She is a student of class 2-D.

In Volume 7.5, Maya asks for Kei Karuizawa's help to plan her "date" with Kiyotaka Ayanokouji. Kei was surprised and suggested other boys to her, but she refused, and said that she only liked Kiyotaka. She told her plan to Kei and made some changes according to her suggestions. She then later asked Kei if they could make it a "double-date", by including her and Yousuke Hirata in the plan. Eventually, Kei agreed and decided to schedule the double date on December 25. She confessed to Kiyotaka after the double date during Christmas, but was rejected and ran away crying. They promised each other that they will hang out again in the future and wants to see each other again but Sato couldn’t hold her feelings and excused herself first as she didn’t want him to see her in a pathetic state. She was hinted to have cried an innumerable amount of times behind closed doors after being rejected as the next time we saw her, she was able to frankly tell her friends she was rejected without being choked up. Her friends summarised that this could only had happened if she had come to terms with the rejection showing an immense amount of willpower to move on. That said, she still harbours feelings for Kiyotaka and has admitted that she finds him way cooler and hotter than Hirata not holding against Kei for liking the same person. She still feels conflicted that her best friend was in a relationship with her crush but decided to uphold their secret and support them in whatever way she can.

Maya has below average academic abilities as was apparent during the Paper Shuffle special exam. Her physical abilities are of the lower echelon as well. However, she is one of more popular girls in her class. Although not to the tier of Kei, many observers were astonished to see someone like her talk to and publicly flirt with the 'uninteresting' Kiyotaka. She is also out-going and not afraid to take risks such as confessing to Kiyotaka on their first date.
