__________________In-Depth StuffPhysical DescriptionMei is a short girl, with long, stark white hair and warm brown skin. She tends to wear her hair up in a high, messy ponytail, usually held in place by ornate hair picks or covered with a bright head scarf, with side bangs that frame her face. Her eyes are a rich violet in color. She has a slender build and small breasts, and is on the soft rather than athletic side, as she's spent most of her time cloistered inside the library!
She has a number of piercings, with two hoops through the left side of her bottom lip, a hoop in her right nostril, a bridge piercing, two eyebrow piercings through her left eyebrow, and both ears pierced five times, including the tragus. Her navel is also pierced. She has an intricate series of tattoos covering both arms, depicting the fury of the ocean, and the faces of some local spirits.
She dresses in rich, colorful clothing, usually a pair of loose pants that cut off mid-shin, a bright sash, a simple shirt, and sandals.
PersonalityMei is
passionate about learning omg!Hungry for knowledge, Mei loves unusual things, and loves learning about people and new plants, animals, history...whatever! She absorbs that stuff like a sponge, and can be a bit of a walking encyclopedia of random trivia...which some people might find annoying. She also lacks boundaries when she gets excited, and has no problems interrogating someone about some subject she's interested in--whether they asked for the interrogation or not.
She can come across as rather intense, and though she means well, her passion can be a bit...
invasive. She's a very tactile, inquisitive person, but this can sometimes make people uncomfortable--and she's not always aware of the "do not want!" cues they're giving, as she tends to get absorbed in whatever has caught her attention.
Though incredibly book smart, Mei lacks worldly wisdom. While she has technical knowledge of a wide variety of subjects, she doesn't necessarily know how to apply it to the real world. Mei has a tendency to live in her own head, and can be easily distracted and spacy.
AbilitiesShe's smart! And that's about what she has going for her. Mei is not a fighter. At all. She's squishy.
RelationshipsOld friends with Yun Zhong.
HistoryPart of the Temple caste in Thanatos, Mei set out to explore the world in her quest for knowledge.
