Demonic Spiral - A tiny defense of May Wong from Kaleido Star.
I found this in a certain fanfic community. Wow, what a lovely request.
Leon discovers he has deeper feeling for Sora who is already smitten by the 'God of Death.' Nasty May Wong gets dumped as his partner and out for revenge plots devious ways to interfere with their budding relationship.
No. Just... NO. If you didn't intend this as slapstick comedy a la chibi episodes of TeniPuri, NO!
May Wong starts as childish, selfish, possessive of Leon and IS jealous of Sora. I won'r deny that. But guess what? She *matures*. She has a rather rude awakening after Leon stops supporting her onstage *by deliberately dropping her off during their act and injuring her arm*, comes to understand the situation better, wins respect for Sora (IIRC May even slaps Sora at some point when she's acting flaky), and later works hard to overcome her flaws with the help of Sora's ex-partner Layla Hamilton. And guess what? She drops both tecnical and character flaws; therefore, she GROWS UP.
So, while May isn't a pure little angel, she's far from a demon, and it makes me sad to see her bashed. Specially by Sora/Leon fans. Don't start shipping wars in a fandom that's so small but peaceful, please! And where are the Sora/Rosetta/Ken OT3, Sarah/Kalos and/or Mia/Anna fans?! I wanna find you, people! Grrrr.
And if, on top of it, someone accuses Sora of being a Mary Sue... well, watch the show again and STFU. D<
See you!
