Happy Birthday (in Japan time zone at least) to the BEST GIRL. Maya was the first idol/band/singing anime girl I ever loved so much, she quickly eclipsed all my past best girls from other series. I love her kindness, her modesty, how well she understands and supports her friends, and of course her passion for music and equipment! I’ve loved seeing her growth from studio musician to idol despite her worries at first! Her desire to be loved and needed for who she is really got to me- and I’m so happy that PasuPare has given her such great friends. I don’t have any nice offerings for her birthday (yet. Maybe I’ll finish something nice enough to share? Maybe) but I’m planning to wear my Effort shirt tomorrow (Nov 3rd here) in celebration. And Maya, thank you for being my first best girl to ever actually come home in a big scout of mine, having your first 4* really makes my EN account feel right and I’ll do my best to save for your cards there from here on out too <3

Edit: reading her birthday dialogue and stuff on JP inspired me to at least draw something small in time https://chocofondue-art.tumblr.com/post/179704291743/happy-birthday-to-my-girl-3-i-love-you-maya-here
