[Character Name] May Chang ; though it can also be spelt 'Mei Chang'. Honestly, I'll take either one. I've put 'May' on all her applications etc etc, as I'm more familiar with it. If you're more familiar with 'Mei', than go ahead and use that. No harm done or anything, and I'll follow your lead~
[Canon] Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood / Manga ; for different scenes I'll be going with the manga version.
[Point Taken from Canon] Brotherhood episode 30 'The Ishvalan War of Extermination' / Manga Chapter 62 'Beyond the Dream'. After meeting up with Scar, but before arriving at the train station.
[Age] Thirteen ; estimated. Her age isn't mentioned in the anime or the manga, but thirteen seems to be the appropriate age to put her at.
[Gender] Female
[Sexual Orientation] Heterosexual
[Eye Color] Dark Blue
[Hair Color] Black
[Height] 4'6 ; estimated. Once again, I don't recall anything official listing her height. But she's shorter than Edward, whom with his boots on is about 5'3. Also, 4'6 is a good height for flexibility (something May is highly good at).
[Other] Nope, but if anyone has any questions would be like more of an explanation on her age or height, please don't be afraid to ask.

Here's a link guys
[Personality]
From the moment that she appears (other than that small cameo), May is shown to be quite the determined person, as she accomplished crossing the desert that separated two countries in search of immortality. Once she's motivated, she's the type that will put her all into it. Whether it to be to help her Clan or simply find the 'man of her dreams'. It's also highly unlikely that she'll just get up and quit; sticking it out until the end. Or rather until she comes to some type of verdict, a example being when she gave up on Edward after learning how he actually was. This doesn't mean that she won't get distracted from her original intentions, still multitasking doesn't seem to offer much of a problem. She was able to continue her search for immortality, look for Edward, and help Scar without leaving one of them behind in the dust. You can say that she's able to 'keep her eye on multiple prizes'. Still, despite how important her goals are, she knows when to quit. Whether it be to help someone else or because it's a lost cause.
Speaking of helping others, May isn't the type of person who could leave someone who needs it. It isn't in her to turn away from helping someone. Just as in the case of Xiao Mei. When she found the abandoned panda in desperate need of care and took her in; even after Xiao Mei bit her. Though this was because she felt a connection with the abandoned panda. May is also the type of person that you can count on for repaying a dept. Helping repair a cave-in or healing a wound in payment of someone helping her by giving her food after she fainted. Also, she may not go away until she does this. Sitting there with Yoki until Scar came back in order to repay him in some way. It's also shown that May prefers not to stay in-dept to someone for too long, leaving a doctor's home after one night of him treating her. Also so that she won't cause any more trouble with him by fighting with another patient.
This helps prove that May really is a nice girl, despite her moments of anger. She'd rather not get into a unnecessary fight unless she has a reason. That reason being that you 'hurt' her in some way, such as playing with her heart. Even if you don't mean too. She won't actually fight you though, more send out a attack in a 'fit of anger/sadness'. Another reason that she'd fight with you is if you can be classified as her enemy. Nonetheless, May is a sweet, kind girl to many people that she meets. Not only that, but she also has a keen ability to be able to see the goodness and kindness in others. Managing to befriend and find companionship in a gruff, dark man who has killed others before. Claiming him to be a nice man when told that he's dangerous. She isn't exactly someone who'll judge someone by how they look. Nor does May seem to be phased when someone is rude to her, still sticking around after being Scar told to 'go away' after just meeting her.
Don't get her wrong, she does have her flaws. One of them being that she can slightly over-exaggerate who someone is when being told about them, than get upset about it later. Basically, it's best to meet her yourself and not have someone tell her about you.
In other terms, May has a slightly over-active imagination. A great example of this would be that she formed a prince-like version of Ed in her mind after being told that he helped several people along with a few other traits. Another example being that she formed a monster version of Al after realizing that Xiao Mei ended up with him, claiming him to be a kidnapper. (There's also a odd, short figure with a stick of blonde hair that can be inferred as Ed.) Based on what she hears or sees, her vision of you can either be positive or negative. Of course, this is before she actually meets you. Once she does, all of this can be cleared up. It isn't just people that she over-exaggerates though, also doing so with the possible scenarios that could take place with her 'prince.' Another example would be when she begins to cry after finding Winry in Al's armor, acting as if he was cheating on her. (Though they were never dating.) You can say that she has slight drama queen qualities, often over-dramatizing normal scenarios or explanations.
Unless her enemy, May is a friendly, formal girl. The formality most likely coming from that she's both one of the many children of the Emperor of Xing along with the Chief of her Clan's daughter. Addressing her name with a slightly bow when meeting someone under good, normal-like circumstances. Even in face of an enemy she can take the time to tell who she is. Also referring to people's name with politeness. Not only that, but she is also founded to be quite trustworthy. Gaining Scar's trust after only knowing him for a short amount of time to go find his brother's book with a 'prisoner'. This can also be taken that she's loyal, heading out to find her companion in order to make sure that he's alright.
May, does however, have plenty of weaknesses. Such as child-like nativity, getting tricked by Envy to go back to Central after meeting people that have helped her before. This can also be taken as that she can easily be manipulated by others with the right motivation. And while she's a good fighter, May is still only human. Not being have to take head-on blows without suffering much damage, to the point where it could knock her out. Though she was also fighting many monsters beforehand. Still, May is a brave person. Taking on people much stronger than her with confident in order to achieve her goals.
In conclusion, May is a nice, friendly character. Though she may sometimes act like a child, she also has her moments of maturity. Good at figuring things out with slight jogging of words and being quite smart in general. Knowing when to abandon a fight or to stay and fight, also taking a opportunity to get a step ahead of a enemy. Though this doesn't mean that she's not a fair fighter, rather that she's not above a sneak attack or eavesdropping. She'd also rather help than harm. May also shows herself to be child-like in the sense that she doesn't find how she's feeling. Rather, she's very open about it and a bit outspoken in general. Nor does she try to ease her way around things, being a bit more on the blunt side. Still, unless you give her a reason not to be; you can expect her to be friendly and make a friend out of her. After all, you can have fun trying to scare her off with frowns and harsh words. For the most part, they go over her head.
[Specialties/Abilities]
alkahestry ;; Clear wiki Definition here.
Alkahestry in Somarium will mostly be the same, using the energy that flows and circulates around the world. Though it probably won't be the same as life energy. She'll still be able to transmute from a distance using this energy. May creates a alkahestry circle by drawing a circle than tossing her kunais onto the points of it. For long distance alkahestry, it's close to same process except she also tosses kunais onto her distanced target. Healing alkahestry is mostly the same thing, only being able to heal where life energy is still circulating. Somarium shouldn't have much of a effect on this, as it uses the energy that circulates throughout ones body to heal open wounds. Which is basically all that healing alkahestry can do.
martial arts ;; Both May and Xiao-Mei were trained on how to do martial arts as they grew up. Allowing her to be amazingly good at it, to where she can take on several enemies at once by herself. This also makes her very flexible as she is able to toss enemies aside with her feet and do back-flips, cartwheels, etc. She has good strength in her feet and body with this. This comes with the normal limits of her strength. May is mainly seen using her martial arts in more defensive offense than complete offense. With her martial arts, she also uses her ability to toss kunais usually resulting in her than using alkahestry.
other ;; Just as the others from Xing, May is also able to sense the 'chi' from within a person. This was used in Fullmetal Alchemist to tell the different between a Homunculi and a normal person, along with non-living objects with just a soul inside (coughalcough). She was also able to sense large portions of energy coming from a area, such as where Father laid. In Somarium, May will most likely be able to tell the different 'chis' that people have within themselves. Along with being able to 'sense' dream energy and it's counterpart nightmare energy. Dream energy will most likely feel to her as a normal energy, such as what normal people gave off in FMA, and nightmare energy will give her more the feeling that Father's energy gave off.
[Affection]
kissing ;; For anything more than a peck on the cheek, check or at least let me know first.
hugging ;; most definitely, she'll be doing quite a bit of it herself. Or at least glomping
etc ;; Mostly everything is alright, but if you're unsure than go ahead and ask~ But for the most part, anything more extreme than kissing should be asked and anything lower than it is fine.
[Fighting]
fighting ;; Go ahead and try~ She can defend herself well enough
injuries ;; um, sure? But if it's pretty extreme let me know first!
etc ;; That's all I can think of, but if know of something else than ask?
[Other Permissions]
telepathic ;; Yup! Go ahead~
fourth-wall ;; mmm, please don't.
[Other Facts] She has a vicious, adorable panda with her that's extremely over-protective with her.
