little mai was born in vietnam, but her birth parents lived in poverty and made the difficult decision to put their daughter up for adoption, wanting to give her the best chance at life. being an adorable bundle of sunshine, mai was quickly scooped up by a young couple living in vancouver, canada.

her adoptive parents decided to honour her heritage by naming her maia.

maia never really realized she was different from her very caucasian parents when she was very young, they were always just mom and dad. but as she grew older, her peers began pointing out her asian features and maia’s eyes were opened to her differences.

her parents never really knew how or when to have the “ you’re adopted ” conversation, but things were made easy for them when maia came home from fourth grade one day and popped the question, but not much really changed within the sallows house after that. and as she grew older, she began to properly understand the concept and how lucky she was to have parents who chose to give her a life full of happiness and health.

the sallows own and run a local animal rescue shelter, so maia has known compassion and benevolence her whole life. she grew up playing with young puppies and kittens, and rehabilitating scared animals. the shelter was a short walk from both the sallows home and maia’s schools, so she grew up spending a lot of her free time working in the shelter.

along with her passion for animals, maia fostered a passion for make up and beauty as she grew up. throughout high school, maia began posting her beauty looks on instagram and by the time she graduated, maia had grown quite a following.

instead of going off to college like most of her friends, maia began working more at the animal shelter and growing her online presence. eventually, she found herself streaming on twitch after revealing to her followers her secret obsession with video games. that was when she skyrocketed. she actually just recently hit 500k followers on twitch and continues to grow her channel as she plays in popular among us lobbies and also streams her usual content of animal crossing, overwatch, resident evil, and more.

can’t lie, my main inspiration for maia’s gaming has been my increased viewership of streamers like hafu, fuslie, wolfabelle, and valkyrae! fuslie is my biggest inspiration, with her cute, funny, and outgoing on-cam personality, but i also wanted to draw on wolfabelle’s less “ girly ” catalogue of games.

maia finally moved away from home in early 2019 and moved into opal apartments. she considers herself a full-time content creator now, but still helps out at the animal shelter whenever she can.

i imagine maia as a combination of phoebe buffay, mary poppins, monica geller, and taylor swift’s lover era. she’s the sunshine poking through cotton candy clouds, that feeling of euphoria when you see a little puppy walking down the sidewalk, the childlike innocence of watching your favourite disney movie.

she’s the mom friend of the group, but also the baby. she’ll hold you hair back after a night out, bake you cookies after a break up, and get riled up like a baby lion if someone is mean to you — all while simultaneously being too soft for her own good and needing her own cookies because she be getting her heart broken every other week.

everyone is her best friend. she’ll do anything for them, which is also her greatest downfall. break her heart, and she’ll apologize for the inconvenience — but break her friend’s heart and she’ll drop kick you into another galaxy. she soso protective of those she loves, but could channel some of that protectiveness towards herself.

the bitch is always dolled up. she loves makeup, can talk about it until your ears fall off, and will show up to everything in full beat. she loves to experiment and has a lot of fun doing other people’s makeup. she’s also your go-to skin care / self care bitch. she knows all the best formulas ( hyram who ? ) and she’ll gladly let you borrow anything from her full stocked collection.

she can most often be caught enjoying the outdoors during the day. she loves sunshine, going for walks, and finding cute new cafes or boutiques to shoutout on her instagram. she also has no shame stopping in the middle of the sidewalk for a mini insta shoot, so be prepared to become a personal photographer if you hang out with her.

at night, you’ll catch her on twitch, streaming until her neighbours yell at her to shut up. her aesthetic is that hella cute pink and white light up shit. the makeup usually doesn’t come off until after the stream is over, and she loves her chat so much, it’s adorable how much her mood can brighten once she starts the stream.
