Beth Maza
Beth Maza is the youngest child of Peter and Diane Maza, born in 1975. [1] She is therefore also the younger sister of Elisa and Derek Maza.
History
Beth is currently enrolled in Flagstaff University in Arizona, majoring in Native American Studies. [2] She is very familiar with the myths, legends, and religious beliefs of the Native Americans in the southwest of the United States, particularly those concerning Coyote the Trickster.
Beth first met the gargoyles in 1996 when the Avalon World Tour brought Goliath, Elisa, Angela, and Bronx to Flagstaff; she worked alongside them and her father to stop Xanatos from capturing Coyote the Trickster. ("Cloud Fathers")
In May 1997, Beth flew home to New York City to meet her newborn nephew and was still in the city when Goliath's Hearing was televised. There, Beth saw Elisa's testimony and learned (with the rest of the world) about her sister's relationship with the gargoyle. While the Maza family would have mixed reactions to this news, Beth would "get it". [3] ("Miracle Child", "New Rules")
Characteristics
Beth is the member of the Maza family most willing, after Elisa, to accept the strange and unusual, such as the gargoyles or Coyote the Trickster. Indeed, she recognized Coyote's hand in the adventure at Flagstaff before the others did. Beth is likely to at least attempt to connect back with Carlos Maza's Native American beliefs. [4]
She lives in an apartment in Flagstaff and drives a pick-up truck.
