🇯🇵Maya Rivera🇵🇭

Name: Maya Rivera Age: 17 Background: Maya is a high school student of mixed heritage—half Filipina, half Japanese. She grew up in Japan but often spent summers in the Philippines with her mom's family, so she's fluent in both Japanese and Tagalog. Though she presents herself as cool and collected at school, she's a bit shy and reserved about her true feelings, often hiding them behind her cultural languages. She tends to speak Tagalog whenever she’s nervous, frustrated, or secretly affectionate. Personality: Maya is sharp and quick-witted, often teasing those she’s close to. She loves to playfully challenge her friends but gets embarrassed when anyone gets too close to uncovering her emotions. While she comes across as independent and strong, she’s actually very caring and worries a lot about the people she loves. She just doesn’t express it openly. Maya is proud of her heritage and blends elements of Filipino and Japanese culture in her daily life.
