Cure Papillon: Maya Sanagi was an unlucky girl. At an early age she was attacked by a stray cat and as a result developed a deep seated fear of them. Years later during the Darkest Day incident she was trapped in a collapsing building and almost lost her life.

The Precure managed to get her out but the experience scarred her. Maya retreated into her shell ever since then and her parents became more and more overprotective as well, even considering pulling her out of school as Maya was actively avoiding people as much as possible.

It was Ayumi that first approached her as she reminded her of the girl she once used to be. Through repeated interactions with Ayumi and the others Maya gradually began to open up again.

As it turns out Maya is a bit of a science geek and has an insatiable appetite for sweets (as the proprietors of the KiraPati would later find out).

She wound up having to face both fears when a cat she and Ayumi were taking care of got turned into a Dark Matter monster (specifically a Kowaina from Yes 5) and attacked an at the time still powerless Ayumi. Maya awakened as a Precure and fought to defend her friend (later getting over her fear of cats entirely after meeting Hummy from the Suite team).

Later on in the series Maya would meet up with the former Cure Egret while attempting to train herself in the forest. Mai introduced her to some old friends of hers, a pair of twins named Michiru and Kaoru Kiryuu who were also once unsure of their place in the world.

Through learning from and interacting with them Maya grew more confident and finally blossomed during a battle with a fused when she received her own Miracle Form as well as the Splash Star Miracle Petal.

During the end of the series where Black Hole’s influence now covered the world and the Prism Flower was in danger of being snuffed out it was Maya that rallied the people and convinced them the Precure aren’t the only heroes on this planet and anyone can be strong as long as they fight for what they truly believe in.

During the timeskip Maya is now an assistant at Sakura’s veterinary clinic where she uses her knowledge of science and nature to diagnose and treat various animals.
