The Aricee One Classic: a piece of engineering from a generation long passed with almost no working models left on the known world.
Maia is determined to restore this vintage piece of junk to its former glory. She doesn't care that it's older than three times her age, as with a little care, time, and hard work, it will be hers. It's a deeper level of satisfaction she just can't get from buying the flashy new models with extraneous features.
Also she's flat broke.
Cintiq 21UX, Photoshop - ~YanYu worked with me on the pose for Maia here, and designed her sporty outfit on a separate page in her sketchbook (seen here: [link] ) It was a bit of a throwback to her older designs of 2008, where she had that transparent shirt and a collar.

Just to let you know, this looks remarkably like my Motobecane and I plan to paint her blue just like this images simply because of how amazing it looks. Plus yellow's a bit too flamboyant a color to me.
