Maia DiGregorio (Eden Rising)



Maia DiGregorio is a recurring character in Eden Rising. Maia is sweet and innocent but don't let her happy outside and beautiful looks fool you. She is very good at keeping all her emotions to herself and won't tell anyone how she's feeling unless they've been friends for months. Maia has a lot of secrets too, some which she will take to her grave.

Pre-series
Maia was born to an Italian father and an American mother in Venice, Italy where she grew up learning how to speak Italian from her father and English from her mother. She was an only child and was often spoilt by her parents. If she wanted this and that, she got this and that. It makes people wonder why Maia got a job as an Air Hostess. Maia loved the idea of exploring the world, and her exposure to other cultures led to her becoming a Buddhist.

Unfortunately for her, Maia was working on plane 012F from Shanghai, China to Calabria, Italy when the apocalypse broke out. Of course, they had heard distress calls on their planes radio but nothing could've prepared her for what she saw when they landed. And that's without even mentioning the trouble they had landing with all the planes strewn across the runway.

Like any humans would, the crew and passengers grouped together but Maia felt the apocalypse the worst. She had gourmet food on her lap with a click of her fingers and then she'd be eating from a rabbit carcas cooked over an open fire.

The two weeks following the landing were hopeless and horrid. The group traveled north through Italy, scavenging whatever supplies were left. That was until they heard a broadcast about a safeplace, near Normandy, France called Eden.

So, the group set off. But, just within the border of France, things began to set off. Maia's group fell apart with arguments and murder soon took over. Knowing she was no longer safe, Maia abandoned her group and headed for the nearest source of food, coming to a gas station. Seeing it filled with around twenty survivors armed with guns and war paint splashed on their faces, Maia knew what she had to do. As silent as gliding bird, Maia took out the survivors, one-by-one, bullet-by-bullet.

Maia had never been the mapreader in her group and soon abandoned hope of finding Eden, and set off into the post-apocalyptic world by herself. Eventually, she was taken in by a group living at Nico Francesci's farm in the UK.

Season 4
