Appearance and Personality

Maya in the Anime
While she is actually in her 40's, her appearance gives off the impression that she's in her 30's. [1] She looks to be 30 years old but is actually 47 years old in February of 2097. [7]
Unlike Miyuki's beauty that defies description, Maya
is a woman full of feminine charms and enchanting mature beauty. [1] She wears a wine red formal one piece dress. [7]
She is so fearsome that even her cousin, Kuroba Mitsugu, is terrified of her. It is mentioned that she has a good sense of humor and a willingness to join in on a good joke. [8]
Background
When she was around twelve, Maya was kidnapped while visiting Taipei as part of a cultural exchange program sponsored by the Asian Branch of the International Magic Association. Her fiancé, Saegusa Kouichi, who was with her during the kidnapping, lost an eye trying to save her. [9]
Maya was raped and experimented on by her kidnappers from Dahan's infamous Kunlunfang Institute. [9] After she was recovered, Maya's elder sister, Yotsuba Miya, turned all of her experiences into information, separating the emotions from the memories to prevent the experience from overwhelming her sister's battered psyche. As a result, she claimed that Miya had killed her, as experiences are what make up a person and their personality. [9]
Glimpse of the Yotsuba Twins in the Anime.
Due to that incident, Miya and Maya no longer had the warm sisterly bond they had shared before the incident. Maya also lost the ability to procreate due to the experiments, and her betrothal and relationship with Kouichi were called off (due to the loss of her emotional bonds as well as her inability to bear children). [9] Maya is single and has never married. [10][11]
Though it was for a short period of time, both Maya and Miya were students of Kudou Retsu. [12] Kouichi was also under his tutelage. [13]
She also spends great amount of time researching magic.
