May Stone

## Description

A small skittish girl, May does everything she can to avoid interacting directly with people, preferring to hide and take pictures instead. She cannot speak well, stuttering so badly she's almost impossible to understand, and defaults to speaking through body language and writing in a notepad given to her by Bentley. She almost always wears a black hoodie dress with black sneakers, and seems oddly averse to the concept of pants. Her body is heavily scarred with what looks like old knife slashes and burn marks, mainly on her back and hips, and she is missing two teeth.

## Background Information

Born in Chicago, May is the younger sister of Katie Stone. Attempts to get her to join in murder seemed to have been largely a failure, and she implies she was heavily abused because of this, with her speech problems connected to this trauma. She has not specified who hurt her. She referred to herself as the Witness whose job was to take pictures for her mother and sister.

It is unclear why she is in Los Santos, because she appears terrified at the idea of finding her sister.

## Story

Unable to bring herself to interact with people, May communicated mainly by taking pictures and posting it on twitter under the handle of Wh1sper. People were alarmed by this and tried to lure her out. After taking a picture of a group of people in front of Benny's, she was caught and arrested for stalking. Due to Coach tazing her as she attempted to run away, she was released with no charges. Cecil made friends with her after hearing her name in the hopes of getting more information on her sister.

Teddy met her during this time and became highly attached to her, even inviting her to live with him. When Chase was murdered, he spoke candidly to her about his thoughts on her death and how she was a fool, and being socially awkward, she repeated this to Chase's adopted father, Nolan Baxter on the day of Chase's murder. Nolan responded by getting into a fist fight with May. Teddy felt like he had to choose between the two, and responded by kicking May out of his home and telling people she had threatened his business and friendships and was just an unforgivably bad person. May ended up making peace with Nolan by giving him some of Chase's ashes from her funeral, since he was unable to make it himself.

During this time, in frustration and loneliness, May stalked after Claire and attempted to grab her. Unable to get her alone, she ended up luring Ryka Shade out of town instead, and tying her up began to complain about fake friends. Interrupted by Jack Marrow, she attempted to rush him with a knife and was shot. While in the helicopter she fell out, the landing putting her into a week long coma. When she woke up she was sent to prison, with Hanna Belle telling her Kitty was dead. There she was confronted by Smiles, who told her Kitty had asked him to kill her. She offered to allow him to do so, after telling him Kitty had been killed. For some reason Smiles seemed to like her, and instead of killing her, offered her friendship and guidance. He gave her the name Calliope.

Looking for work, she met Reggie at the VU, where she was considering becoming a dancer. Reggie offered her money to get information on Hideki for him, which she accepted, glad not to be a stripper. Attempting to get close to Hideki, May ended up showing too much interest in the Yakuza and was unofficially brought in as a member, though she was leaking the information to Reggie. Reggie became afraid and turned in everything to Cecil, who in turn hinted to Hideki that he knew more than he should. Cecil met shortly with May, demanding she stop being a spy. During this conversation she agreed to stay alive and get out in return for a visit to Smiles to "tell him about Kitty's death" and other details. Cecil agreed to this. Hideki quickly decided May was the culprit, and with the rest of the gang took her to an isolated cabin up north where he confronted her. With no way out, she confessed to everything and begged for mercy. Hideki demanded she cut off a finger, and in panic she offered to give him Reggie instead, which he accepted. She asked Reggie to meet her for drinks up at Kortz Court, then led him and his fiancee Mirror into the maze. Hideki and Barry managed to capture him and Mirror, but ended up running away to avoid a shots fired call, leaving May with Reggie and Mirror. Reggie demanded if she knew, and May simply reminded him that she need to get out at "any cost". This led Reggie to warning people to stay away from May because she was a traitor and telling Cecil that May approached him as a member of Yakuza and started the idea herself.

Grateful to Hideki for sparing her despite her betrayal, she chose to reveal her Calliope face to him, and offered him her loyalty. He seemed to accept, and brought her along to torture Hunter for sharing information on the Yakuza. While escaping, he fell, injuring his back, and she carried him out of the steel mill. The police were already on the scene, and after a short chase the car flipped. May attempted to carry Hideki away, but was caught by police. She took off her mask, prompting Haven to recognize her. Hideki asked for her to go to the hospital with him, but once there she was forgotten and left. After getting a ride from Llanzo, she fled up north for a few hours, before attempting to return to town. Attempting to meet with Cecil to find out the rules about the Smiles visit, she was arrested and brought for questioning. She mistakenly confirmed it was Hideki she was carrying, though she attempted to fix her mistake by implying they had gone hiking much earlier and Hideki had gotten hurt twice. Cecil told Hideki May had betrayed him and in return Hideki told him that May was definitely at the torture. May refused to betray Hideki or admit she had anything to do with Hunter's injuries. Cecil and Adonis told May she was insane, possibly had Disassociative Identity Disorder, or some sort of blackouts before sending her to prison. Later on Cecil met with Hideki, who told him everything he knew about May, including the fact she could speak and went by Calliope. Cecil warned him to keep May at arms length and that somebody in the Yakuza had killed an officer, heavily implying May.

After speaking to Smiles again and receiving his car, May decided to try to hide in plain sight, going to Haven for weekly therapy to prove she was sane and safe, while Calliope worked behind the scenes. Eventually the Smiles visit happened. Afterwards May found a way to craft a collar that allowed her to speak. Finally able to get better work, she spent several days attempting to get a job at one of the mechanic shops. She refused to do anything illegal, desperate to fix her reputation. Around this time she spoke to Donny Morgan, who told her the Yakuza knew Hideki had sold her out to PD. After several days spent up north, May chose to leave the island. Her current whereabouts are unknown.

But May's story isn't over. Tomorrow is always a New Day.
