Maya is a mermaid from the same pod Lyla, Nixie, Sirena, and Aquata are from. Maya and Aquata are best and closest friends, since they are often seen traveling together. She was the one compelled to report that a boy had fallen into the Moon Pool under the girls' watch during the Full Moon, which had resulted in exiling them from rightful home, and forcing the rest of the mermaids to move to the Pacific Ocean.

Maya has appeared only in one episode, therefore relatively little is known about her personality. Although, when she was in the discussion about the girls' banishment, she had a strict attitude. Judging by her personality she must try to follow in the steps of the mermaid council leader Veridia, strict but cares about her peers.
