RNGR May

May, Ranger of the Shining Force

May, Bow Knight of the Shining Force

Name: May
Japanese: Machiruda (Trans: Matilda)
Race: Centaur
Class: Ranger (RNGR)
Promotion: Bow Knight (BWNT)

After you've landed on Parmecia and fought the battle at North Cliff, you will be sent out to make allies and trading partners. You'll find yourself in the Town of Ribble, and once the people there realise you're not going to hurt them, they'll all come out of hiding and you'll be free to go around the town. Just south of the church you'll find May the Ranger who is willing to join the Force.

May's Headquarters Quote:
"I'm a centaur, but I can use a bow and arrows!"

The graphs below show the growth rate of May's statistics throughout the game, starting at level 1 (level 1 stats are based on growth rate if the character joined at any other level). These are adapted from the ASCII/Famitsu Shining Force II Guide Book, and so should be pretty accurate! However, please note that the charts are based on a standard game, in which no extra training is given to any characters. The growth may vary with extra training, and even from game to game, due to the random level-ups.
