Appearance:
5'7", 135lbs. Maya has dark brown hair, long and typically tied back. Dark brown eyes and complexion hint at her native American heritage. She is very physically fit and quite attractive.
When expecting trouble, she dons her "war path" costume. She paints a white hand across her face. She wears a black athletic top, pants, and boots. She also wraps her arms and hands in gray and decorates with eagle feathers attached at the biceps.
Personality:
Maya is generally a very energetic and lively woman. She lives life large and doesn't allow her deafness to slow her down.
She doesn't fear the dark, unless she has reason to be concerned for her safety. If forced to fight in complete darkness, she quickly loses confidence, regressing to child-like fear.
Another side of Maya comes forth when she is seeking vengeance. She is tough and focused, easily intimidating foes and heedless of the consequences of her actions. She refers to this as her "war path" mindset.

Wikipedia entry.
Maya Lopez is the daughter of mob figure William "Crazyhorse" Lincoln - so nicknamed because he was a full-blooded Amerind, and his sanity was tenuous and slowly unraveling. Lincoln became a friend and criminal associate of Wilson "the Kingpin" Fisk, and their partnership lead them on a fast rise - until Crazyhorse's growing madness forced Fisk to cold-bloodedly kill him. As a last request, Lincoln asked Fisk to care for his daughter as best as he could, and the Kingpin agreed.
Fisk was, of course, true to his word and took care of the girl - who was though to be retarded. She wasn't - it was an all too common case where deafness was though to be a mental handicap, while she was actually a smart and active little girl. When she was about five or seven, a pianist came to the school for retarded children; Maya was enthusiastic and after the small concert rushed to the piano to replay it again, perfectly, greatly enjoying the sensation of the piano's vibration feeding back to her as she was playing. It became quite obvious she actually wasn't retarded.
When the news reached Fisk he made the necessary connections to afford her excellent education, and start an artistic career of her own. Maya became a renowned artist and soon acquired financial independence. Lopez lived for years like this, with Fisk as a paternal but somewhat distant guardian and occasional tutor. She trusted him completely and didn't know anything about his actual activities, thinking that the attacks against him were slander and terrorism perpetrated, among others, by the dangerous vigilante Daredevil.
At one point, Fisk used Lopez as a deadly weapon against Daredevil/Murdock. At first she simply dated Murdock at Fisk's apparently simple suggestion - and quickly found herself very attracted to Murdock, and vice versa. That was Fisk's primary plan - to destroy Murdock by filling the void inside men when it came to his relationships, not by taking away from him. Murdock understood that strategy and clearly took the message to Fisk that he was to leave him and Lopez alone. Angered, the Kingpin changed his approach, engineering the truth to convince Lopez it was Daredevil who had murdered her father. Feeling like she was riding a savage, unavoidable destiny she took the name Echo, and drawing upon the memories of stories and traditions from her father's people readied herself for the warpath. She did not manage to kill Daredevil, and during their last fights discovered he was really Murdock. Daredevil explained her it was obviously impossible for him to have killed Crazyhorse (since he was a schoolboy when Crazyhorse died), making it obvious that the real killer had been Fisk all along. Echo went back to Fisk's building, finding him wounded with multiple gunshots in the chest and head - he had been ambushed in an unrelated incident just hours before. Refusing to listen and trust him anymore, she shot him in the head. Fisk survived, but his sight was destroyed and he was permanently blind.
Maya Lopez fled the United States to avoid the attention of criminal and police elements in the next few hours, making it impossible to pursue any kind of relationship was Matt Murdock and burying her artistic careers.
