May is a young and energetic Pokémon Coordinator currently traveling through various regions to compete in Pokémon Contests. She started her journey traveling throughout the Hoenn region accompanying Ash and Brock, along with her little brother Max. On the way to the Grand Festival, she met Harley and Drew. When Ash and Brock left for Sinnoh, she goes to Johto alone without Max. She appears in a few episodes of Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension, where she traveled to Sinnoh to compete in the Wallace Cup. She reappears in a flashback in The Dream Continues!.

Appearance

May is a slim girl of average height. She has long brown hair with a single fringe at the center with three edges secured by a red and white kerchief, and blue eyes with long eyelashes. Her single fringe on her long brown hair is nearly identical to her father, Norman's. She wears a red shirt with a navy blue semi-circle on it, a yellow fanny pack, white and navy gloves, a white mini skirt over dark blue cycle shorts, and black ankle socks along with red shoes with black and yellow stripes.

Her Emerald-based outfit is a sleeveless orange tunic with a black collar and white pockets and stripes over black cycle shorts. She also has a mint green fanny pack, a green and white kerchief, the same black ankle socks and orange, white and black shoes.

Her outfit during the thunderstorm in "Fear of a Thunderstorm" consists of a white raincoat with a red-patterned, yellow semi-circle and cuffs, a brown belt with a gold buckle, blue jeans with cow-printed chaps, and brown rainboots.

In the Virtual Paradise, May wears a red visor cap with a white rim and Poke-ball design, a red sleeveless hooded dress with a black stripe in the middle, a white fanny pack, black and red fingerless gloves, and black and red high-top sneakers.

In the Dog-Daze of Summer series, May wears a red tank top with a black undershirt, white short shorts with black lycra mini-leggings underneath, yellow and black ankle boots with red soles, a red and white bandanna/kerchief, a yellow-and-green fanny pack, and the Mega Bracelet on her left wrist.

In the fourth season of the Senior Year series, May is seen wearing two main outfits. When outdoors, May wears a red cardigan with a pale-red pattern on it over a light pink buttoned-up tunic. Her indoor outfit consists of a white mock-turtleneck with red wavy stripes and ¼-length sleeves, as well as a blue layered skirt. With both of these outfits, May also wears white gloves with red cuffs and fingertips, dark blue leggings with a white snowy pattern on them, red, black, and yellow sneakers with green trim, and the same bandana and fanny pack from Dog-Daze.

Personality

At the start of her journey, May didn't like Pokémon, as she only wanted to start her journey just so she can travel and visit places. However, her encounter with Ash and Brock changed that. Despite her beauty, May is a sweet and very kind-hearted person, who would help people in need. Like Misty, she can get very angry at times, with her disagreements with Ash or her brother, Max, but unlike Misty, she is able to overcome her fear of Bug-type Pokémon. However, she can get very sad, especially when she loses a Contest, but does her best to prevail. She is also shown to have a side for romance, though at rare occasions. She became angry to her Munchlax for it was eating food that belongs to someone else and running off when she didn't kept an eye on it, she had Max give Munchlax "pink suprise" in order to fill up Munchlax's appetite and prevent it from eating.
