#ouhhhhmaya my baby maya…. I love her so much I’m so happy to finally see her how I’ve had her in my head

[ashers-selfships]

Okay this is gonna wind up being kind of a sappy post so sorry in advance

But I’ve finally completed an official reference page for my Ed Edd n Eddy oc that I’ve had for YEARS. Physically and personality-wise she’s kind of the same as she was 8 or 9 years ago, but she’s come a long long way from the oc I made for an EEnE fanfic. She’s been with me through a lot in my life. I feel so proud for getting this ref page done, even if it’s not a lot, because I’ve done the one thing younger me wanted to do for so long, and that was to be able to draw in the show’s style—mostly because I was really inspired by a popular EEnE oc artist, Gabi Sakura, and I wanted to be like her—and it’s a small thing but i just feel so proud and happy to have finally achieved it. I tried my best on her (mostly winged it on the clothing) and while it’s not 100% exact it looks good enough, and recognizable I’d say.

Putting her ref below, and then some more lore/facts about her under the cut so the post doesn’t take up someone’s whole screen (most likely gonna infodump because I just love herrr). I will say I’m kinda being brave about posting this to the main tags because. I mean I’m talking about an Ed Ed n Eddy oc in 2025 I feel like I’m way past the point when ocs were more popular lol but it’s fine, I’m having fun and that’s all that matters

Some lore for Maya!: Like I said above she was originally created as an oc for an Ed Edd n Eddy x reader fanfic (specifically a Double D x reader … yeah I was obsessed with him for so long), written on Quotev by a user called Raven; her brown sweater is a direct reference to it. It used to be one of my favorite fanfics ever but I don’t think she ever wound up updating it again (and the grammar is WAY worse than I remember it being but that’s probably the norm for fanfic from 2017)

She’s Ed and Sarah’s sister but she used to just be their cousin! This is because in that x reader, iirc the reader was their cousin so of course Maya was. She’s been through many relatives because for a time I was indecisive on who to ship her with lol..

I remember at one point giving her glasses (for some reason?), and around that time I also made her British?? Yeah I have no idea what I was doing. I do remember making the changes for a story I was writing with her in it but I couldn’t tell you why.

As kinda shown in the drawing, she has scars on her arm (many more under her sleeves). Another reference to the original fanfic! They are self-inflicted, which is different to the original; just like lil old me, sometimes her emotions or stress get the better of her and she just can’t deal with them in a safer way, though she doesn’t do it as frequently as she used to.

She likes to stim with the bracelets she has on! Mostly she’ll flap her hands or swing her arm to get them to jingle and it’s soothing for her.

Also as shown in the drawing, she has some kind of relationship with Eddy’s older brother (Terry is his fanon name iirc which is better than just calling him "Eddy’s brother" all the time lol; also on that note her last name is Ed and Sarah’s fanon last name). They have their romantic moments for sure but most of the time it’s kinda (very) complicated.. think ‘A Loving Feeling’ and ‘I Bet On Losing Dogs’ by Mitski. On that note, a lot of Mitski songs are very Maya-coded… poor girl. They’re like a majority of the playlist I made for her.

As I was writing this I realized I completely forgot to give her a height… I think she’s a little shorter than Ed but not a complete shorty. Maybe around Kevin’s height? I don’t know I’ll have to look at them all next to each other again because my memory is failing me lol
