May Miller is a major recurring character in Touch of Magic. She is a vampire and leader of The Millers who she uses to advance her antagonist agenda. May is highly intelligent with a strong survival instinct and she is very charismatic and persuasive, which has helped her in her ambition to dominate the land west of the Mississippi river in vampire political territory.
Specifically when Alyssa Miller first describes her, she is known as strategic and calculated, and will often consider if a risk is worth it based on what she alone gains or loses from the situation. May is often called selfish, and Alyssa mentions the only reason she has not yet broken ties with May yet is out of self-preservation. The mutual history that Jason Dawson and Alyssa have with May is eventually something that comes in between their friendship with Seth Dawson.
While still remaining a mysterious entity, we learn that May is cooperative when it comes to territorial matters and she is on a first-name basis with James as they both control big parts of land on the American continent. May warns James not to get any ideas over in Waterfall Creek, hinting that she is well informed about the actions and the growing alliance. She eventually sends Alyssa to deal with the situation in Portland.
is the type of person to hold lifelong grudges, and she often takes revenge on people decades after their betrayal. May has managed to kill several of the very first vampires, and is arguably one of the most dangerous vampires in the world.
Life[]
Mashenka Ashran[]
She escaped sexual slavery at the age of 13, before living on the streets for five years in 16th century Kyiv. She was then taken in by a man, who later turned out to be a member of the First Coven. After trying to escape she is turned into a vampire, with her only source of blood being provided by her captor. He tells her the despair is exactly how it felt to be one of the first vampires, cursed by the witches. May learns about vampire politics from him, and rations her blood. When he comes home with another woman, Grace, May finds out she is not his only victim. She consumes her rations all in one day in order to gain more strength to break free. She kills her captor, thanking him for everything he had taught her and offers Grace to join her. May teaches Grace the ropes about being a vampire, and they travel from town to town together.
May goes to investigate on the members of the First Coven from a distance, and observes their military strategy. At some point in this period her ambition grows to control a powerful military herself. She realizes such a thing is never possible without being noticed by the First Coven or their enforcers, The Anconi. May and Grace stay under the radar, always on the move, while she absorbs knowledge. Along with her sister, May often works at pleasure houses during this time, to reclaim her sexuality and to assasinate abusive men. May has a very misandrist mindset during the 17th and 18th century but she realizes her sister and her depend on the men to provide them with accomodation and basic food, as seducing men is their main and preferred way to feed.
Eventually May forces the choice on her sister to choose between a man she fell in love with and their bond together. After 80 years together, Grace chooses to stay with her sister and executes the man because he overheard their entire conversation and is a liability. May tells her sister never to trust men unless you can make sure you've reached them before the core has rotten. May favors younger men to keep her company because they worship her. She gets very consumed by this idea of loyalty, and her ambitions to create her own vampire army arise again.
Eventually May gets to accomplish this ambition once migration to the United States gets popularized. She relocates and uses the practical distance to her advantage, early on establishing a group of a dozen loyal followers who she promises will be part of
She was the former lover of Jason and the mother of two daughters , Alyssa and Jade , with his brother Jared. She has one half-sister named Grace.
May is part of the Millers as she is the founder of them. She is slightly part of The Carrington Family as she is the mate of Jared Carrington and the mother of his daughter Alyssa. She is descendant from The Ashran Family, a wealthy oligarch family. May had influences in the Hainasoni tribe and has influence in the council of the Anconi, because she gave them one of her daughters.
Life[]
Mashenka AshranMay was born somewhere in the 14th century near Kiev as Mashenka Ashran. When she was just an infant her mother , who was only 19 at the time , fled away to the with her because May's father wanted to assasinate both of them. She travelled from Kiev to Budapest and so on to the region of Venice. Arriving in Italy , May's mother found help with local farmers and fell in love with their son. They were safe and healthy for a while. But soon , May's mother got pregnant and they had to move to the barns due to a lack of space. A few months after the birth of May's half-sister Grace the plague set in and killed her recovering mother and her boyfriend. As a miracle , May and her younger sister were saved by a doctor. He took them in and they were raised by him for a little while to get healthy again. After that , he took them to an orphanage. May lived there from the age of 5 untill she was to old. When she was forced out she offered to stay and become a nurse , so that she would be able to stay with her sister. When Grace was too old , she became a nurse too. May MillerWhen she was 26 , the orphanage/hospital was raged by vampires. May and Grace were both bitten and turned. However , their creator separated them sending them off to different places and took away their memories. When May woke up , she suffered from amnesia and the only identity she had was a name tag saying 'Ma' , so she named herself May from then on. After years passing she started to remember bits and pieces and remembered the farmers , the Milano's , where she used to live. That's when she turned her name into May Miller. The years following she spent trying to discover her new nature of being a vampire. She quickly got it under control when she found the satisfaction of human blood. As one of the few vampires however , she learned not to splurge on it , and she became stronger instead of taking a lot of risks and get killed off eventually. She decided to use her knowlegde to help others. She found many vampires left from what used to be a big vampire-group that tormented Europe's countryside for centuries. She teached them how to control being a vampire. One day , she also met Grace. They reunited and began to expand their followers and soon the group became a strong force. When the transatlantic travel from Europe to the New World emerged , May took that opportunity and went overseas to find new blood. Literally. May and Grace were one of the early vampires in the New World , and dominated the southern West-Coast. Soon , the Millers put up a headquarters in Coral Gables , Florida. The number of members grew and May took a new approach : She decided to recrute human possible candidates and train them , in orde to make sure they were as strong as possible before transition , to make them even stronger vampires. This became an elite groupe. But she also still recruited vampires who were lost , wondering around. But she never turned them herself. Usually it was Thomas , who turned people. |
Personality[]
May's personality is very much that of a sociopath. She is driven by rage and revenge for the people who left her to die. This includes both her parents, as well as her lovers Jason and Jared.
In an extent to Jason's hate, she also dispises the Dawsons and the Silverstones, for having more power of her. This shows her self-centered nature. She will focus mostly on herself during combat, never assuring the safety of others. She will not doubt to kill if it endangers her.
On a remarkable note she is shown to care for Jared as the father of her children, repeatedly requesting him to forgive her. He seems to be the only person she seems caring towards, aside from momentarly love for her eldest daughter Alyssa. May also tolerates her sister Grace, but only because Grace killed her parents, earning the respect of her sister. This shows she is capable of love to a certain extent.
