MAY:

May had a very rough past and her family was very dysfunctional at the time she met Cal. Her mother left with her new boyfriend while her father was very rarely home. When he did get home, often he’s drunk and angry. But no matter how much she’s hurt, she kept her positivity and remained kind to everyone around her.

Cal was very cold to her at first and was even annoyed when she kept showing up almost every day in the red poppy garden where he wanted to be alone to find peace but slowly warmed up to her after a long period of time.

Unlike other humans who would scream and run away when they see Cal, she would instead approach him with no hesitation and with no visible fear. Despite him being a vampire, she never saw him as anything different. She would talk and interact with him normally.

She loved him very much as a friend as it’s the first time she had someone who would care for her like that. She even made him promised not to leave her side as she had trauma of people leaving her before including her own family who once left her to starve and die until he found her and saved her life. But that love eventually blossomed into romantic feelings for him after all the years they’ve been through together.

Her shiny pearl earrings were gifts from him and she treasures them very much. That’s why you’ve almost never seen her without her earrings.
