Maia Mercado

Maia Mercado is a sim living in Bridgeview, Newcrest. She competed on Season 1 of Love Desert as a bombshell, where she was eliminated on episode 9 in 14th Place. She isn't very well-known for anything in particular, other than her photoshoot mini-challenge win on episode 7 alongside Kamara Hussein.
== Background ==
Maia was created by Hannah, specifically to compete as a bombshell on Season 1 of Love Desert. Her name, like most other contestants, is a randomised yet somewhat generic name. 
Maia recently underwent a light cosmetic overhaul. Unlike such huge transformations as Peach or Juliet, Maia's only major changes were better eyebrows and makeup, as opposed to altering her natural beauty. 
She now lives in Bridgeview, Newcrest, in an apartment with fellow Season 1 contestant Juliet Blakely, across the road from the mental hospital. 
== Relationships ==
=== Relationship with Papa Mario ===
Maia and Papa were briefly coupled up during Season 1. It wasn't received well. They are on good terms.
=== Relationship with Kamara Hussein ===
Maia and Kamara were also briefly coupled up during Season 1. They won a mini-challenge together, then promptly chose other partners. They are on good terms.
=== Relationship with Juliet Blakely ===
Maia and Juliet never had notable interactions during Season 1, but as of recently, they live together as roommates. They probably bonded over being forgettable Season 1 contestants. They also genetically combined to create Brandie Mercado, a Season 5 hopeful. Needless to say, they get along well.
== Trivia ==
* She's the first of 3 contestants with both a forename and surname starting with the letter M. All 3 were created by Hannah.
** The others being Mariela Meehan (Season 3) and Maddison Mann (Season 2).
* Her name is Spanish for "market". Some judges found that funny during the season. 
* Maia's only two partners on Season 1 both ended up marrying one another (Kamara and Papa), and almost winning All-Stars together.
