Origin: Borderlands 2

As soon as Fenix first played Borderlands 2 they were immediately drawn to Maya.  Over the years they've cosplayed numerous versions of the Pandoran Siren, and even got inked with a real-life version of the character's signature tattoo!

Maya:

Fenix originally created and wore Maya for PAX East 2013. This costume featured a fully detailed class mod, extensive tattoos, a shield, two guns, a custom leather Vladof holster and numerous other little touches.  

Maya Build 2013 - Full details on how the different pieces of this costume were made.
 
Maya (Vladof Pool Party):

For our first annual Borderlands pool party first Fenix wanted to do a pink pandoracorn skin version of Maya. They made a full suit out of neoprene, but didn't love the end result. They had also designed & gotten a Vladof bikini custom printed, so they decided to change tactics and did a Vladof skin Maya for the pool party. For the siren tattoos they made up tattoo patterns for the parts that are normally covered by clothes and then printed the entire thing out on temporary tattoo paper.

Maya (Captain Marvel):

Fenix was never entirely happy with how their first take on Maya turned out, but they always loved the character, so in 2016 they got Maya's tattoo on her arm and chest for real, and made a new Captain Marvel-inspired skin of their own design, complete with flerkin class mod!

Maya (Rapunzel):

Fenix loves to design mash-ups and new versions of favorite characters, so they came up with another Maya skin - this time drawing inspiration from Rapunzel in Disney's Tangled.  They designed a Pascal-inspired gun that Josh built and they painted, as well as hand painting tiny flowers all over the body suit. Also, naturally, this time the class mod was a frying pan.

Maya (Elven Eliminator/Last Call):

Having more or less mastered the Maya bodysuit (even making the Hyperion Hornet on commission), but still wanting to be Maya (I mean, the tattoo is half the work), Fenix decided on the Last Call skin since it uses a corset instead of a bodysuit.  Then, because they love being an elf, they picked the Elven Eliminator head (from the Dragon's Keep DLC) to go with it.
