Um... but what does Secret of Mana have to do with 
Neon Genesis Evangelion???

I do know of a Maya from NGE but not a Mana.

Mana is a character from the Evangelion game "Girlfriend of Steel".
Despite her relationship with Shinji and [spoiler], she seems to be much
closer to well-adjusted than many of the regular cast.
