PERSONALITY;; Maya is hardworking, ambitious, and fiercely independent and she will let no one stand in the way of her achieving her goals of helping others. Maya is a humanitarian-in-the-making and believes that there is good in everyone. However, she is also fully aware that there is also darkness in everyone as well and she isn't one to be fooled easily. She does believe that the darkness in people’s hearts can be overcome and she is willing to help anyone and everyone in their endeavors to do so. Whether other people want her help is another matter entirely, and in more “difficult” cases Maya has no qualms with manipulating people into doing good. However, should even her crafty, emotional manipulations fail, Maya would have no problems with putting a stop to somebody by any means found to be necessary. Though she sometimes plays fast and loose with other people’s ability to choose for themselves, Maya really wants the best for everyone (or at least, what she thinks is best). She is also extremely loyal to a fault and if you manage to gain her trust, she will follow you anywhere even into the dark (if only so that she can drag you out herself later on).

FAMILY;; Porter Nightingale - Father; Lillian Nightingale - Mother (imprisoned in Azkaban for being a Death Eater)
MARITAL STATUS;; Single
HISTORY;; 
    Born in late winter to Lillian and Porter Nightingale, baby Maya was never held by her mother who had, during her labor, been magically bound to her hospital bed in St. Mungo’s and, as soon as she had been declared healthy enough after the delivery, had been shipped off to Azkaban as a Death Eater convicted after the War. Instead, her father was the first after the Healers to hold the crying newborn and Porter swore then and there as he looked into his daughter’s eyes that he would never let her end up full of hate and prejudice like his wife.

    Though she was raised without a mother, Maya was showered in love and affection from her father and her extended family. Despite being a pureblood, she was raised to scorn the ideals of the system that had ruined her mother and to always fight against evil in any form. At playdates and other societal events, young Maya would always scold any bullying child even if they were her friend. If her stern words didn’t work, then usually her fist did as she showed the bully why getting punched sucks. She learned early on that if she cared about someone then she should care enough about them to call them on their behavior and stop them for going down dark paths.

    When she arrived at Hogwarts, Maya found herself unintentionally sticking out from the crowd during her Sorting as she was a hatstall between Slytherin and Hufflepuff . The hat took ten minutes to decide before wearily sighing “Slytherin” and sending her off to Salazar’s house.

    Maya made friends easily at Hogwarts and her classmates quickly learned to never discuss blood purity or any other prejudice with her or to be prepared to suffer the consequences. Maya excelled at Potions and, the stubborn, hard worker that she is, she did well in other subjects as well (except for Astronomy because really, all the stars look the same. How is she supposed to know the difference between Castor and Pollux? Honestly). However, as much as Maya loves Hogwarts, she can’t wait to graduate and begin working on changing the world. With the state that the Ministry is in now, she knows she has a lot of work ahead of her but she has no doubts that she is going to succeed. After all, she has Good on her side and good always wins, right?
Right.

WHEN IT ALL BOILS DOWN,
AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S WHAT YOU DO.
