Character Name: May Parker
Series: MCU
Character History: https://marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/May_Parker

May arrived on the Void Trecker just after Peter was outed as Spiderman to the entirty of NYC (oh noes!). She found Peter and Tony on the train much to her delight and confusion. They both came from before her. She had to tell Tony how he died but he wasn't surprised. She did a few missions but mostly stayed on the train and mum'd people. She tried cooking but managed to burn the cheese and catch the oven on fire. She flirted a lot with Tony and made Peter awkward. That was fun (and funny) but she promised Peter she would behave (sadness) because it made him uncomfortable. She and Tony grounded Peter a lot. There were a lot of heart ache between the dreams that were forced upon them and the talk about Peter blaming himself for Ben's death but all three of them are a lot closer than they used to be.

Personality: May Parker has seen a lot in her life, both good and bad. Despite that she is still very much a glass half full kind of person. While she can admit that the world isn't a perfect place, she still wants to see the best in everyone. At the same time, caring so much for those in her life means she wants to protect them and keep them living the ~good life~ one not involved with crime etc. It took some time for her therefore to come around to her nephew being Spiderman and while she would very much like him to stay safe and protected she also knows there's nothing she can do to stop him and it's better to support him in his endeavours than to have him constantly sneaking out and getting in trouble without her knowing so. Plus, she can ensure he is properly trained.

That doesn't mean she doesn't constantly worry about him though. The events of Europe show that no matter what she does he's going to constantly be a magnet for trouble and she knows at some point he isn't going to be lucky. That he might not come home and this often keeps her up at night. Peter as Spiderman isn't the only thing she worries about though, she worries about money, his happiness, his friends, his classes etc. She just wants everything to be perfect and happy for him.

May, has been a 'single mum' to her nephew for many years, so it isn't a surprise that he means the world to her. She is incredibly loyal and wants the best in life for him. Being a 'single mum' to him though means she has often had to put in long hours at work, therefore having to rely on other people to look after Peter before and after school and on the weekends when she's had to take shifts at the hospital. Still she does it because she doesn't want them lacking in anyway.

May has always been a bit of a bookworm and loves collecting novels even if it might take her awhile to read them. That meme about book collecting and reading books being two different hobbies? So true. She does try to read as much as she can but sometimes life gets in the way though. She'll read just about anything though from romance to crime to science fiction and nonfiction. She might not always understand what she is reading but it's a way to push herself and learn new things which she enjoys.

May's desire to help people goes beyond work at the hospital and supporting Peter, she's involved in numerous charities and volunteer opportunities in and around the city.

Despite everything she does to stay busy, May is lonely. She has her nephew and to extent Happy but she has spent so long just fighting for herself and her nephew that until Happy came into her life she forgot what it was like to have something for her.

Once she gets an idea into her head, it isn't surprising, especially if you look at what she's done for Peter over the years, that she can be incredibly stubborn. It's hard for her to admit that she might be wrong or change her mind. Still she tries to think of all possibilities but she would prefer to be overly cautious and safe than not.

CRAU: She's a lot closer to Tony than she was in their world (though they were close in the MCU) and she and Peter have cleared a lot of air between them though they were super close before hand as well.
Abilities: able to keep conversation going well, has a good sense of intuition or well worry I mean why else would she make Peter take his Spiderman suit with him? Buying take out. Is a total pro at ordering take out

Six Items: Her wedding ring from her marriage to Ben
A photo album of the three of them
The graduation photo of Peter + Tony
Her book of take away numbers
A box of her favourite tea
Her first aide kit
