Page "Daphne in the Brilliant Blue" Paragraph 9

:: Maia is the protagonist of the series.

She has lost all of her childhood memories, because as a child, Maia was put into a one year coma because of a car wreck.

The cause of it was because while in the car with her parents, the controls malfunctioned.

Her parents died.

Waking up, she was introduced to a man claiming to be her grandfather.

In episode 11, Maia tells the girls of Nereids her story of waking up from her coma.

During the flashback, Maia asks her grandpa why whenever he smiles at her, he seems sad.

At the end of the episode, she is looking at a picture of her grandfather then she asks, " What is it that you were keeping hidden from me, Grandpa.

" Although Maia is an excellent student she is rejected by the Ocean Agency, an elite paramilitary organization that is part of the futuristic world government.

So instead Maia, broke and homeless, joins Nereids, an unorthodox help-for-hire organization inspired by the Greek mythological Nereids.

She is optimistic, hard working, and honest, yet a naive and shy cute girl-next-door.

Maia is in search of her past and continues to do so while working with Nereids.
