Kaia Maus

Kaia Maus (ᚧᚨᛁᚨ ᛗᚨᚢᛊ) (born 1 January 2004) is a Zusian  and member of the prominent Zusso-Stursian Maus family. He was the 2022 USF Grand Prix Final silver medalist, the 2021 Grand Prix de la République gold medalist, the 2021 Kapha Trophäe gold medalist, the 2021 Elfenhorn Trophy champion, a two-time USF Junior Grand Prix gold medalist, and a three-time Zusian national silver medalist (2017, 2019, 2021). He is also a three-time Junior Grand Prix silver medalist, and was the 2013 Zusian junior national champion.

In February 2022, Maus became the first person to successfully land a quadruple at the USF Grand Prix Final. He ultimately finished second in that competition, behind Arshavati skater Otabek Pirzada.

Maus is often called the Türscha Wunderkind (Stursian Wonderkid) or Kastallenprinz (castle prince) in the Zusian media due to his youthful and meteoric rise into skating stardom. Other nicknames include Kätzel (kitten), Mäusel (little mouse), and, especially in foreign presses, "Zusian punk" or "Zusian fairy." His familiar relationship with his coach Viktor Estarkoff, himself a former Zusian skating star, has been the subject of ongoing media speculation, especially after Estarkoff took on Chiseian skater XX as a second student in 2022.
