| − | Maya is usually a bubbly, excitable girl, prone to babbling in Spanish as she forgets to translate herself - because of this, she's started mostly talking in short, direct sentences with a heavy accent. She's friendly and happy, with a maternal love of helping and comforting others. She also has a mischievous streak, enjoying startling people by appearing behind them out of nowhere or poking them invisibly! She can be kind of a brat sometimes, but paradoxically, she's very apologetic when she scares people. She's apologetic in general, and hates making others feel bad.

| | | | |
| − | The traumatic year she recently had still affects her, and especially out of her costume she can be shy and quiet, even withdrawn, at times, especially when she's in a group conversation in English that she can only partially follow. She's quickly flustered by attention, and also scares or startles easily. She has little love of school, with a negative opinion of her own scholastic performance.

| | | | |
| − | Although not technically a pacifist, Maya isn't a violent person, and she hates fighting, or even the idea of training herself to fight beyond some simple self-defense techniques. Even when friends or innocents are in danger, she prefers to aid in their escape rather than leap to their defense. If forced to fight, she is generally timid and desperate, resorting to schoolyard techniques like shoving, tackling, or barrages of wild punches and slaps.

| − | ===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 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. Similarly, she ''also'' lacks the control to teleport ''herself'' out of someone's grip without taking them with her.
| + | ===Amplified Senses=== |
| | | | |
| − | Teleporting takes a lot of energy, and can tire Maya out quickly if she overuses it.
| + | ===Accelerated Healing=== |
| | | | |
| − | ===Invisibility=== | + | ===Increased Endurance=== |
| − | 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, sources of gravity, etc. Her powers aren't magical in nature, so magical detection has no effect. She is rather easily seen 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.
| + | ===Sturdy Durability=== |
| − | | + | |
| − | 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 split-second failures in the dimensional shift that ruin the invisibility. Moving also hurts the cloak, causing visible ripples and distortion in the air.

| − | 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 that she owns one! She's weaker than an average person, not very tough, only mildly athletic in that she can do some jumping jacks 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, scarves, or sweaters for a few 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. She can dance pretty well, too!

| |
| − | Sombra has met several friends from sneaking into Club Caprice, as well as her adventures outside. The most notable are probably the patriotic heroine Valor Star; [[Red Spider]], who took on something of a mentor role and is attempting to train the teen to fight and get out of tight spots; Anomaly, a hero with a symbiotic suit; and [[Winter (Angela Mackie)|Winter]], her fellow teen heroine, new best friend, and sometimes-partner!
