Maia Ashmore

Maia
Gender Female
Age 11
Occupation Student at Tyoma Park Elementary
Middin helpers Fyren, Lillemor, Ziggy, Myrrh, Zephyr

Maia is an ambitious young girl with a big heart – although at the beginning of her journey she is a little unsure of herself and can’t quite get a handle on her middin, Ziggy, Fyren and Lillemor, who are always pulling her in different directions.

Life

Maia lives in the suburban town of Tyoma Park with her mother, Cass, and father, Finnian, who are both theater actors. Although they are loving parents, they can be self-absorbed in the dramatic play that is their lives. And their flamboyant middin are even worse – especially if you have to live with them, as Maia does.

Maia goes to Tyoma Park Elementary school where she has just started 6th grade. She strives to do well in her classes to keep her teachers happy. She enjoys science, but most of the other subjects are kind of a drag to her.

In her free time, Maia likes to make models, gadgets, toys, and sculptures out of junk, with the help of Myrrh. They frequent the local dump to find materials for her creations. Her most recent project is trying to build a rocket that can reach the sun.

Lillemor helps Maia to “be good”. “Being good” actually entails a lot of small jobs throughout the day, so you can see why Lillemor is always working diligently. Chores… Keeping teachers happy… Keeping parents happy… Making sure Fyren isn’t being a bad influence… Making sure Ziggy doesn’t do anything weird in front of other people… Homework… Hygiene… Planning for Maia’s career… Planning breakfast……………..

Personality

Manifest species Fox
Rhopos Iolite crystal

If you mess with Maia, you will have to answer to Fyren. She often uses playful sass and sarcasm to soften her blows, but occasionally she will say what she really thinks – much to Lillemor’s dismay. She encourages Maia to seek out fun and adventure, and to embrace spontaneity, especially when it means getting away from the demands of grown-ups.

Personality

Foxes are known to be clever, cunning, and sly. Fyren will do whatever it takes to help Maia get her needs met, whether it be creative problem solving, smooth talking, or just a good old-fashioned lie.

Name meaning

“Fyren” is an old English word meaning “fiery” or “of fire”, referring to Fyren’s burning passion and wit, as well as a fox’s red coat.
