May was the daughter of Lily Sunder.
Background
Born sometime before the 20th century, May was Lily Sunder's daughter when she was still a professor of apocalyptic lore. Lily's studies had led her to summon the angel Ishim, who developed an obsessive passion for her.
Lily realized this angel was the equivalent of a monster, and chose to cut all ties with him. When Lily married Akobel, a jealous and enraged Ishim tricked his garrison into believing that Akobel had broken the rules by fathering a Nephilim. Akobel was executed, while May was murdered by Ishim in retaliation for her mother's marriage to Akobel.

The other angels never found out that the child was a normal human, or that Akobel's charges were based on Ishim's jealousy. In 2017, Lily sought revenge for the murder of her daughter and husband, killing Benjamin, Mirabel and two unnamed angels who took part in the murders. When she attempted to kill Ishim and Castiel, the only two angels remaining, Lily came into conflict with the Winchesters and explained the truth to them. Believing her story, the Winchesters aided Lily in getting revenge against Ishim. Ultimately, Ishim was killed by Castiel, the last of the angels who took part in May and Akobel's murders. Afterwards, Lily told the Winchesters she wasn't sure if she could give up on revenge as it was all she'd had for over a hundred years, leading Castiel to apologize for his role in May and Akobel's deaths. Castiel promised that if Lily couldn't find it in her to forgive him, she could return at a later date to get her revenge.
