PERSONALITY ✶ A soul worth knowing better Mei is a free spirit. Ever since she was a little girl, she has always been of a cheerful nature with a very positive outlook on life. Incessantly optimistic she lives life with a vivacious attitude and a generally fun-loving personality. Her heart on her sleeve, she dislikes hiding how she feels and will be supportive whenever someone dear to her needs a shoulder or just someone to talk to. Her friendliness tends to draw people to her, and she surrounds herself with many of these friends with the hope that they will stick around. Sometimes a little too talkative there are only a few people who have a true sense of belonging in her life and they are ones she can be quite clingy towards, occasionally acting rather possessive when it seems like others are taking them away. For the most part she is very agreeable and compliant though this in itself can be problematic as she tends to be somewhat overly trusting of people to begin with. She is baited into a false sense of security easily, and her gullible nature means it's not particularly hard to talk her into being your friend. When things get rough or at all beyond the point of friendly, Mei tends to suffer by becoming very easily flustered, this can be both in times of need as well as interacting with people she particularly admires. She always needs to be out and about, quite a busy young girl. She doesn't really think to stop and smell the Roselia much of the time. Her fliratious attitude towards new people is often what draws them to her. She's very handsy and thrives on touch as if it is her lifeline. Once she has her sights set on people in her intimate circle of friends, they'll find that the lovable young adult won't stop wanting to hold hands, cuddle or even sit on their laps so as to be close. Her awkward habit of needing to be close means she has occassionally crosses boundaries with some and has grated on more than a few nerves in her time. She really is a kind soul, however, and the good in the world is something she lives to see thrive. Having been a heroine in the past, she can often act rashly in a situation that most probably wouldn't. She leaps in head first and then her naivete gets her into sticky situations. She doesn't mean to get so caught up, but her nature begs for her to act in some situations. Overall, the playful, sweet girl is one who lives for her friends and her world, and likes to see the good in everything. Even when things go bad, she'll always be Mei. ✶ Warm feelings, warm hearts. Mei loves training her Pokemon. She doesn't necessarily battle as much as she once did, but having obtained badges in Unova and some in Johto means friendly competition is high on her list. She thrives in summer the warmer weather and sunshine her favourite time of year. Her chatting can grind on some, but she won't stop none the less. Mei loves the ocean, having been excited by every trip she and her friends made to the sea as children, in fact, she enjoys swimming anywhere she can. Lakes, ponds, whever she can strip down to her bathing suit and dive in. Like many eighteen year old girls, Mei can be a bit boy crazy, though there is one in particular she has a fondness for - other than the idols she stares at longingly on stage. Like any good trainer, the teen absolutely loves pokemon and treats them like family. ✶ Bitter like the cold. When the cold weather hits and winter has fallen, you'll find Mei is at her least happy. She struggles and shivers as soon as there's a chill in the air, and will almost always be wrapped up in a coccoon of her sleeping bag or blankets. Gossips tend to get her down, and her name having been recognised once or twice leads to the occasional whisper behind a hand. Her sometimes vague nature means she loses things which she absolutely abhors, but can't seem to change about herself. Mei struggles with the idea of being alone and it tends to be one of the only things that can reduce her mood to one of confusion and sadness. She hates it more than anything, and tries to surround herself always with people. ✶ There are things to do. Considering the task that was entrusted to her, Mei wants to locate and register all pokemon on her dex. Although she knows one of her seniors has done so already, she would love to have been the second person to have completed a Pokedex. She hopes some day to evolve of her pokemon of which her task is almost complete. Having come from a happy home, Mei too hopes to settle down and start a family before she grows too old to have children. She likes the idea of being a mother, as hers is someone she admires very much. Mei's lifelong goals are to overcome the knights at any cost, something she hopes to acheive with the help of her friends, and to eventually become a gym leader like Cheren, who she has a deep level of admiration for. ✶ And things that I can't. Since her horrifying ordeal with the Knights, Mei has become rather afraid of enclosed spaces and being locked up. Kept behind bars in a little cell, she realised that she was pretty much trapped. It also made her fear of the dark a hundred times worse than it had ever been previously. She needs a window open (or to sleep outside) and the moon for her to sleep. She also makes certain to take plenty of naps now that sleeping in the absolute dark tends to freak her out. She has always had a fear of flying, though it is only minor and mostly from bird pokemon but she doesn't dislike them anywhere near as much as she does bug pokemon. She screams and climbs onto the nearest person whenever a bug gets anywhere near her. Last but not least, the image that haunts her nightmares is of her friends being hurt or worse, because she knows the world is a dangerous place. ✶ The secrets I keep hidden. Mei has been almost wholeheartedly in love with her lifelong best friend since her early teens and despite what she thinks may be signs of him reciprocating she is still very nervous about telling him so. Her recently developed fears she keeps well under wraps - as well as she can - because she doesn't want the people she loves to worry about her considering she was already the cause of their anguish when she was captive. She's secretly habouring her friend Tenma from the public eye to keep his own secret. She's struggling to keep that one one the down low. | ||||||||
HISTORY Once upon a time in Castelia City, there was a couple. Both of these people were trainers part time, shared equally with their time in the business world. They were happily married and enjoyed their lives together for a great number of years until one day, when they were least expecting it, the lady fell pregnant. She was older than most mothers, and the pair knew they would have to move somewhere a little less hussle and bustle for fear that she would fall ill during the pregnancy. They moved away from the city into Flocessy Town, enjoying the quiet, ranch-like feel as a change of pace. It was there that they gave birth to a little girl who they named Yuuki Mei, a family name that many of her female cousins also possessed. When she was three, and tired of hearing "Yuuki" called, responding but being wrong, she decided to go by Mei, only answering when her family used her middle name. Mei was always a happy child, doing what she loved with the pokemon she grew up with. Her mother and father made sure she was surrounded by a group of pokemon as a child, a growlithe and an eevee her two closest companions. They did everything together, and the little girl grew up knowing love. When she was five, the group moved into Aspertia City, where they made friends with the other young families who lived there. It was only a few years later that disaster struck, and Team Plasma invaded their homes. Hyu, one of the boys, was the most affected, his little sister having her precious Purrloin stolen from her. It seemed all would be fine, as Black, White and their friends defeated Team Plasma, but that was not meant to be. When she was thirteen, Mei set out on her pokemon adventure. She and two of her closest friends were gifted by Professor Juniper with starter pokemon as well as the mysterious devices known as pokedexes. She, Kyouhei and Hugh all worked together to learn to defeat the gyms and take out the suddenly returned Team Plasma. The group were close and focused, wanting the same fate of the heroes before them. Eventually, Ghestis was once more overthrown, and she went back to training her pokemon. One afternoon when she was relaxing in Petalburg City, a strange man came across her and challenged her to a battle. Believing it would be an easy win, she chose to face him and was saddened when she lost. But that was not the only loss she was to have that day. Instead, the man claimed he would be taking the pokemon he had defeated. He bound her hands using his Bulbasaur as he took the pokeballs from her belt. Her Clefable, her Solosis and her Lilligant were all taken. Devastated, she headed back to her hometown in order to capture some new pokemon to add to her team, swearing that she would return her pokemon from the nasty man who had taken them from her. It is only now, with rumours of a new team, that she focuses on the possibility that it was they who took her companions. Her bubbly, lovable nature still in tact despite it all, she is determined to fix the wrongs that have been done before something bad could happen to them. | ||||||||
OTHER ✶ Mei was captured by the Knights briefly before they had exposed themselves and their goals. Hugh saved her, but it has left her with a fear of being underground, in enclosed spaces and in the dark. Though she has finally recovered physically from the starvation and beatings, she still has fears of being recaptured. ✶ Three of Mei's original team were stolen from her by a Pokethief. She is desperate to find them once more, but has grown attached to the Pokemon who replaced them afterwards too. ✶ Mei goes by her middle name because three other girls in her family go by the name Yuuki - it is a family one, and she wanted to stand out amongst them when she was making a name from herself. Mei suits her more too, because she finds it cute. Her mother, however, still calls her Yuuki when she is in trouble. ✶ Mei is physically very clingy. She oftentimes finds herself attached to her friends and family by means of touch. She can pet and hug all day without feeling like she is overdoing it, so sometimes she needs to be told. ✶ If you tell Mei something even in jest, she's likely to fall for it. She is incredibly gullible and will believe anything her friends tell her. | ||||||||
