maya doesn’t do well in the cold . athenas has a warmer climate , and she has a hard time dealing with the colder parts of pandora . she’ll never say a word about it , though .
she has a hard time socializing . she had limited exposure to anyone her age , and interaction with the monks was strict and structured . 27 years of relative isolation made it hard to connect with people . she improves over the time spent with the other vault hunters , but it’s slow . by time she's found again on athenas , she’s still awkward and can have a hard time with talking to strangers , but she lets a lot more of her personality out .
she also struggles with trust . maya doesn’t trust anyone more than her generation of vault hunters and the previous . she was manipulated her whole life and refuses to let anyone take advantage of her in any form ever again . though slow to trust , once she does trust someone there is little she wouldn’t do for them .
it seems implied that she was experimented on by sophis — she grew uncomfortable with being touched without permission , even small touches like a hand on her arm . by the time they finally take down jack , she’s much more open to contact from the other vault hunters .
returning to athenas doubled as a way for her to try and heal and reconcile with what she experienced . she also didn’t want to further abandon the people that did nothing to her but still wanted her protection and leadership .
she uses her time on pandora to experience things she’d been deprived of on athenas .
she doesn’t sleep much . she has a hard time getting comfortable and sitting still . she just ... can function well enough on a couple hours of sleep . there are times where she goes a couple days in a row without sleeping , though .
maya has no clue how to drive . none . however , she absolutely is the first to volunteer to drive and will rush to claim the driver’s seat . she loves driving . also scares herself with her driving .

PHASEHAWKS .
‘ heya, sapphire. ‘ lips curl into a sly smile as she eyes Maya walking out of her quarters and into the bridge. it’d been what? seven years since they last spoke? After all of her help in stopping the notorious Handsome Jack, how could she not put on a happy face when seeing her? ‘ you slept pretty long, huh? i didn’t think the beds on Athenas were that uncomfortable. ‘ — @phaselocks
' WHAT CAN I SAY ? IT’S no floating city but it still feels like sanctuary . ’ she snorts in a laugh , hands moving to her hips . she doesn’t mention that the time in her room was only spent reading , or meditating instead of sleeping . seven years away yet it seems like just yesterday everyone was still there , around . home . shoulders drop and head tips to the side ; she opts to ignore how vacant the halls are compared to what it used to be . ‘ honestly ? it’s kinda ... weird to be back . but i’d guess you’re pretty happy with the new place . ’
