Throughout the Series

In The 48, Maya is in a hazmat suit and is listening to music while she decontaminates and cleans Monty's old quarantine room. Her mask is ripped off by Clarke Griffin who had escaped her quarantine room by breaking a window and was now holding a shard of glass against Maya's throat. Clarke forces Maya to take her through Mount Weather to the Mess Hall where the residents of Mount Weather are sitting down to a meal. A woman looks over and sees Clarke holding the girl hostage and screams out there has been a containment breach, causing widespread panic with many covering their faces as they run from the dining hall. A group of Guards with full body suits and masks emerge with guns pointing towards her. Clarke looks around at the chaos she's just caused and asks "where am I?" in confusion. After Clarke is safely contained again, Maya and Clarke are re-introduced and Maya tells Clarke she won't press charges.

Later, Maya is sitting in the Mess hall when Jasper approaches her and starts flirting. She offers him her chocolate cake as Clarke comes over to apologize for earlier before she leaves again. Maya quickly realizes that Clarke had stolen her access card and she and Jasper start to chase after Clarke. They finally reach Clarke at the main door to Mount Weather with her hand is on the lever as she is about to open the door. Jasper and Maya beg her not to open it because if she does, then all of the Mountain Men will die from radiation exposure. Maya even goes so far as to get a gun out and is prepared to kill Clarke if she attempts to open the door. Jasper pleads with her, telling her that she saved lives when she pulled the lever that fired the rockets and to not make a mistake by pulling this lever now. Clarke allows herself to be taken into custody.

Maya then reveals another note, saying that the radiation leak that happened not long ago was not an accident.

Personality
Maya is a determined character with a gentle soul, and willing to help anyone in need. She has a revolutionary spark inside of her, which she got from her mother.

Physical Appearance
Maya is a short woman with long, dark, frizzy hair. Due to living in Mount Weather her whole life, she has very pale skin. The lack of sunlight exposure causes her to have a low level of melanin, and therefore, her skin is unnaturally pale. Artificial light doesn't react with the melanin in skin.
