Maya (ToT)

Maya (マイ) is one of the available bachelorettes in Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility.

Maya is the food loving waitress who lives at the Sundae Inn. She is the only daughter of Jake and Colleen, and the granddaughter of Yolanda.

She is very happy and carefree, and is quite fond of food, even though she is a terrible cook. Maya is interested in Chase, and he will be your rival for Maya's affection if you want to marry her. Also, unless you have a cast iron stomach, avoid eating anything she attempts to cook!

Heart Events
2-Heart Event Exit your house for the morning on a sunny day to find Maya outside your door. She will present you with a good Spicy Pepper, which you may accept or reject.

If rejected, you will lose heart points with her.

4-Heart Event Talk to Maya when she has 4 hearts before 11am on a sunny day. She will ask you to meet her at the beach for a date at 12pm. Make sure to meet her down the stairs by On the Hook between 12pm and 12:50pm in order to see the event.

If you don't show up on time, the event cannot be triggered. Maya will be upset next time you speak to her and remind you that you didn't show up. You will also lose some affection.

5-Heart Event Exit your house for the morning on a sunny day to find Maya outside your door. She will present you with a Chocolate Pudding, which you may accept or reject.

If rejected, you will lose heart points with her.

Request Event Enter the Inn when Maya has 5 hearts to hear her request. Maya would like you to catch an eel and bring it back for her.

Eels can only be fished for in every summer except for Spring. They can be caught in the river or in the lake, as well as at the Goddess Pond. Talk to Maya with the Eel in your hands to complete her request.

6-Heart Event Talk to Maya before 11am on a sunny day and she'll ask you to meet her later at Alan's tree between 12pm and 1pm. Upon meeting with her, she will take you somewhere more private and confess her love, you may accept or deny it.

Not showing up to meet Maya or giving her a negative response will result in losing heart points.

Proposal After Maya reaches 8 hearts, you can propose to her. If you have gotten the blue bird event and received the Blue Feather, showing it to her will result in a proposal event, granted that you have met all of the other marriage requirements.

Present the feather to Maya, who will ask if you really want to marry her. After professing your love, she will accept your proposal. You'll then both be at Town Hall in front of Hamilton, who'll congratulate you both on the news. You will be asked when to schedule the wedding and Hamilton will set a date.

Marriage

Maya will now call you "Darling" and give a Box Lunch to you every morning. The quality of the lunch box depends on your affection level.

Child
The child you have when marrying Maya will have a friendly and laidback personality. Regardless of gender, they will have brown, dreamy eyes, a soft smile, and brown hair. The boy's hair will be medium brown and looks a little unkempt, like bedhead. The girl's hair will be light brown, shoulder-length, and curled at the ends.

Julius, Toby and Renee will have similar children.

Rival Events
( NOTE:  In order to trigger rival events, befriend the person of your character's sex to two hearts for the first event, and then later three hearts for the final event! These events will occur in the same location at approximately the same time with the same needed conditions to trigger them.)

These rivals have two events that can be triggered which will ultimately lead to them getting married and having a child together. The rival for Maya's affection is Chase.

2-Heart Event After befriending Maya to 2 hearts (if you're a girl) or Chase to 2 hearts (if you're a boy) and entering the Sundae Inn on a sunny/cloudy day (except for Sunday) between 3and 11:50pm, the following scene will take place:

Chase: Turns to see Maya in the kitchen doorway. "Oh, it's you, Maya. Sorry, Yolanda isn't here right now."

Maya: Sways arms. "No, I came to see you today!" Smiles.

Chase: Shrugs. "Okay, I'll give you one of my leftover dishes." Hands her a dish of his cooking.

Maya: Takes the dish and immediately eats it. ♥ "Wow, you added a subtle touch of red herbs! It's really good!"

Chase: Shrugs again. "You do have a refined palate, I'll give you that."

Maya: ! "Oops! I forgot! That's not why I came here! I wanted you to taste something I made..." Pulls out a pastry dish.

Chase: Shakes his head. "Uh... I've had...experience...in the past with your cooking, you know..."

Maya: Sweats nervously. "I know! But I was really, really careful this time, so I think it'll be fine!"

Chase: "Really? Did you triple-check the ingredients? You sure it's good?"

Maya: Looks depressed and shakes her head. "I put my heart and soul into it... just one bite, please!"

Chase: Takes the dish and eats it slowly. ☠  "Ugh...!" Clutches his stomach.

Maya: Sweats nervously again. "H-how was it?"

Chase: Shakes his head. "Words can barely describe it, but I'll try... It has the texture of sandpaper, it's way too sweet, and it's so thick that I don't think I can even swallow it!"

<p style="line-height: 15.75pt">Maya: Buries her face in her hands and cries. "Waaaahhhh! Why would you say that?!"

<p style="line-height: 15.75pt">Chase: ''I'm sorry, I'm just going to spit it out in the sink. Is that okay?"''

<p style="line-height: 15.75pt">Maya: Glares and stomps her foot angrily. "Spit it out?! What?! Why are you even ASKING me? Chase, you're so MEAN!" Runs out of the kitchen.

3-Heart Event  After befriending Maya to 3 hearts (if you're playing a girl), or Chase (if you're playing a boy) and entering the Sundae Inn on a sunny/cloudy day (except for Sunday) between 3and 11:50pm, the following scene will take place:

Maya: ...H-Here, Chase. Please take this!

Chase: A blue feather... What?! Are you popping the question?!

*Maya nods*

Chase: Whoa! But, why...?

Maya: Because... I mean... I'm... in... in love... with you, Chase...

Chase: That's a lie. You don't love me, you love my cooking, right?

Maya: Huh?

Chase: How can you fall in love with someone's cooking?

Maya: S-So what? What's wrong with falling in love with your cooking?! Chase, you're mean, cruel, cold, and I hate you!

Chase: How am I to blame...?

Maya: But... But... you cooking is the best! I wanna eat your cooking every day...! I worked so hard to find that blue feather... Chase, you idiot!

Chase: I didn't say I wouldn't accept it, you airhead...
