Mayu Uchida

Maya Neko (猫摩耶, Neko Maya)  is a chūnin-level  kunoichi of  Ō kamigakure's Neko clan, a member of Team Airin (Team 121) and a apprentice priestess.

Background
 Maya is the second child and the only daughter of Lenalee, a member of the Neko clan and a unknown shinobi, who possess the advanced nature kekkei genkai- Dark Release.

 Until the age of five, Maya was raised mostly by a babysitter, Miya Toshiro, with whom the girl had a strong relation. When Miya died in a fire, Maya was deeply affected by this and mourned the loss of her babysitter at her grave. Eventually, she was raised by her grandmother, Fuchūina Neko.

 During her early years in the Academy, Maya was frequently bullied by her distant cousin Miki Neko, due to her strange traits. Meanwhile she received from her big brother a ninken, which she named Pāru and became her partner.

 Graduating Academy, she was chosen to be one of the members of team 121, under the supervision of Tomoko Higure. Before this moment, she met for the first time her cousins - Airin Uchimoto and Daisuke Hashimoto, with whom she bacame best friends.

 She gladly accepted the idea that the team should be named after her cousin's name.

Personality
As a child, Maya lacked self-confidence and was highly self-conscious about her strange appearance. Due to these features, she became also an antisocial and pessimistic individual; keeping herself to herself. Another effect of them is that she only spoke when she was asked.

During her Academy years, Maya was noted to be a vivacious and smart student. In this period, she showed a great interest in medical ninjutsu and started to rival with two of her classmates: Akemi and Yuzuki. Because of their rivalry, the kunoichi became selfish and decided to not help the others anymore when they needed help.

After she graduated and met her cousin, Airin Uchimoto, Maya became more self-confident and bold. Her intuition also increased, so she began to be able to sense the mood, feelings and emotions of others. As a result she began to care for them.

Towards her family, Maya is an open-minded person, she likes to make jokes; this strong relationship with them, helping her to pass more easily over the bullies and teases. In general, Maya has a dreamy romantic nature and always finds the poetic beauty in anyone or anything. She can drift off, quite easily, into her own fantasy world and she has a vivid imagination.

During Part I, the kunoichi was a little bit shy, when she had met for the first time the other teams. Maya also showed a deep care for her cousin, when Airin was almost on the edge to start a fight with Naruto Uzumaki. However, as is seen in Part II, Maya is more courageous when it comes to participate to war; in order to protect her home village she would do anything to fulfill her purpose.

Appearance
 Maya is a pale-skinned (almost gray) girl of average height with purple eyes. Her most noticeable trait in her appearance is her blue hair with a strand covering the right side of her face.

 In Part I, as a genin the kunoichi's hair was tied in a high-ponytail and reached down to her waist. She wore a long gray sleeveless dress underneath which she had a white skirt with black designs. On her dress she had the Neko crest and a animal print obi at her waist. Maya also wore a pair of grey boots, had a bandage on her right arm and three piercings (one below bottom lip, above chin and two in the left eyebrow).

 In Part II, Maya has shoulder lenght hair, a shade of blue lipstick and she still has her piercings. She wears a purple sleeveless dress with a yellow belt around her waist and a pair of knee high blue boots. On her dress, the kunoichi has the Neko clan crest with white and she also has the bandage on her right arm.
