May is generally a very sweet and optimistic girl. She enjoys feminine and cute things as well as shopping. In fact, she and Brock occasionally went on shopping trips together throughout the ''Advanced Generation'' series. May cares about her appearance, sometimes spending so much time in front of this mirror that it caused her traveling companions to become frustrated with her, such as in ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]''. May also is interested in helping other people with their romantic problems. | May is generally a very sweet and optimistic girl. She enjoys feminine and cute things as well as shopping.

Though she is generally kind, she occasionally argues with her little brother, [[Max]]. The two had arguments since Max's debut episode, but one of their most notable was in ''[[AG081|Take This House and Shuppet]]''. May's harsh words to Max made him declare that he hated May and he ran away for a portion of the episode. Even though she had been angry, May quickly felt guilty for hurting Max's feelings and became very worried that he would be hurt on his own. In a later episode, May revealed that she had promised her mother to always take care of Max on their journey. So even though the siblings had many quarrels, May deeply cares for her brother and would go to great lengths to protect him. | Though she is generally kind, she occasionally argues with her little brother, [[Max]].

In ''[[ | In ''[[AG004|You Never Can Taillow]]'', May heard Brock used to act as a cook during Ash's journeys. As she, Max and Ash were hungry, she was the one who asked Brock if he could prepare some food for them. If a person or a Pokémon were to steal her food she would become extremely angry, which was demonstrated numerous times. Food was one of the few things May would become angry about, so it was an important tool to show a different side to her usually cheerful character. When May returned for the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, she expressed excitement over the chance to eat at the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]], but having her meal stolen made her enraged. She was later shown enjoying a large cookie, once again affirming her love of food and sweets. | ||

When May first left her home, she was only interested in the traveling aspect of a [[Pokémon journey]]. This sparked one of May's most memorable quirks in Hoenn, "May's Expeditions". Starting from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', May would occasionally make a camera lens with her fingers, pretending she was the host of a traveling show. | When May first left her home, she was only interested in the traveling aspect of a [[Pokémon journey]].
