| 14 | * ISeeDeadPeople: Maya can communicate with the dead. |

| 16 | * NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Michael Gacy was probably named after John Wayne Gacy, an infamous killer. |
| 17 | * PerkyGoth: Maya fits most of the goth stereotypes, but she stays smiling and friendly. |
| 18 | * SpiritAdvisor: Maya's dad, David, guides her from beyond the grave. |
