Hammasa Kohistani (Dari: حماسه کوهستانی, born 19 December 1987) is a British model, charity worker and beauty pageant titleholder.

[1] She was known as "Miss Maya" after the Asian fashion house which sponsored her, and was reportedly offered a part in a forthcoming Bollywood movie.

[1] Kohistani represented England in the Miss World championships in China in December 2005, but despite being one of the favorites, she failed to advance to the semifinal of 16.

[9] One of Kohistani's portraits on stock photo site Getty Images was used as the basis for the face of the extraterrestrial character Tali'Zorah from the Mass Effect series of video games.

[10][11] The stock photo was later replaced in Mass Effect Legendary Edition with an original image of Tali shown with her face mask removed.
