Twenty years ago today, I met a girl at tafe named Maya. She just randomly came in from another classroom and started talking to me. At the time I was working on designing characters for a series of comics called Airbury Academy (not at that exact time of course), and I later designed a character based on her looks and personality.
I called this character Maya even though I try to avoid giving names of people I know to characters. In Maya's first appearance in the comic, she just randomly comes up to the two main characters and starts talking to them. She is also the last character to say goodbye to them in the series' final scenes.
As it turned out though, I had misheard when my graphic design teacher told me the girl from the other class's name. I found out a few weeks later that her name wasn't Maya. Phew! Lawsuit averted.
