 * Description: The deuteragonist in Simulacra 2.  A popular influencer on the app Kimera (@mayaeatsclean), having over 100,000 (120,876) followers before she died. Having a yoga/vegan blog. One of the victims of The Rippleman.

Personal experience
Based on her mails, Kimera posts and Jabbr posts.

Aug 2019 and Before: She advocated vegetarianism and yoga and showed her vegetarian life on social media (not actually), which caused her support to skyrocket. In the meanwhile, she was having connections with Ruben, one of the Kimera developers, and started to show interest in the software that he develops in the course of the game (K-REMOTE).

Sept 2019: She created Group "New Beginnings" with Arya Park, Mina D'Silva and Rex Keegan, to get the biggest influencers together in one group. But because she lied and then shook the internet's opinion of her because of being discovered, her popularity dropped and she lost the opportunity to participate in Be Well 2019. She began to find a way to restore popularity, but no matter what she did, her popularity continued to decline. This was the doing of The Rippleman, the Simulacrum around which the game revolves. It was because this Simulacrum can manipulate the reputation and followers of an Influencer as one of its many abilities, which then lures its victims into its fake TRM advertisements, thus tethering the person's soul to The Rippleman and leading him/her to madness and their death to its hands. It presumably then makes their soul part of itself.

Oct 2019: Her popularity has recovered and is higher than before, obviously due to her taking The Rippleman 's deal.

After days and days, after attempts and attempts of getting all her friends in her apartment to eliminate this Simulacrum, she finally is able to get them in one place. She tells them how she has discovered to get rid of The Rippleman and how they're so close... only to have it taken away. She has spasms, similar to a seizure, which also affect the laptop's webcam, giving more to the idea that it was actually The Rippleman, before dropping dead on the floor. The synced recording then cuts off, and her face presumably bursts open off-camera.

 Maya Crane has taken the deal it has been revealed.
