Looks like Juggernaut got in a parting shot, Maya's victory wasn't as clean as it seemed. Those scars on her chest look like his work.

I dunno, she seems a bit too badass for the "beat to poo poo" part to be regular, at least. Waking up on the ground with people wondering if you're dead (or perhaps just drunk or something), though...

Epic swordfights and drinking benders tend to end up the same way for her, and in fact often blend together.

My suspicion is that the outcome is typical, what's changed as she got more badass is the scale of who the other guy was.

No, I think those are legit her nieces. Family tradition is to either "marry young, grow old, fat, and happy, and have many large and healthy children" or become a bitter murder hobo. So while Maya chose the latter, I presume she had brothers and sisters who made the former choice.

It's just a way of respectfully addressing older women whether they're related or not. I really doubt she's actually related to these two random bystanders but who knows, maybe I'm wrong.

That'd raise the chance of her being their great-great-great-etc... auntie.

You're probably right.

I always assumed that Maya was actually related to Meti, but the fact that "auntie" is being used so commonly makes me realize that they probably just lived in the same town.

There's a lot of east Asian cultures where it's common refer to older women you are familiar with as "auntie". "Obasan" in Japanese, for instance, is a common way to refer to older women who aren't literally your parent's sister.

Not just Asian cultures. As kids we (American Scandinavians) were encouraged to refer to adult friends of our parents who we saw often as aunt and uncle.

I'm familiar with the idea of kids referring to older friends of the family as aunt or uncle, but I think that referring to older strangers as such is largely an Asian thing.

Yeah, that might have been a thing in the past, but I'm fairly sure it's not done anywhere here in Norway, at least not these days. Can't speak for Denmark or Sweden, though.

I think it's done with increasing frequency in the US, though. Feel like that's a common thing for friends of millennial parents.

It is old-fashioned in some parts of Eastern Europe, but everybody would understand it. The shift to calling everybody Mr. Mrs. has been only in the past century ( you would not call just anybody Mister).
