## Personality

## History

May was born in Edinburgh, Scotland to a relatively poor family. The child of divorced parents, May never had a good home life. Growing up she was generally a street punk, though not without her feminine side. MacTaggart got a reputation as a problem child as a kid after throwing down more then a few times. The young tomboy ultimately decided to become a hero on a dare from one of her friends. May applied to Shinsui, on a dare, and manage to pass with flying colors. Maybe she was meant to be a hero all along?

May discovered her quirk after she learned to run by going a bit too fast for her own good. She was regularly seen throughout her child hood covered in scrapes and bruises from using it for more childish things. She became a workout fiend after learning that a bit natural padding made the strain less painful. While she is rather playful, she has begun to slowly mature from her time at the academy.

## Abilities

### Quirk: Momentum

Momentum is a simple, but dangerous quirk. May can speed up to super human speeds and run into something with the force of a freight train at full speed. Momentum works in any direction, as long as she is moving she can speed up to high speeds. While her quirk does minimize the strain this puts on her body, she still feels it. This has lead to her working out to help cushion the impact of her quirk.

### Physical & Mental Capabilities

May is physically very strong from constant weight training and working out. While her quirk doesn't make her particularly strong, the need to cushion her body from high speed impacts has forged her body. Mentally May is average. While not stupid or foolish, she is infamously stubborn and unwilling to give up or back down. What she lacks in book smarts she makes up with experience in growing up in rough areas.

Though she fears that she is dragging him down, she is slowly coming to terms that she might honestly and truly love him.

**Ellen Jones**

May has, at best, a poor relationship with both of her parents. Her mother left her life when she was little and her drunkard father called her a mistake. With no other family, she never cared much for either of her parents. She has gone on record that if either died she would probably smile.
