=== Appearance ===
{{for|/Gallery|more images}}
Maya's appearance in [[Shadesmar]] is that of a woman{{book ref|oathbringer|87}}{{book ref|oathbringer|89}}{{book ref|oathbringer|93}} with scratched out eyes{{book ref|oathbringer|87}}{{book ref|oathbringer|93}}, though the appearance of this is similar to a painting with the features scratched out and not simply empty sockets.{{book ref|oathbringer|89}} She also has features that seem to be made of ashen brown cords the thickness of hair,{{book ref|oathbringer|87}} giving the appearance of rough cloth{{book ref|oathbringer|89}}, string{{book ref|sa3|101}} or brown vines{{book ref|sa3|117}}. She is described while attacking as having long nails.{{book ref|sa3|117}} She appears to be a dead cultivationspren who are described as being comprised of vines with crystal hands.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
In the [[Physical Realm]] she appears as a Shardblade. The blade itself is shaped like a larger version of a standard longsword and bears some resemblance to the enormous two handed broadswords traditionally wielded by Horneaters. The cutting edge is smooth and sinuous, like an eel, while the back has ridges of crystal.{{book ref|sa2|14}}. When summoned, the mist it forms from is in the shape of vines.{{wob ref|7095}}
=== Personality ===▼
▲== Personality ==
Not much is known about Maya's personality. Her face is devoid of emotion at all times{{book ref|sa3|101}}{{book ref|sa3|117}} and she mostly communicates via screeching.{{book ref|sa3|89}}{{book ref|sa3|117}} She always follows Adolin unless prevented, as deadeye spren follow or search out their corpses.{{book ref|sa3|101}} However, she did, of her own volition, protect him from a Fused. During the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], after Adolin talks to her, she tells him her name and even appears in his hand in seven heartbeats instead of the usual ten.{{book ref|sa3|120}} When Adolin gives her to [[Hrdalm]], she sends him a sensation of resigned agreement.{{book ref|sa3|120}} This suggests that "dead" spren are actually just broken. Like Syl said, spren are more like forces, you can't truly kill them, just break them.
