>>57774716Yeah basically. There's actually a lot of different Pokemon manga and multiple different manga Mays (see this chart
>>57767792 for some of them). But the most popular manga is Pokemon Special (Japanese title)/Pokemon Adventures (English title), and the May in this series is named Sapphire. All the main characters in this series (Pokedex holders) are named after the main Pokemon games, so in this universe Kris is actually named "Crystal" and Selene is named "Moon" and so on. All the main characters have a gimmick to make them unique, and they're also given a semi-official "title" to represent their gimmick (which aren't story important anymore, it's just a way to make the gimmicks look official desu). So Gold's the "Hatcher" and Crystal's the "Catcher" etc. Many of these titles have no official English translations, they're often fan translations from Japanese exclusive sources.
Anyway in my opinion, Sapphire's gimmick is "nature". As in being a nature expert. She's so knowledgable and in tune with nature that she can just live in the jungle alone Tarzan style and not die, in fact she thrives and gets animal superpowers and shit. Her dedication to nature ends up making her act like a retarded dog compared to normal people. But in the end she usually does the right thing and helps save the day, so ultimately nobody cares how weird she is.
(The only people who can't let go of the the dog thing are people obsessed with appearances over character. Like Ruby the vain contest boy, whose story parallels Sapphire's in the RS story arc.)
