May is now thirteen! SHE HAS FINALLY REACHED PUBERTY. Her skin is still flawless because she's a princess, but she's shot up by about a foot. Still shorter than Kaoru but not by much, and she'll catch up to him soon enough. Also, I've retroactively canon-updated her to the end of the series (the in-universe explanation being that MM took away those memories and she regained them a little while after they broke out). So she knows that even though she isn't home, her clan will be all right because Ling Yao has promised to take care of them, which makes her a lot more dedicated to their current cause instead of frantically trying to find a way back.

As far as the resistance goes, she's pretty much indispensable as a skilled combatant/medic/supplies and weapons maker/scientist. As long as she knows what it's composed of or how it functions, her alkahestry can make pretty much anything, so Kanaya and Stiles don't have to worry about running out of blood or Ritalin respectively. She's actually become less ruthless in these three years, having matured more and seeing the world in more shades than black and white. Which isn't to say that she won't take a fucker out if they're attacking her friends, but she'll speak up if she thinks a plan is too ruthless, though she'll bow to either Susan's or Gundam's judgment in the end. After what happened with Kaoru, she's learned to accept her natural sense of selflessness as a virtue instead of something that's holding her back from doing whatever's necessary to attain her goal.

She's also less gullible and less prone to bouts of fantasy. She's learned enough by now to usually know when Gundam or Rapture are lying about their arcane abilities, though she'll pretend to believe them to make them feel better. And she can still be tricked by a really good story. While she's still a romantic and daydreams about finding a perfect prince, she's stopped projecting her fantasies into reality. One day she will find a copy of Twilight.

Relationships wise, she still idolizes Susan and Gundam, and she's very close to Sonia. She's also on good terms with Beat, Anastasia, and Rapture. Still doesn't really care about the countries because fuck immortals, but she's probably friendlier with Spain because he's kind of a big kid himself. Her relationship with Kaoru is...complicated. It took her a while to begin trusting him again and forgive him for taking advantage of her trust, but eventually she realized she would much rather be friends with someone real and flawed than someone perfect and fake. So she spends a lot of time talking to him and trying to understand him more and get him to understand her perspective more as well. SHE CAN CHANGE HIM WITH THE POWER OF LOOOOOVE. (It's possible that deep down in her secretest of hearts, she still doki-dokis over him a little. She knows it's never going to happen and really shouldn't happen, but she's still going to be watching Craven Castle and Chizuru with a very sharp eye. DON'T YOU DARE PLAY WITH HER MAIDEN HEART AGAIN KAORU.)

You've done your Auntie Rapture well, May.....

[souredsweet]

oh my god may sTOP GROWING YOU STOP GROWING RIGHT NOW... KAORU NEEDS TO BE TALLER THAN SOMEONE IN THE RESISTANCE!!!

the secret dokis tho

[pandacea]

SORRY KAORU BUT MAY CANONICALLY GROWS UP TO BE OF AVERAGE HEIGHT (AND ALSO A SUPER CUTIE)

though actually I think Winry's around 5'2" so...maybe not.......

[souredsweet]

HAHAHA watch as they end up at the exact same height...

[pasodoble]

Whispers, Spain likes to regularly check on May's growth and always brags that soon she'll be as tall as Kaoru.

Also he totally plays around with her for fun and if she lets him, he'll spoil her like the princess she is.

[pandacea]

NOOOO THAT'S SO CUTE and what a guaranteed way to get into her heart yes she will not remain a midget forever watch out Kaoru

and she will totally let him spoil her baaaw. May is a super poor princess who has never been spoiled in her life HER CLAN LET A TEN YEAR OLD GIRL CROSS A DESERT BY HERSELF so she will for sure appreciate this even though she will still see herself as more competent than Spain and try to shove him out of the way any time danger happens. But this goes for absolutely everyone except for Susan tbh because May has kind of an inflated sense of how good she is at fighting...

but yes I want Spain carrying her around on his shoulders all the time. especially when it's snowing because she's too close to the ground, she'll freeze!!

[pasodoble]

No... he'd spoil her so much then. Actual flower crowns and fixing her hair because he can actually braid hair really nicely since I see him having a lot of daughter colonies. Steals a cute hair pin or some little present whenever he comes back from a mission.

He doesn't want her to fight because she'll always be a little kid to him but after a few tight spots and rough fights, he's kind of given up and at the very least insists on fighting with her so he can have her back.

He'll carry her and pretend he isn't cold at all.
