Maya Fey
Maya Fey (known as Mayoi Ayasato in Japan) is a character from Capcom's Ace Attorney adventure game series. Introduced in the very first game, Maya is a spirit medium-in-training of the Fey clan, whose female members have the ability to communicate with spirits and allow them to temporarily return to the real world by possessing their physical bodies. She is the younger sister of recently murdered defense attorney Mia Fey. Maya is accused of murdering her sister, but Mia's mentor Phoenix Wright successfully defends her innocence. Maya then becomes Phoenix's primary companion for most of the Ace Attorney original trilogy.
In Queen of /v/ tournaments, Maya has proven to be a strong competitor due to Ace Attorney's popularity in the board, and is well-liked for her cheerful personality and chemistry with Wright. She has reached the Elite Eight two times (2019, 2022) and consistently ranks among the top seeds, but is arguably someone who benefits from the "silent majority".
Tournament History[edit]
Maya holds a special distinction for being the very first girl nominated in the inaugural 2019 contest, causing her to occupy the "top seed" spot in the bracket even though there were no seeding methods implemented at the time. She comfortably reached the Elite Eight stage, then squeaked past Roll by 2 votes in the quarter-finals before going down to Samus Aran in the semis, and then bowing out to Midna to finish at fourth place. Her 2019 performance paved the way for other Ace Attorney main characters to create their own first impressions, with Phoenix matching her fourth-place finish in the 2019 King contest, Mia coming fairly close to making the Elite 8 in Queen 2020, and finally Edgeworth placing seventh in the 2020 King edition.
The spirit medium returned in Queen of /v/ 2021 as the #8 seed in the bracket, but fell victim in the second round against the meme pick Ebony & Ivory - Dante's guns from Devil May Cry.
Maya returned the next year with a slightly higher seed of #4, and a much better performance by reaching elite 8 again after beating Hex Maniac in the round 4 match. Her journey would stop in the Quarter-Finals after she lost to the surprisingly slick-slithering snake girl Alipheese, she would then go on to rank 7th place in the 5th-8th consolation match.
Maya will be eligible again in Queen of /v/ 2024.
