Real Name: Maya Lopez
Codename: Echo
Age: 19
Appearance: Mia Maestro (Nadia from Alias)
Height - 5'9"
Eyes - brown
Hair - black
Personality: sweet, classy, charming, hates death, determined, brave, always using her head in tough situations, never backs down from a fight
Powers:
- photographic memory

Brief History: When she was a small girl, Maya Lopez's father was killed by the Kingpin. As he died, he left a bloody handprint on Maya's face.
The last wish of Maya's father before dying was that Fisk raise the child well: a wish the Kingpin honored, caring for her as if she was his own.
Believed to be mentally-disabled, Maya was sent to an expensive school for people with learning disabilities. There, she managed to completely replicate a song on the piano. After that, she was sent to another expensive school—for prodigies. She would soon become a gifted woman.
One day, upon visiting her father's grave with Fisk, she asked how he died. Fisk told her that Daredevil had killed him.
Maya was sent by the Kingpin to Matt Murdock to prove Matt's weakness. He told her that Matt believed he was a bad person, and that she was the only way to prove him wrong. (As Maya believed him, it would not appear to be a lie when she told Matt.)
Matt Murdock and Maya soon fell in love. She later took on the guise of Echo, hunting Daredevil down. On her face she painted a white handprint, similar to how her father left his dying handprint on her when she was young. Having watched videos of Bullseye and Daredevil fighting, she proved more than a match for Daredevil. She took him down and nearly killed him, refusing only when she found out Matt and Daredevil were one and the same. Matt managed to correct the Kingpin's lies. In revenge, Maya confronted Fisk and shot him in the face, blinding him and starting the chain of events that would lead to his eventual downfall. (Kingpin would later partially recover his eyesight through reconstructive eye surgery.)
After realizing the horror of her actions and the lies she has grown up with, Maya fled the United States to do some soul-searching. When she came back, she tried reuniting with Matt Murdock, only to find out he was now with a blind woman named Milla Donovan, and that the Kingpin was still alive (despite Maya's attempts to kill him). Leaving Matt, Maya visited the Kingpin in prison, who told her that he didn't blame her for what she did, and that despite all that had happened, he still loved her like a daughter.
Unsatisfied and still needing peace, Maya turned to the Chief, her father's old friend, noted for his wisdom. The Chief sent Maya on a Vision Quest to calm her soul. On her quest, she met and befriended Wolverine who helped her recover and passed on his knowledge of Japanese culture and Japanese organized crime. Soon enough, Echo made peace with her past and was back doing performance art

- Some of her powers are not truly associated with the canon character but I wanted her to have more
