Maya's appearance in [[Shadesmar]] is that of a woman with scratched-out eyes, akin to a painting with the features scratched out rather than simply empty sockets.{{book ref|sa3|87}}{{book ref|sa3|89}} Her features seem to be made of ashen brown cords the thickness of hair,{{book ref|sa3|87}} giving her skin the appearance of rough cloth{{book ref|sa3|89}}, string{{book ref|sa3|101}} or brown vines.{{book ref|sa3|117}} She has crystalline hands with long nails.{{book ref|sa3|117}}{{book ref|sa3|102}}
In the [[Physical Realm]], Maya appears as a Shardblade. The blade itself is shaped like a larger version of a standard longsword, and bears some resemblance to the enormous two-handed broadswords traditionally wielded by the [[Horneater]]s. The cutting edge is smooth and sinuous, like an eel, while the back has ridges of crystal.{{book ref|sa2|14}}

=== The Recreance ===
Mayalaran was killed by her bonded Edgedancer when they abandoned their oaths, believing that the [[Nahel bond]] would bring about the destruction of [[Roshar]] the way it had for humanity's homeworld, [[Ashyn]].{{book ref|sa3|113}} During Adolin's trial, she reveals that she, along with all the other deadeyes, had chosen to sacrifice themselves through the Recreance: they were willing partners to the end of the Knights Radiant.{{book ref|sa4|94}}
At some point before the [[War of Reckoning]], [[Adolin]] dueled a [[lighteyes]] named [[Tinalar]]. Against everyone's expectations, he won the duel and secured Maya as his own. At the time, her name was unknown to anyone living. Believing it to be pretentious to give her one that wasn't hers, Adolin left her unnamed.{{book ref|sa2|14}}
