To all the people out there who say that reading novels never does anyone good, please take a look at Maya Schroedinger. Once, an ordinary girl, she is now a successful drifter of the wastelands and an occasional savior of the world. For all the accomplishment she had achieved, she can only thank the books she dearly loves; books that expanded her imagination and drove her to reach for her dreams.

...okay, so her ability to change into any character she reads about may have helped a bit too. Hush ye.

As in the Filgaian Wastelands, Maya's transformation abilities gives her quite an edge in the DL. Depending on what form she chooses, Maya can slaughter fighters with the frightening power of the unevadable Calamity Jane, make mages cry with a simple Reflect or Eraser spell, or pound people to the ground with Eagle Claw counters. This skill makes her a dangerous foe in the arena, as her various conquests in Heavy found out.
