## Biography

### *Soukyuu no Fafner*

Maya visits Shouko Hazama before she goes to school and she wonders if Shouko can go to school. Seeing her response, Maya sits down on her bed and wonders why her mother scolded her yesterday to which Shouko responds that Maya could be late because of her. Maya tells her not to worry and says that she is glad to see her doing better than yesterday. Maya goes to school and asks Soushi Minashiro how Tokyo was but she is disappointed as he didn't meet any celebrities. An alarm goes off which confuses her and she quickly makes her way to Shouko's house, seeing a barrier disappear on her way. She arrives at Shouko's house and helps her evacuate. They see a nearby shelter and a woman yells to them that they need to go to Alvis. As Maya tells Shouko to hurry, the woman with her family suddenly disappear by a blackhole and the two are horrified at what they just saw. Maya and Shouko are revealed to be alive after the battle against the Festum ends. She brings Shouko home and tells Kouyou Kasugai that she is fine. After dropping Shouko home, she goes home herself and she is mad at her sister for lying to her about where she was. The next day, Maya visits Shouko after the memorial and tells her that Kazuki Makabe and Soushi have been going to the basement a lot these days. Shouko responds that she wants to go with him and Maya teases her, asking with which one she wants to go.

Maya sees her mother before she leaves her school. She then visits Shouko and shows her the photos that were taken during the field trip. Maya is one of the candidates to become a Fafner pilot, however, it appears she has a physical handicap, which causes her to be assigned to the CDC. Later that day, Maya is searching for her dad's camera when her sister enters her room. The next day, Maya and her friends are brought to Alvis and are shown around. When they arrive at the underwater observation room, Maya takes a photo of her friends. Maya is at the CDC when suddenly an alarm goes off and she wonders what is going on. Maya stands before Yukie Kariya with her friends when she exists the CDC but she doesn't respond to any of their questions. Maya states that she always answered their questions to which Yukie responds that they aren't at school. Sometime later, they hear someone singing.

Maya is flying around in her jet and is being trained by Kyousuke Mizoguchi. She tries to lock on Kyousuke's jet but he dodges it, stating that she can't overtake her enemy by just flying faster. Maya requests another trial and jokingly calls him dad. During their training, they encounter an unknown flying object and Maya is surprised to hear that it is a Human Army's transport craft. She then follow Kyousuke's lead when they see wormholes appearing and he mentions that this is her graduation exam before she contacts the craft. Seeing her mentor in danger, Maya distracts the Festum just enough for him to escape and gets back into the shields before the Festum is able to attack her. She contacts the CDC and asks for permission to board her Mark Sieben, which are granted, and lets Soushi Minashiro that she will be boarding her Fafner. She chases after one of the clones on sea and easily takes it despite the resistance of the air. After the battle is over, she enters the medical room Soushi and Kenji Kondou are in, wondering if they should let the Human Army meet Miwa Hino. Seeing what Kenji means by telling her to put some clothes on, Maya jokingly responds that the duo still got a lot to learn despite being doctors. With everything finished, Maya goes to Rakuen in order to help him out with dinner where the Human Army pilots are brought to and Maya is surprised to hear Jonathan Mitsuhiro Bartland's name.
