May Parker (Aboodash56)

"I believe there’s a hero in all of us, that makes us honest, gives us strength, inspires us, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the things we want the most. Even our dreams."

- May Parker

May Parker (nee Reilly) is Peter Parker's aunt and legal guardian, and the wife of the late Ben Parker.

Early Life
As a girl, May Reilly was a wild child. Her family problems were presumably resolved over time, as she now has a good relationship with her mother, who moved to San Francisco. After marrying Ben Parker, May became close to her sister-in-law, Mary and her husband, Richard, and their son, Peter. When May was told that Mary, whom she considered her best friend, and her husband had died in a plane crash, May and Ben took Peter in and raised him as their son.

Appearance
May Reilly is a typical woman with an average height and build to her petite frame. Her eye color is blue and during her youth, she had a ginger colored red hair. By 2010 onwards, her hair is more of a brownish color that has begun to turn gray at the roots.
