May

May (Ma/ra and Jo/y) is the friendship pairing of Mara Jaffray and Joy Mercer. Within season 1, we found out that the two were quite good friends, and Mara aided Patricia a lot of the time in her search for Joy. We know she was good friends with her when she's told a lie by Sibuna that Joy hates them and she looks quite dejected about it. In the bonus scene from the Secrets Within game, when Mick points out that Joy is at the prom, Mara looks over quite shocked, if not pleasantly surprised to see her. Mara and Joy are good friends, and in Season 2, they become roommates with Patricia since Joy had disappeared during season one. Joy and Mara's friendship is not often shown on screen, but is apparent when they do interact. Mara is concerned when Joy disappears, though not as outwardly as Patricia. Joy comforts Mara when Mara is upset about Mick leaving Anubis house. Mara and Joy seem to get along very well, and in saying such, start to become closer friends as Patricia starts hanging out with Sibuna more often and Mick is gone, although their relationship takes a turn for the worse when Joy poses as Jack Jackal, Mara's anonymous alias, in order to post a mean article about Nina on the school site. Despite this, when everyone tries to talk about Joy behind her back, Mara tells them to stop saying that she's not all bad. Both of them have similar interests, mainly journalism, and they spark up somewhat of a rivalry because of this.
