Maya

Maya is the player character and main protagonist of At Dead Of Night.

Appearance
Maya is a British older teenage girl with long blonde hair pulled into a high messy ponytail. She wears a dark blue long-sleeved shirt, and in the prologue she can be seen wearing a camping backpack en route the music festival she was going to attend. Maya could be 17 years old.

Biography
Maya was going to a music festival with her friends and planned on camping out, but the weather took a rainy turn, prompting her friends to stay at a nearby hotel. Maya arrives late, after her friends had already checked into their rooms, but finds that they had already set her room up and paid for it.

Maya was visibly disturbed by the hotel owner Jimmy Hall, as she was given her room keys.

Maya can use a scrying mirror to see premonitions and flashbacks to previous guests' fates. Players can use these premonitions to deduce the next steps to learn each character's complete story. In the tutorial, this is described as Maya's special supernatural power, which could be what Hugo/Jimmy is referring to at the end when he said "it burns inside you too, Maya".

Her guest room is Room 101, wherein the bed sheets are pulled back and her backpack is laying on the floor.

Trivia

 * The geography revealed in the prologue hints that the Sea View Hotel is likely in Rose's hometown of Scarborough, North Yorkshire. Thus, the music festival Maya and her friends were attending may have been the annual Saxtonbury Music Festival, which occurs every summer and features camping spots.
