Maya Matlin

Unafraid to speak her mind and not interested in gaining popularity or what people think of her, she often finds herself in trouble.

She is empathetic towards her friends, and is always there for them for advice.

However, after some time, she finally broke down about Campbell's death and him leaving her and was back to her old self. She is best friends with Tristan Milligan and Tori Santamaria.
