May Weaver

May Weaver is a peasant of Stewton, daughter of John Shepherd. She lives with her family on the hill next to town, where they tend to a few sheep and make a living weaving cloth from the wool. May has lived in Stewton practically all her life.

As a younger woman with above average looks, she gained the attention of many suitors until her father put a stop to it (after an event that almost ruined his daughters reputation) and kept her in the house most of the time unless under supervision.

Recent History
Recently, hard times have fallen upon the Shepherd household with first the father, than the two youngest children and their mother contracting a strange 'gold sickness' that was slowly turning them to gold.

Their condition continued to worsen, and after the disappearance of the second eldest, Gavin, May decided to take matters into her own hands. Seeking to save her family by burning the witch that caused this sickness in the first place, the town herbalist. After inciting the town into a mob and burning the 'witch' May returned home to find her family much as she had left them. Scared and grief stricken, May left Stewton with Garen Warwick and his friends in hopes of finding Gavin, Garen's lost brother, and a home for the newly orphaned child they were carrying with them.
