Everything you said, can be said about every other characters, there are so many "Why? this or that ?" - that at this point is basically nitpicking

. But once again, we know way more about Maya than everybody else, and there are things that are not important at all, for the present. Maya, Josy and Derek , are friends from long time, and Maya develop deeper feelings toward Josy, and you wonder why ? have you seen her ?


.
Anyway, this is already can be confusing , but it's a "trope" A girl fall in love with her best friend, in this case in a girl. But she not confident in herself, or simply afraid. What is matter that once Josy learns about it , She makes the first step, she is the confident one. after the, honeymoon, until Maya's control freak father find out. The dude has problem with How Maya's dressing, so you can imagen. And in order to get out of this, She takes the matter in to her own hands. During this she meet a guy, and develop feelings toward her. And you know the story. But her actions, is not any different than MC who running around and do stuff in order to achieve his goals. Neither Maya or MC is in a position to not do what is necessary. but even there we see it's great deals for Maya to do things she not like to do, so you do have a picture about her personality. She does not flip-flop for a plot. In fact that is Jill, Jill is the one who seems a total different person in order for the Tybalt plot to work. During the first 4-5 episode nothing indicate that she is stupid enough to blindly belive in Tybalt's bullshits.
so I really don't understand where you're coming from in this Maya case. Maya is is not a Ball in a pinball game
. - if that's what you try to imply.
Bella is someone whom we had no idea about, because she take a backseat for a long time. and Josy who is there for Maya drama, or for the Jill drama. Maya is the freaking plot in the beginning, through her we know Derek, the Hots, Josy , Mona, as I said, the Plot revolve around Maya. Without Maya it would be a very different story, wihtout Josy it would be the same.

.So She actually influencing the plot, more so than others , and this is just the base plot. The relationship between Maya and MC, well I talked about it.
