo animals. In the episode "Carolyn's Sweethearts", she was promoted by Ms. Carolyn to become the assistant lead singer in their band of the same name. In this series, she worked at three jobs, which was an office worker at the RLC in the episode "Focusing on My Job", a shelf stocker in a grocery store in the episode "Professional or Not Professional?", and a trainee/cashier in the episode "Working at the Goody-Will". Also in the episode "Professional or Not Professional?", she mentioned that she was oversensitive to loud noise because of the crowds. Maraya usually learns a lesson from Ms. Carolyn in almost every episode of series 12 and 13.
===My Continued School Life===
Maraya's personality is nearly the same, except for a few differences. She no longer participates in any after-school activities like she did in the previous series and also had two more fears to replace her agrizoophobia. Her first fear was food neophobia, as seen in the episode "School Lunch Catastrophe". She had it until Ms. Carolyn and her friends helped her overcome it by cooking the same items that were on the monthly lunch menu. Then later in the episode "Stranger Danger in the Community", she had xenophobia, which was a fear of strangers, that caused her to get in trouble in the grocery store for running away from a stranger that needed help from her. Just like series 12, she still learns lessons from Ms. Carolyn in almost every episode.
===Maraya + Ms. Carolyn = Best Friends Forever===
Because Maraya no longer goes to school anymore, she is a hard-working caretaker for Ms. Carolyn and Mr. Danny because they are too old to take care of themselves now. She also owns a red self-driving car that will get her to Ms. Carolyn's house and other places by telling it to take her there.
