She is shy but friendly, definitely a woman who is more comfortable observing others than having the attention focused on her. She lives near the park in a small cottage that she used to share with her querido Berry Hewes. She also keeps an apartment upstairs from her gallery--Sol & Luna--in Ealdwic. She carries herself with the quiet gracefulness of a woman who has earned the life she leads. Maya tries very hard not to burden others with her problems and is very private about her own heartaches. Anyone who deals with her will find her to be friendly, loyal, and kindhearted. Most would never guess by looking at her the dark years she suffered through to finally find her bright place in this secret world. Those who get glimpses of her true fierceness are usually friend or foe. The latter rarely survive. If you take the time to get to know her there will be that moment--the one where she smiles at you and all you can think of is how you never noticed before how beautiful she really is. |

Mayahuel Bailey is the daughter of two Templars-James Bailey (deceased) and Perlita Garcia. Mayahuel’s mother was identified in the normal course of business as being descended from a Huastecan deity by the name of Tlazolteotl, a fierce goddess who had many talents. Tlazolteotl was also known as the Filth-Eater--something of little interest to anyone until the London incident. The factions had been grudgingly working together for several years on clandestine projects to train identified progeny of the old gods for various ends. Before Maya was even born, ironclad agreements had been put into place as to her placement if she ever showed any promise related to her maternal bloodline. | Mayahuel Bailey is the daughter of two Templars-James Bailey (deceased) and Perlita Garcia.

They saw each other rarely until Maya moved at fifteen to the southwestern U.S. to live with her maternal grandmother. Once Maya came of age she returned to London against her mother's wishes with the expectation that she would begin her training with the Templars just as her parents had done before her. While back in London, she fell in love with a promising young Templar agent named Jeremiah Clarke. The couple was blissfully happy together and planned to be married. Plans changed when Jeremy became gravely ill shortly after his return from an archaeological expedition to Egypt. |

She | + | He was immediately whisked away to a secret location underneath the city but Maya was determined to find him. She managed to bypass security measures and broke into the hidden infirmary, completely disregarding the quarantine. When the Securi-Med teams finally got back into the room with the likely intention of dispatching both Mayahuel and her young guard, they were shocked to see the both of them curled together sleeping as if nothing had happened. Neither Maya nor Jeremy had any memory of the night, but footage from security cameras showed Maya had locked herself in with him, crawling into his bed and whispering to him for hours in a language the Templars had never heard. |
Whatever it was--the power of love, the will of a little demigoddess, or a scientific anomaly--Jeremy was cured. Clean. In spite of attempts to keep the incident secret, the Dragon immediately notified Richard Sonnac it was time to honor the bargain made years prior. Maya was summarily brought into one of the Templar offices, sedated and handed over to agents from Seoul. The "training" she endured there was part of what the factions named The Ablution Project. Regardless of any models or protocols tried, Maya was never able to replicate what had occurred with Jeremy in London. This did not keep her handlers from pushing her to breaking points again and again. It was a brutal experience, one that left her with no memory or connection with anyone when she was finally allowed to leave. There was much struggle and heartache before she finally found her way to the person she is now. In the end, love was what saved her and love is the only thing that she still believes in with her whole heart. | Whatever it was--the power of love, the will of a little demigoddess, or a scientific anomaly--Jeremy was cured.

Project Ablution was deemed a failure aside from a minor success at an obscure site several hours from Mexico City. None of the factions thought the outcome worth the trouble to try repeating. Mayahuel officially separated from the Dragon with an uneasy but respectful understanding that she can still come and go as she pleases when in Seoul. | Project Ablution was deemed a failure aside from a minor success at an obscure site several hours from Mexico City.
