Maia Sterling is a fictional character from the Robotech series. She appears in Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles and possibly briefly in one episode of The Robotech Masters series.

[edit] Story

Lieutenant Commander Maia Sterling is the second child of Max Sterling and Miriya Sterling, and is Dana Sterling's younger sister. Like her sister, Dana, she is half human and half Zentraedi. She has short, pink hair, and appears to have adopted the color for use on her equipment. She is the leader of Skull Squadron in Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles. She is strict like her mother and yet witty like her father. She is a skilled pilot, and like her parents, marks her fighter with her own personal colors - in this case, a combination of the standard blue paint scheme, and her own personal pink. Her personal flight suit uses a similar color scheme. Marcus Rush is attracted to her, and the fact that she becomes visibly annoyed when Marcus is fascinated by the android, Janice, suggests that she is interested in him as well.

The other daughter of Max and Miriya was seen by Dana during a hallucinatory sequence in Catastrophe, the final episode of the Robotech Masters segment. This character gave rise to the Aurora Sterling character seen in the Jack McKinney novelization. Maia's characterization has nothing in common with Aurora as depicted in the novels. Due to the redesignation of the novels to secondary continuity, it is unclear whether Maia is meant to replace Aurora or simply be another daughter along with Aurora.
