Tropes exhibited by May include:

  • Brutal Honesty: Has even less of a thoughts-to-words filter than Layla.
  • Child Prodigy: Subverted. May was an ice skating prodigy as a little girl, as revealed by her coach Meredith, but ultimately decided to ditch skating (thought she still skates once in a while) to focus solely on the Kaleido Stage.
  • Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Her Berserk Button.
  • Hot-Blooded
  • Jerkass: At first.
  • The Lancer: To Sora in second season.

  • Spoiled Brat: Until she gets better.
  • Supreme Chef: As long as it's Chinese.
  • Tsundere: Extremely tsuntsun, switches to deredere as she develops.
