Maya is a WRAITH SPIRIT.
Maya was born a Rajput princess in the northern part of what we now call India in 1552, and was the third wife of Mughal emperor Akbar the Great. Renowned for both her beauty and intelligence, she proved exceptionally adept at the use of “soft power” in influencing politics. During her time as Akbar’s wife, she failed to produce any children, and there was a prevailing rumor that she took precautions against pregnancy because she enjoyed her power within the court so much. She consistently butted heads with her husband’s regent-turned-advisor, and it is unclear if the tumble down a long flight of stairs that broke her neck in 1582 was an accident. At any rate, she now prefers to remain on the ground floor.
