* TheSociopath: May accused April of being one over her cheerfully cavalier attitude towards Gwen Reilly's murder. She may not be too far off considering April is habitually bored by civilian life and constantly craves the stimulation of crime-fighting, has a ''very'' skewed moral compass, a general LackOfEmpathy, a fragile ego that doesn't forgive slights (real or imaginary), and doesn't really understand "love" beyond the concept of it. [[spoiler:It takes a BadFuture for her to really internalize the morals that May attempted to instill in her and make her HeroicSacrifice. [[RedemptionEqualsDeath Twice over]].]]
