Hailing from a family of Victorian detectives, Metis Geraldine was a rookie yet intrepid private detective who will never back down to solve a case, courtesy of her upbringing where she was exposed to her family's reputation and aspired to follow their footsteps. After solving a murder case with the help from Heidi Thompson, Metis went on great lengths to find out every nook and cranny about Emperor, which brings her into Rhodes Island who was partnering with Penguin Logistics at the time, claiming to be a "Royal Detective". Thanks to valuable misleading information from P.L. staff including Exusiai and Croissant, May concluded that P.L. is an idol group that provides delivery services in its spare time, especially apple pie distribution... yeah, right. Still, R.I. decides to keep Metis under their wing with the codename "May" because her inquisitive and dedicated nature, and surprisingly good marksmanship makes her a valuable asset.
