[[File: Adolin's_Shardblade.png|thumb|left|Adolin in [[Shardplate]] holding his [[Shardblade]].]]
Maya's appearance in [[Shadesmar]] is that of a woman{{book ref|oathbringer|87}}{{book ref|oathbringer|89}}{{book ref|oathbringer|93}} with scratched out eyes{{book ref|oathbringer|87}}{{book ref|oathbringer|93}}, though the appearance of this is similar to a painting with the features scratched out and not simply empty sockets.{{book ref|oathbringer|89}} She also has features that seem to be made of ashen brown cords the thickness of hair,{{book ref|oathbringer|87}} giving the appearance of rough cloth{{book ref|oathbringer|89}}, string{{book ref|sa3|101}} or brown vines{{book ref|sa3|117}}.
In the [[Physical Realm]] she appears as a Shardblade. The blade itself is shaped like a larger version of a standard longsword and bears some resemblance to the enormous two handed broadswords traditionally wielded by Horneaters. The cutting edge is smooth and sinuous, like an eel, while the back has ridges of crystal.{{book ref|sa2|14}}. When summoned, the mist it forms from is in the shape of vines.{{17s ref|post|224039|Does this mean that the Radiant that the blade was originally bonded to was an Edgedancer?|date=2 February 2015}}
==Personality==
Not much is known about Mayalaran's personality. Her face is void of emotion at all times{{book ref|sa3|101}}{{book ref|sa3|117}} and she mostly communicates via screeching.{{book ref|sa3|89}}{{book ref|sa3|117}} She always follows Adolin unless prevented, though this is probably because he bonded her. However she did, of her own volition, protect him from a Fused. During the [[Battle of Thaylen City]], after Adolin talks to her, she tells him her name but no more than that and even appears in his hand in seven heartbeats instead of the usual ten.{{book ref|sa3|120}} This indicates at least some level of deeper connection to Adolin.
== History ==
Mayalaran was one of the shards placed on the line in Adolin and Dalinar's dueling campaign to disarm the [[Shardbearer|Shardbearers]] of the [[Highprince|Highprinces]]{{book ref|wor|5}}. The most important duel of these duels being the one against [[Relis]], [[Elit Ruthar|Elit]], [[Abrobadar]] and [[Jakamav]]{{book ref|wor|56}}{{book ref|wor|57}}. She was also present at many battles, including the [[Battle of the Tower]]{{book ref|twok|66}}{{book ref|twok|67}} and the [[Battle of Narak]]{{book ref|wor|81}}{{book ref|wor|82}}{{book ref|wor|83}}{{book ref|wor|84}}.
===The
Adolin talks with Mayalaran before he [[Kaladin]], [[Shallan]] and [[Elhokar]] storm the palace at Kholinar. He acknowledges that she is a dead spren and that he is sorry there is nothing he can do to fix it. He thanks her for all the years they've fought together and promises to try and use her only to do good.{{book ref|sa3|83}}
Mayalaran and Adolin met for the first time when he crossed over into [[Shadesmar]]{{book ref|sa3|87}}{{book ref|sa3|89}} with [[Shallan]], [[Kaladin]], [[Vivenna]], [[Pattern]] and [[Sylphrena]] from the corrupted [[Oathgate]] in [[Kholinar]].{{book ref|sa3|85}} Pattern informs them all that Mayalaran is quite dead. Usually she will trail after Adolin but otherwise remain motionless{{book ref|sa3|89}}{{book ref|sa3|93}} and to go elsewhere must be lead by the hand.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
When travelling with the [[Reachers]] Mayalaran is locked in a small room in the cargo hold by [[Captain Ico]] who calls her a deadeye. He tells Adolin that deadeyes do not watch where they're going and he couldn't have her on deck. Ico tells Adolin that he should not pretend that Mayalaran is his friend, that she is only a tool to him.{{book ref|sa3|101}}
At the [[Thaylen City]] Oathgate in Shadesmar Mayalaran protects Adolin from one of the [[Fused]] without prompting. She is stabbed through with a sword but doesn't react beyond screeching.{{book ref|sa3|117}} Later, once they make it into Thaylen City, she and Adolin face the [[Thunderclast]]. Adolin believes she was made to fight them, being overly long for dueling, and that she wants to fight the Thunderclast because it reminds her of when she was alive. In response she tells him her name.{{book ref|sa3|120}} During their fight Adolin is able to summon her with only seven heartbeats after he pleads with her to appear before the Thunderclast catches him.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
