May

Template:Main Game Character

May (ハルカ Haruka) is the female protagonist of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. If she is not selected as the player, she is the player's rival.

The Generation III games deviated from the tradition of naming characters as their respective games, such as Red from Generation I and Generation II games. As such, May's counterparts include May from the anime and Sapphire from the Pokémon Adventures manga.

Appearance

Her hair is brown, with long pigtails and short bangs falling on her forehead. Her eyes are blue (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald) or grey (Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire). Her outfit varies with each game.

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, she wears a red shirt with blue collar, a white skirt with black bike shorts, red and yellow shoes, black and white gloves, a red and white headscarf and a yellow fanny pack.

In Emerald, she wears an orange and white shirt with black collar and black shorts, white and orange shoes, black and white gloves, a green scarf and a green fanny pack.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, she wears an orange and black shirt, white short shorts with black bike shorts underneath, yellow and black boots, a red and white headscarf and the Mega Bangle on the left wrist.
