Maya ia a female character introduced in Killer Instinct 2.
Appearance
Maya is a South American woman with blonde hair, wearing leopard skin gauntlets along with bare feet, grieves, skirt and a bra, with several pouches on her thighs and a crown around her head.
Maya's appearance receives a drastic overhaul for Killer Instinct 2013. She no longer wears the leopard skin clothing and instead dons Incan style golden armor, including a chest piece, shoulder guards, gauntlets, greaves and boots. Her skin tone is slightly darker and her hair is longer, worn in tightly woven braids down her back. She also now possesses a distinct scar or tattoo running up her left leg, the significance of which has not been revealed.
Killer Instinct 2
Story
Made queen of the land of Amazonia after her part in banishing the dark lord Gargos. Cast out by her tribe as Gargos returns, Maya must vanquish him to regain her throne.
Extended Story
The return of the tyrannical Gargos to the ancient world is welcomed by few. Among his foremost adversaries are the Amazons of the great jungle, whose recently-crowned Queen, Maya, earned great respect for her part in the original banishment of the demonic warlords. Now that one of them has returned to lay his curse on the world, Maya's tribes folk cast her from the realm. Until the threat is permanently dealt with, she is forbidden to return.

Dagger Information - Maya posesses two daggers, a light and a dark one known as Temperance and Vengeance respectively. She can throw either of these daggers even in combos. However these daggers, when thrown, will not immediately return to her. If an opponent blocks or gets hit by one of her daggers, it will bounce off to which Maya can catch them. However, if she is too far away or she misses completely, she will have to manually pick them back up. If she is in a mirror match, these daggers will be marked with an icon showing who it belongs to. The daggers will return to her during her Ultra Combo.
- Missing Daggers- If Maya is missing a dagger, that button will trigger a kick of the same strength.
- Charging The Blades- Earn magical charges by forcing your opponent to block individual dagger strikes. Use Enmity Strike to spend all available charges.
- Temperance Charge 1- Spent when using Enmity Strike. Adds ricochet ability to the projectile.
- Temperance Charge 2-Spent when using Enmity Strike. Adds homing ability to the projectile.
- Vengeance Charge 1- Spent when using Enmity Strike. Adds durability to the projectile (can pass through and destroy other projectiles).
- Vengeance Charge 2- Spent when using Enmity Strike. Projectile becomes invulnerable.
Combo Trait - Dagger Linkers: If she is close enough in the combo, Maya can throw a dagger as a linker.
Instinct Mode: Possession Rite: Both daggers will always return to Maya no matter where she is and even if they were already on the ground when she activates Instinct.
Trivia: Her music is basically her remixed classic theme, "Jungle".
