- Core Advantage
- Traveler Between Worlds: Maia intuitively knows bizarre paths and strange rituals that allows her to slip through space and time into faraway lands or other planes of existence. If she knows about a realm - whether it's a slice of hell, a fae realm, another habitable planet, or any other place - she can Probably* go there. She can choose whether or not to bring other people with her, and those people must also consent to following her.
A well-planned hop, skip, and jump to another world usually takes some planning and/or intent. If she has to rush things, she may not be able to go exactly where or when she wants to go, potentially leading to her being temporarily lost for a day or so. She also can't take very much with her either, if she's rushed. However, this can still be useful if she needs to get out of dodge in a hurry.
Because time sometimes flows differently in different realms, she might end up moving forwards or backwards in time with subsequent visits to the same place. This can be disorienting for her, and for other people she deals with. She might even meet someone for her first time on a different occasion than that person meets her for their first time. Fortunately, this never really alters the timeline - or at least not in ways that she's ever noticed.
Finally, by traveling between worlds, Maia can trade for wondrous gadgets, items, and artifacts. Most of what she can get easily, though, is drugs, cheap commodities, or otherwise low-hanging fruit that can't do anything *too* extraordinary by earth standards. Getting anything really special will probably require a lot of effort on her part, and/or help from a friend or two.
- Nerfs and Flavor
- Maia can very easily fail to notice a lie if she's distracted. If her life were, hypothetically, some sort of cosmic puppet show played by forces beyond her comprehension, her capacity to be distracted would be very convenient for those forces if they forgot about this lie-detecting capability. Or if they just didn't want her to notice a lie.
- Maia *technically* has the true name bound disadvantage. However, because her entire true name must be uttered to take advantage of this, it has limited use against her.
- Maia does not alter the timeline by traveling backwards and forwards in time. Don't think too hard about it. Maybe loops are involved, like in rollercoasters! those are fun.
- Most afterlife type realms are dangerous for her to visit, because, in her words, "that's for dead people."
- Even with her cosmetic shifting, Maia can't grow taller than 5'4" - but she can get as short as 3 feet tall if she really wants

- Housing

- Wealth
- Doesn't have a lot of personal wealth, but she does have access to her own motorcycle, and enough cash to make bad decisions with. most of the rest belongs to the cult.
History
- Date of Birth
- she celebrates it on February 1
- Place of Birth
- Under the Hill somewhere
Early in her life, she offended an influential elf nobleman, resulting in multiple attempts on her life. This was, by all accounts, extremely funny, and it continues to be funny and cool to this day, especially when they try killing her again. Maia refers to the continued assassination attempts as a form of "Fiveplay" (that's more than 4-play).
A few years into being on the lam, she found the goblin mystery cult to She Who Wriggles, Giggles, and Squirms. Joining this cult was a lot of fun for her. It became even more fun when she became the chosen one of their goddess, but you aren't really allowed to know what that means, and if you ask she won't tell you. It is a sort of leadership position, though. That's who she's been living with for the last however-many-decades.
Life has been a wonderful adventure for her so far, and she'd love to implicate some of the pptown locals in that adventure, if she can!
