Personality:
One of a group of vault hunters in the game, Maya is more then often the straight/serious man to the others more extreme or strange personalities. This doesn't mean she doesn't get excited or take enjoyment from things. She really enjoys using her powers when fighting. But she's more serious then most of the others. She can come off as dry and straight forward, as well as calmer and a bit sarcastic. A lot of her voice lines are generally polite at times too. Unless she gets excited or manages to get an impressive kill in, then she can get more animated. So she varies from excited murder to polite or almost clinical interest, when fighting. And despite her powers she is probably the most stable of the group. Considering the vault hunters in Borderlands 2, that might not say much.
Maya values knowledge a great deal. When asked what she's going to spend her prize money on in a dlc, she answers 'lots and lots of books' ...and also guns. She likes books, to the point where her class mods in the game take the form of books she wears on her side. In fact knowledge is the reason she's even on Pandora in the first place. She's there to find out information on sirens, because that's what she is. She knows almost nothing about them, just that they're linked to Pandora and possibly vaults. So she shows up to find out whatever she can. This ends up going as well as you would expect with Handsome Jack wanting to control/kill all sirens. Because of that, it's why she has one of the highest bounties of the party despite everyone else having worse/actual crimes. Hers is just listed as 'siren'.
Maya does not like being used by anyone. She was raised by a monastic order that said it was training her to protect people and to fight evil. And they turned out to be scaring the locals into paying them, and using her and her powers as the threat. She killed the brother in charge when she realized what was going on, they tried to get her to kill someone who clearly didn't deserve it and was terrified of her, and left. Leaving for Pandora was something she'd wanted to do for a while but was also something she'd been prevented from doing due to her loyalty to them up till that point. On the subject of betrayal, Maya is also, really not a fan, having been on Pandora for two days and deciding it's already better then the abbey because at least the bad people stab you in the front here.
She also believes that revenge is a good thing, once quoting "Someone once said, he who sets out on revenge should first dig two graves. That's a stupid-ass quote, revenge is awesome". She can also be rather sadistic when it comes to that, as when she finds the assassin sent to kill her in a dlc is dead from poison she says they're lucky because she wouldn't have made the death quick. Despite that though, it's made clear that she didn't kill everyone in the brotherhood that raised her. She just killed the ones in charge. So generally she's a goo-....let's say, not totally evil person. She just happened to travel to Pandora. World of everything/one is trying to kill you, with the added bonus of Handsome Jack's reign of terror..
Maya's powers are incredibly important to her. Which is why she's going to react oh so well to them being stripped away. They're what defined her entire life, from her birth to her present. After all it's the reason she got sent to live with the brotherhood. That doesn't mean she likes everything about them. For one thing she hates being seen as a goddess due to them. And she also hates people trying to experiment on her because of them. But she still loves her powers, she can use them to heal or to hurt people and she does both. They're awesome. They're also, as stated above a large unknown and the big mystery in her life she wants to solve. Unfortunately Pandora had more questions then answers, even if she met two other sirens, and found an element that apparently boosts their powers. (It is unknown at this time if it would affect Maya as she has never canonically used it.). So still looking for answers.

Victory Road Sample:
[The gear flickers on and there's a pissed off woman with blue hair glaring at the screen. She gets straight to the point.]
I'm looking for any vault hunters. If you don't know what that is, directions to a place that sells guns would be the next best thing. Whatever these creatures are here, they don't seem hostile yet, but I'm not taking my chances.
[There's a small cat like creature to her side. An Espurr that seems to be jumping up and down.]
Oh, and I'm not sure what this thing is. But I'm starting to think it ate some Eridium at some point so I'm keeping it with me just in case.
[She glances over at the Espurr and shakes her head before looking back at the camera. Her tone seems to grow darker.]
Oh and the off chance there's someone out there who knows what exactly happened to my powers and might have even been responsible? Keep this in mind. I don't need them to kill you.
[And the feed cuts off.]
