Maya Santos is an [[GenkiGirl energetic preteen girl]] of Hispanic descent who [[SamaritanSyndrome can't resist helping people with their problems]] even when not asked to; this [[HilarityEnsues invariably causes trouble]] but her brother Miguel, despite [[LampshadeHanging pointing that out]], always ends up helping her anyway. Everything [[ForegoneConclusion ends well by the end]] however. The series seems set in the real world; the only unusual sight is how Maya's hair bobbles glow whenever she has an idea, but that seems to be visible only to the viewers.[[note]]Though there was an instance of Miguel's shoe glowing yellow in the first season's title sequence. Perhaps a scrapped WonderTwinPowers idea?[[/note]] Her {{catchphrase}} is "Eso es!" ("That's it!")[[note]]Though often sounds like excellent! [[/note]]

That line seemed a bit complain-y and/or conversation-y. Whatever it was, it was unnecessary.


* LyricSwap: A lyric in the theme song was rerecorded because it was apparently sexist.
** The lyric in question, "He leads with his head while she follows her heart" is not sexist in any way because it describes the characters, but one unfamiliar with the show just hearing the theme song could come to this conclusion, [[ExecutiveMeddling and this is probably exactly what happened]].
