**May** is a supporting character of Harvester of Sorrows: ...And Justice For All. Originally manipulated into being a spy for Zentha against the party, May decided to betray her and join their fight to kill Zentha before she has a chance to destroy the universe.

## History

### Early Life

**May** was born on JM-816. They had a normal life and family up until the age of 4, when a housefire killed their parents and they ended up in foster care. They were quickly adopted by a seemingly normal couple. However, over time it became clear to May that they were cruel people who only adopted them because they were a changeling. They regularly used May's powers to scam other people and commit identity theft.

May was extremely isolated growing up. They were not allowed to go to school or have friends, only having kids cartoons for entertainment during the day.

At the age of 15, May decided they could no longer allow themself to be exploited by their adopted parents. One night, they lit fire to the house in order to kill them. While blocking the exits, they were severely burned, but made their escape into the surrounding forest.

Using their learned skill of impersonation and shifting, May spent the next 3 years on the run. They spent most their time in fear and killed many more people in self defense during this time.

### A New Beginning

At the age of 18, May was finally caught and surrounded by police. Just as May was brought into custody, She was saved by a strange person. Once they were safe, she revealed herself as Zentha and offered May safety and work. May was initially taken aback and refused the offer, stating they didn't know anything about her. Zentha eventually earned May's trust enough to convince them to come to Nogae with her.

### The Chosen

After arriving in Nogae, May became a spy for The Chosen. WIP

## Personality and Traits

Due to their upbringing, May often appears off-putting and rude. They grow connections to people quickly and become obsessively loyal just as fast. They have a hard time making and keeping friends due to this but always put in an effort to befriend most people they meet and work with even if those people don't like them.

They often shift into other people for fun and work. However, they lack a solid self-image which often leads to them taking personality traits of others. Shifting into someone else for long periods of time also leads them to lose themselves in the fantasy of being that person and maintaining the other persons relationships, as they did with Rambler. When May is not shifted into other people, their chosen form is similar to their natural form, but shifted to look more uncanny and scary.

## Skills and Abilities

As a young child, May began learning how impersonate people. They learned to study anyone and their mannerisms to perfectly copy them. Their skills only grew as they aged. May is able to impersonate almost any person if they get enough time to study their behavior. May tries to learn everything there is to know about their friends and coworkers because of this.
