Anya Maize



Anya Maize is the Cyber Yellow Ranger, and a veteran of the cross-dimensional war against Kalask.

Character History
Anya was born in Reality 4510-231 in the year 2105. When Anya was a child, she witnessed her family be devoured by one of Kalask's monsters, Munch. She joined up with a group of freedom fighters, and as their war was lost, they sent her to the universe with the greatest chance of success against Kalask (being killed by Munch as they did). Arriving in Fort Myers in the same year (2116), she delivered her warning, and General Sauder and Commander Cruger  of S.P.D. began making preparations for Kalask's invasion.

Anya, Matt and   Wendy Venturas grew up together, thinking they would all be Rangers together. She liked the four recruit-understudies gathered eight years later well enough.

To her alarm, the calculations she was given turned out to be off by about a year: Kalask arrived the very day the four newcomers did. She,   Jeremy and Walter faced off against the Dreads invading Fort Myers, along with Thrak. The trio bested him, but only for the moment. When it turned out that Matt and Wendy had been severely injured in the attack, Anya accepted Cindy and   Jake as their temporary (or so everyone thought) replacements, and all five took up the Cyber Ops.

Yellow Veteran
Anya began training the new Rangers, though extended time with them made her consider them undisciplined. Her knowledge and experience were a great asset to the team, allowing her to identify Kalask's monsters and generals on sight. She failed to notice Walter mooning over her (which he had been doing from the beginning), and was surprised when General Sauder pointed it out. He also called her out for not training with her new teammates as an equal.

Anya's traumatic childhood returned to haunt her when Tem-Tar chose Munch to attack Horizon. She responded with endless training and attacks without even thinking. When Walter called her out for going in half-cocked, she explained. Following it up by brushing aside his claim that they were now a family, she headed off to finish her quest. Walter found her fighting the monster, intervening a little, and they were joined by the others. Nobody got in Anya's way as they finished the monster off, though both Anya and Walter were yelled at by Sauder for endangering the mission that way. Afterwards, Anya admitted her difficulty in asking for help and intention to improve.

When the Rangers met President Winters, and it was revealed that the Venturas twins were Venjix Hybrids, Anya rose immediately to their defense. She had known for a long time, and coming from a universe where Venjix never existed, had no preconceived notions about them. The situation calmed down, and Anya began helping with the preparations for the unmasking press conference.

In the aftermath of the inevitable monster battle, and the unmasking of the Venturas on public television, Anya pointed out that their actions in that fight didn't look particularly good. She had a few suspicions about the President, as well as General Sauder, but didn't voice them.

In the battle with the Fiddler, she finally declared her teammates to be her family. Soon after, Walter found her practicing Tai Chi Chuan, and asked her to teach him. His Jake-esque commentary and refusal to take the training seriously annoyed her, and he left, dejected. Later, he came back and asked to try again, and she acquiesced.

When Emoti-Con appeared, Anya was dismayed to realize that she didn't know anything about him: he'd either changed his name and appearance, or been recruited after she'd arrived in the Prime Reality. Still, she was clever enough to deduce he had some kind of emotional powers based on his name and Jeremy and Cindy's strange behavior. However, when she tried to bring Cindy to the medical bay for some tests, the Pink Ranger attacked her and fled Fort Myers.

Pursuing her, Anya, Jake and Walter found Cindy and Jeremy fighting each other and Emoti-Con egging them on. The trio attacked the monster, but Walter and Jake were quickly put out of commission. The monster set two bazooka-firing smiley faces on Anya, but she continued to attack him, managing to trick him into freeing Jake via smiley-face bazooka fire (yes, really). She went to wake up Walter, aided by a mysterious blinding flash, and the entire team took Emoti-Con down. As they returned to the base, Jeremy and Cindy almost got into another argument apologizing to each other, but Anya made them laugh by calling them out.

Personality
Anya's ordeal as a freedom fighter left her with an unemotional view of death and an intense drive to stop Kalask, which occasionally crosses the line into blind vengeance. Most of the time, she is serious and focused on her mission, internalizing her own feelings.
