zodiac signs: Western zodiac: Pisces - the fish.

These individuals are not only changeable and adaptable, they have open minds and tremendous understanding. Pisces may spend a good portion of their lives yearning for understanding, and the other part in a state of divine discontent. Suffering is sometimes glamorized in the Piscean world. A deep love for humanity, and compassion that knows no bounds is found withing Pisces people. Their sense of humor is delightfully silly and a bit odd. These are perceptive souls who seem to be in touch with all the nuances and subtleties of human nature. Often this comes through in a strong sense of humor that is more of the receptive kind than the type of sense of humor that would make people the "life of the party". It's generally pretty easy to get them giggling. They're generally lovely listeners and, when you get them talking, warm conversationalists.

history: May Fairfax was born in Cape Town, South Africa on March fourth to Emma and Neil Fairfax in New Somerset Hospital. She was born in the early afternoon, weighing eight pounds and seven ounces. She was fifty-two cm long. At her birth her parents, and grandmother were present.

May had a very happy early childhood. She had her three older siblings to play and adventure with her, and her little sister to nurture and help. In South Africa her parents owned a modest four bedroom house which backed onto a field, and also had a very large front lawn. She shared a bedroom with Florence, which was painted a daffodil yellow, with large windows and tons of sunlight. The five kids spent most of their time playing outside when not at school.

May had an easy time at school as far as academics went, though being rather impatient made her not easy to get along with. She didn't have many friends at school, and it never bothered her. She is very good at sciences and was always quite applauded on by her teacher and substitute teachers for being so academically focused. Throughout her elementary years she stayed in muggle school, until grade four. During the fourth grade May decided to be home-schooled so that she could advance into higher grades and work at her own pace.

When May was nine, her family decided to move to New Zealand. Her grandmother was getting sick, and so to help her grandparents the whole family moved to Palmerston North. Her parents found jobs quickly and they bought a large three bedroom apartment close to downtown. May decided she would go back to public school, and enrolled in the grade ahead. Four months later grandmother Nellie died. May's older sister Virginia didn't cope very well, she didn't eat, and she never left their room. This was the first time May saw what depression looked like. After the funeral, the Fairfaxs moved in with their grandfather into his old six bedroom house. May has lived there ever since.

May has made two very dear friends since moving to New Zealand. One, Willa Rogers, and Robbie Peterson. The three have been interpretable since her grandmother's death.

She has size five and a half feet and dainty looking hands. She has short, curly hair that is a dark chocolaty brown in colour. May has a nice oval shaped head accentuated b=with big caramel eyes and a cheery, pixie like mile.
style: May enjoys wearing rather cutesy clothing such as skirts with tights, and dresses with frilly ankle socks. She prefers clothing in white, pinks, and greens. Her favorite pattern is plaid, and she loves lace finishing. When going outside May would rather be wearing a hat.
