Maya Grace (Cryptids of WWU)

Within the WWU household, they often act as the closest thing to parental figures.
When chaos erupts:
💀 Mark and Mary
😭 Cade
📸 Jenna
🍨 Cassie
🐈 Katie
Maya and Juan usually end up cleaning up the aftermath.
Again.
Common relationship behaviors:
☕ Maya bringing Juan drinks when he's working
📋 Juan trusting Maya's judgment without hesitation
😌 Quiet conversations after long days
😭 Simultaneously becoming disappointed in the younger roommates
💀 Accidentally acting like parents despite not intending to
If someone insults Juan:
Maya becomes noticeably protective.
If someone insults Maya:
Juan becomes noticeably protective.
Neither reacts dramatically.
The problem simply gets handled.
Professionally.
Which is somehow scarier.
The household's unofficial belief:
"If Juan is the dean of WWU..."
"Maya is the reason WWU still exists." 😭💀🦌💍😤
ADMIN POWER MARRIAGE
STABILITY LEVEL: MAXIMUM
CHAOS TOLERANCE: UNFORTUNATELY VERY HIGH 😭

Maya and Juan are no longer dating.
They are married.
At some point, the dean and his assistant stopped being simply coworkers, partners, and close companions and became husband and wife.
Nobody is entirely sure when the transition happened.
One day they were:
"Dean Peralta and Ms. Grace."
The next day they were:
"Wait... they're married now? 😭"
And somehow absolutely nothing changed.
Except everything changed.
Maya deeply loves Juan.
Not because he is the dean.
Not because of his authority.
Not because of his position.
She loves him because she sees the man behind the title.
The exhausted administrator.
The coffee addict.
The person who spends countless hours trying to keep Wild Wood University functioning despite the daily chaos surrounding it.
She knows his strengths.
She knows his flaws.
She knows exactly how much responsibility he carries.
And she chooses him every day.
Juan loves Maya with equal devotion.
She is one of the very few people capable of matching him intellectually.
She understands him without lengthy explanations.
She notices when he is exhausted.
She notices when he is overwhelmed.
She notices when he needs help before he asks for it.
More importantly:
She makes his life better.
Together they function as a remarkably stable marriage built upon:
trust
loyalty
friendship
patience
mutual respect
shared responsibility
Neither is particularly dramatic.
Neither seeks attention.
Their relationship is steady.
Reliable.
Mature.
Comfortable.
The sort of relationship built over years rather than weeks.

Maya immediately shuts down inappropriate behavior.
Not through yelling.
Through disappointment.
Which is somehow worse.
Examples:
"No."
"Absolutely not."
"You should rethink that statement."
"I'm choosing to pretend I didn't hear that."
Repeated weird behavior results in:
loss of patience
administrative consequences
being reported to Juan 😭
Maya values:
maturity
respect
loyalty
responsibility
healthy relationships
Anyone seeking nonsense shall be met with:
