The 4400

Maia Rutledge was born February 28, 1938, and disappeared March 3, 1946, at age 8 from Crescent City, California. She is the earliest of the returnees to be taken and the first to exhibit a special ability.

Maia began recording her visions in diaries.

Her foster mother, NTAC Agent Diana Skouris, adopted her in the first episode of season two (Wake Up Call). Maia was the first 4400 to develop the immunity failure due to the promicin inhibitors.

She was re-abducted by a representative from the future posing as her biological sister to be reinserted at a different point in the timeline (the year 1822). She was returned to the present by representatives from the future through a deal brokered by Tom Baldwin.

Maia began attending classes for 4400 children at the 4400 Center. In the season finale of season three ("Fifty-Fifty"), Diana removed Maia from the 4400 Center school due to security concerns although Maia sneaked back into school the day Isabelle went on a rampage in the center. At the end of season three, Maia moved to Spain with her mother and Ben.

At the beginning of season four, the three returned to the U.S. after the disappearance of her aunt April. It is revealed that she supports Jordan Collier's plans for the future.
