History
Personality
Powers
Teleportation
Maya has the ability to teleport, both to anywhere within visual range and to anywhere she has been and knows how to get back to - meaning that she can't (or shouldn't) teleport very far if she has no idea where she currently is. Fortunately, her powers have some kind of built-in safety or sense that prevents her from materializing inside a wall or object; when this would happen, Maya finds that she either can't rematerialize until she moves, or is automatically shifted slightly to the nearest open space. Maya's teleportation isn't quite instantaneous, but is very fast; her body (unknown to her) shifts into another dimension as a "shortcut" between points.
Maya can also take objects and people with her when she teleports. Currently, she only has the control and power to take one other average-sized person (or comparably-sized object) with her, and she lacks the control to, say, teleport a weapon out of someone's hand without taking the person along, too.
Teleporting takes a lot of energy, and can tire Maya out quickly if she overuses it.
Invisibility
Maya's invisibility is remarkably effective. Although she doesn't know how it works, by shifting her body partially into the same dimension she uses to teleport, she can become undetectable to most usual means. When she is invisible, Maya cannot be seen visually (obviously), produces no scent or heat, and her body makes no sounds, including footsteps. Since she isn't entirely in the material world, she can throw off, but not completely fool, senses that rely on physical presence, such as echolocation, detecting air currents or pressure changes, gravity sources, etc. Her powers aren't magical in nature, so magical detection has no effect. She is detectable by those able to see dimensional energy or rifts, however.
Maya's voice and breathing are still audible when she's invisible, and she can still touch others, by intention or accident, such as bumping into people. It's possible this is only because she thinks this should happen.
Although she cannot do it all day, compared to teleportation, staying invisible doesn't take too much effort for her anymore, and she can spend upwards of an hour undetected. Like teleportation, she can also make another person invisible with her, as long as they remain in physical contact, but this greatly increases the energy needed. She's also still not very good at cloaking a second person, often suffering from a "flickering" effect caused by second or split-second-long failures in the dimensional shift that ruin the invisibility.
Skills
Maya has few skills that are helpful in her superhero life. She has no talent or skill in combat, though friends have at least taught her how to throw a proper punch, she doesn't have any particular observation or investigative skills, and she's not overly intelligent. She's never held a gun, let alone fired one. She can barely fire a slingshot, not she actually owns one! She's weaker than an average person, not very tough, only mildly athletic in that she can do a couple cartwheels or 'sort of' climb a knotted rope, and has zero mental defenses. What she does have is a lot of heart and determination!
Maya is a good cook, though, and very good at sewing - she proudly tells others that she makes her own costumes (minus the masks), and has crafted dresses for a couple friends. She enjoys the work, and is seriously considering a career as a seamstress or tailor! She also plays the recorder somewhat well, hoping to move on to a flute or ocarina someday. And yes, she has the rhythm to competently shake maracas, though doesn't have a particular liking for them.
