## Series Information

### Portrayed by

Ayumi Roux

**Maya Etienne** is a main character in the second generation of ***Skam France***. She is the central character of the ninth season and a main character in the sixth, seventh, eighth and tenth seasons. She is a member of La Mif and Lola Lecomte's ex-girlfriend. After dropping out of high school, she worked at a supermarket and as a supervisor at Dorian High School. She is an original character in Skam France.

## Background

Maya was born on October 13, in 2001 in Lyon, to Romain and Emiko Etienne. She grew up surrounded by her parents and her grandmother Suzanne, who taught her how to swim during summer holidays. Every Christmas, Emiko would knit the family new sweaters. Her mother was Japanese, and would tell Maya "the moon is beautiful tonight" in Japanese every evening, as a way to say "I love you". Her father was an alcoholic, leading Maya to abstain from alcohol and drugs. When she was 11, her father drove whilst intoxicated, causing an accident that killed both him and his wife; Maya was also injured in the crash, and would later cover her scar with a tattoo. After the death of her parents, her grandmother would put hundreds of daisies on her son and daughter-in-law's graves as it was her son's favorite flower.

As an orphan, she alternated between living at the ASE and with different foster families, but was never adopted due to her age; many of these foster families were violent and only took her in for money. She wasn't adopted by Suzanne as her health deteriorated due to her having Alzheimer's, which caused her to be placed into a nursing home for the elderly. Maya cut contact with her for 3 years as Suzanne asking after Emiko and Romain upset Maya, who was not able to go through with recounting the accident each and every visit. Though she once attended the same school as Jo Benezra, Max Bernini, and Sekou, Maya later dropped out and officially formed La Mif with them through urbex. After her last foster family disapproved of her sexuality, she decided to run away and start working. She secretly stayed with Jo before getting her own apartment.

At an unknown point before Season 6 she was in a romantic relationship with Max, though they struggled when he came out as trans, as Maya is only attracted to women. They eventually broke up when Max realized he needed to prioritize his transition despite being deeply in love. They remained best friends, with Max often acting protective and distrusting her girlfriends, including Charlotte and Lola Lecomte. In an Instagram story during 6x06, La Mif mention that Maya had 18 girlfriends between 2019 and 2020.

***Fuck the planet (Wednesday 1:03pm)***

Lola arrives late to her community service hours, to find Maya already sending the others off telling them enthusiastically that they're saving the planet today. Lola apologizes telling her the train got blocked, and Maya tells her not to worry, but since the others have already gone she's stuck with her. While they walk together picking up garbage, Maya asks why Lola has community service and she jokes that she's there for fun, then that she had robbed a bank. Maya states that Lola doesn't want to tell her, and Lola says she doesn't want her to think of her differently. Maya says she doubts that Lola cares what she thinks, and Lola asks why Maya is there. Maya tells her that she is there because of ecological awareness and that saving the marine life is her passion. When they come across a condom, they debate over who has to pick it up, until Lola gives in saying that even when she knows the guy she won't touch it. Maya tells her that she's never touched one in her life, and when Lola asks if she's a virgin, Maya tells her that she is with guys, making Lola smile.

Maya later texts her an apology and the location of the party, where Lola meets Maya's friends, La Mif and they accept her into the group. She starts to hang out with them often and their feelings for one another grow. When Maya finds out about Lola's addiction problems, she is reminded of her father and backs off, even getting a new girlfriend. Lola confesses her feelings and Maya slowly comes around, but when Lola goes on a bender she tells Maya that she is toxic and breaks up with her. After a talk with Eliott, Lola realizes that she made a mistake and they get back together. Eventually Maya's landlord kicks her out and she moves in with Lola while she looks for an affordable apartment, and Lola tries to convince her that they should just live together. In the end Maya finds a great new place and Lola agrees that it may be too soon to live together.
