Character: Amano Maya
Series:
Persona 2: Innocent Sin
Character Age: 23
Job: Friendly Neighbourhood Reporter
Canon: In Sumaru City rumours have suddenly started to become reality. The ramen shop owner used to be a spy and sells weapons? check. An unmanned monster taxi moves down people during the night? check. Hitler wants to conquer an ancient alien ship? check. And in the midst of this demons are appearing over the whole city and some people have discovered they have the ability to summon personas, personification of the psyche. And all the leads seems to point to the mysterious Masquerade, a cult that seems to have its origin in an event 10 years ago.
Trying to make sense of all this and to get the next big scoop is Ace Journalist Amano Maya, from the teen magazine Coolest. It also turns out she can summon Personas, and so she joins up with some teenagers she meets while doing research at the local High School. Maya is cheerful, talkative and super-optimistic, as reflected in her very engrish catchphrase; Let's positive thinking! Maya loves her work and has a tendency to let it take priority over everything else, like her (non-existent) love life or the state of her apartment. While she can be lazy, cheap and her driving is known to repeatedly endanger lives, the teenagers look up to her as a role model and older sister because of her constant encouragements and infinite resolve.
Sample Post:
Ciao, everyone! Please say hello to your new friendly neighbourhood reporter, ace editor Amano Maya! It might have been six months since camp got its newsletter and there's still not even one number released. But fear not-with Big Sis Maya here, it'll be done in a split second. If the camp computers continues to act up and inserting links that would make even the most hardened in camp frown, we'll just do it by hand!
It's important for you teenagers to be aware what happens in the world, and Camp is no exception to this. Who knows what exciting things you could be missing out on, things that might be happening next door? The opportunity to grasp your dreams might be right there and you're just sleeping it away or gambling your kupo nuts away in the mess hall. This won't do! We adults must take responsibility and make sure that you try to take your dreams in your own hands. And what better way to do that than to educate about the world you're in? Just trust me and let's positive thinking!
To start with, you should all know that Christmas is almost here, so there's a lot to prepare for. Make sure you have heaters ready in your cabins or some pretty girl or boy to curl up with, because the amount of snow is predicted to come in heaps, which must mean we'll get a really white Christmas. Not to forget about the event I know all you kids looks forward to the most: mistletoe! Christmas is the perfect time for dates, and what better way to break the ice than to let the mistletoe do the work for you. Fast, easy and sweet, just like it's supposed to be in modern times ♥
And let's not forget the best thing about Christmas, presents! Camp might not have the same selection as Shibuya, but we mustn't forget the stores that do exist. For one, I hear there is this really great shop where you can buy wishes. Sure, you should work hard to make your own dreams come true, but if they had gift cards it would be the perfect Christmas present. Or if you want to save money, there's always the classic of just giving away a pretty card, it works every time, I can tell you.
If I might suggest something myself, what about a lovely ride on a zeppelin? I could offer to drive it myself! Big Sis Maya's Airship Service doesn't sound so bad, right? Eh? Why are you making that face? I've only ever crashed one that one time! No one has ever died riding with me yet, trust me! Just think positively and I'm sure we'll be okay!
