Profile[]
Persona 2[]
Lisa Silverman's homeroom teacher, who is known as "Ms. Ideal". She used to work alongside Jun's father, Mr. Kashihara. Ms. Okamura harbored unrequited love for him, and resented his wife, Junko. She was a collaborator on Kashihara's unreleased book, In Lak'ech, which prophesied the signs leading up to the end of days; among these portents was the return of the Fuhrer and his "Last Battalion". Kashihara later met a suspicious death when he fell in the Seven Sisters clock tower and was crushed by the gears.
Innocent Sin[]
"A Japanese history teacher in charge of Lisa's class. It seems she's doing some independent research..."
She first appears in Seven Sisters High School, observing the Narurato Stone, and warns Tatsuya Suou to not get too close to it, as the effects of it on people aren't known. She also notes the "usual odd magnetism" in it, and hopes that it stays that way for the rest of the month.
After the publication of In Lak'ech and the appearance of the Last Battalion in Sumaru, Ms. Okamura stations herself at the Kuzunoha Detective Agency, where she assists in shedding light on Mr. Kashihara's research on the Last Battalion. As more portents of the book start becoming true, Okamura loses her mind and decides to expedite the apocalypse; she allows herself to be kidnapped by Prince Taurus and is taken deep into Xibalba. The party thought that she was the sacrifice required to fulfill the entire Oracle of Maia, not knowing the real sacrifice is actually Maya Amano, and pursues her to save her and prevent the obliteration of mankind. Later, her delusions cause a hibernation chamber for the Bolontiku to materialize on the ship, who knock her down and attack the party.
After the aliens are defeated by Tatsuya's party, who leave Okamura behind, she is approached by Nyarlathotep offscreen, who gives her the Spear of Destiny to kill Maya Amano with it, which Nyarlathotep summoned her to do after being defeated as the Great Father, causing the apocalypse as according to the "Maian prophecy." Philemon intervenes by rewinding time and negating Maya's death, thus creating the Eternal Punishment's timeline.
Eternal Punishment[]
"World history teacher of class 2-C who also has the first name, "Maya". I sense that I've met her somewhere...?"
Ms. Okamura appears during the main story only once: she is standing in the school courtyard during the game's introduction, saying that although the rock (the Narurato Stone) she is looking at looks suspicious, nothing happens when it's searched. If Maya speaks with her, she will sense that they have met before. She also makes an eerie appearance outside the door leading to the school's clock tower in the EX Dungeon. She demands the whopping amount of half a million yen in exchange for ripping open the plate leading to the tower, making it a virtual necessity to retrieve five valuable coins that can be sold at a hundred thousand yen each.

- The name Maya means "real, genuine" (真) (ma) and "night" (夜) (ya).
