Maya Fey

Maya Fey is the Master of the Kurain Channeling Technique and, subsequently, the head of the Fey clan. A close friend of defense attorney Phoenix Wright, she was his primary assistant for the majority of his career between the years 2016 and 2019, mainly by participating in his investigations and providing co-counseling duties during trials. She has also frequently ended up as Wright's client, with the most known trials out of any client in the history of the Wright Anything Agency. Maya is spunky, perky, excitable, and outgoing. She exudes a childlike personality, being both impulsively curious and easily confused. She often acts without thinking things through, tries to touch strange objects without restraint, and goes on tangents that quickly stop making sense. During her time as Phoenix Wright's assistant, these qualities caused him to question her sanity on several occasions. She was very enthusiastic about Wright's job, having picked out many of the clients for him to represent in court, although she would often do so before consulting him first. This aspect of her personality has more or less stayed the same with age. Maya also has a very voracious appetite. She has a particular fondness for hamburgers and miso ramen noodles, and enjoys pepper on her hamburgers. She and Wright would frequent Eldoon's Noodles, which Guy Eldoon's father ran at the time. Many of Maya's tangents are based on hamburgers, and she has joked that she has four stomachs: one for burgers, one for steak, one for sweets, and one for other foods. She also likes peanut and jelly sandwiches. Despite her childish and seemingly naïve nature, Maya has demonstrated wisdom through many grueling trials. She is stubborn and persistent, looking out for those she cares about and holding out hope despite overwhelming long odds. Her tenacity, optimism, and loyalty to those she cares about have been important, sometimes even critical, to Wright's successes in court. She consistently puts others before herself, reminding Wright to fight for justice even when her own life was at stake, and staying strong for Pearl despite having witnessed her own long-lost mother's death, putting Pearl's pain over indirectly causing it before her own grief. This wisdom has come out more explicitly with age, for instance when giving advice to Rayfa Padma Khura'in. Compared to her younger years, she also displays greater courtroom proficiency and confidence, able to assist Wright without channeling her sister. Maya is a huge fan of the Samurai franchise including The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo, The Pink Princess: Warrior of Little Olde Tokyo, The Nickel Samurai, and The Zappy Samurai: Electric Bugaboo.
