Melinda May

Melinda Qiaolian May nicknamed "The Cavalry". A veteran pilot and soldier with years of experience and a old friend Phil Coulson, she withdrew from field duty after an incident in Manama, Bahrain. She chose to return to the field when S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury asked to her to secretly assemble a team for Agent Coulson and to monitor his recovery process.

She helped the team stop John Garrett and went with the team to help rebuild S.H.I.E.L.D. under newly promoted Director Coulson, after America dismantled the original S.H.I.E.L.D.
