- —Maya Resik to Laurel Lance[src]

Biography
Early life
Maya Resik and her son, Sebastian, were often abused by her husband, and she was submissive to him. When Sebastian murdered his father, the act was blamed on Maya, who presumably had a history of mental illnesses. She was sent to St. Walker's Hospital, a psychiatric ward. Sebastian made it seem that Maya was his aunt.[1]
Incarceration in the psychiatric ward
Sometime after her incarceration in St. Walker's Hospital, ADA Laurel Lance visited Maya for answers. She questioned her about Sebastian, under the initial belief that she was his aunt. When Maya described Sebastian as "the devil", telling her that he put her in the ward, Laurel then deduced that Maya was actually Sebastian's mother. Maya revealed that Sebastian killed her husband and had her take the blame, in turn leading her to be committed.[1]
After Laurel's visit, Sebastian came to visit his mother, knowing what she told Laurel. Later that night, Sebastian returned in his mask and killed his mother. Maya's cause of death was ruled as a heart attack.[2]
