personality;; May is known for her "attack first, ask questions later" attitude, making her almost a soldier without cause. Yet, this is easily put into a more productive loyalty toward her pack and friends, becoming attached to only a few beings at a time. She isn't very motherly due to the lack of her own parents, and prefers not to speak of matters such as becoming a breeding female.

history;; Blood of the fighting dog pumps within May’s body to this day, she only being born to serve as a prop for cruel entertainment. She was the largest out of her litter, making her the prime candidate for her new purpose in life. Most of her time with man was spent in this ring, being beaten with sticks as training to become highly aggressive.  The “she devil” is what they called her in the ring, with a death grip in her jaws that seemed to fade away any trace of femininity in her. Not even the strongest stud could make her submit, her strength and skill only belonging to her. Her life as a prized fighting dog came to an end when the authorities, sending everyone in a mass panic, discovered the illegal operation.  Within the chaos of people scrambling to collect any money and valuables, the ever-prized May was left behind while each other dog was either captured or killed on the spot. The only place to run was to the wilderness, into the unknown that was claimed by all of the wild beasts. 

The time between the escape and leaving for the hills is almost lost in limbo, her memory not serving her very well on this subject. She was primarily self-sustaining, relying of downed corpses from other animals, or even venturing into mountain villages for a quick bite. Even if friendly humans offered her homes, May tended to stay at a distance from man, only remembering them as an object of abuse. Yes, she was well feed and cared for back at the fighting ring, but her treatment solely depended on her performance that day. A larger meal came from the death of another dog, while mere morsels were given for a lighter performance, along with a short beating. Nothing could ever draw her back in to possibly becoming a pet. As time went by, May became more accustom to being a more solitary animal, learning to prefect her hunting, but found herself with two new companions, Kenji and Ivan. Her dedication to these two eventually evolved into a strong pack unit between the three, helping the young leader become proficient in his fighting and conquering abilities.
