[cs=3] Personality
[cs=3] From all the years of living with her brother, watching him go in and out of scary and sketchy situations, losing her parents at a young age, being rushed from the country, and left to pretty much grow up on her own, she never really had the opportunity to make her own decisions. That being said, she is not really confident in her choices and has a hard time making big choices (unless she knows they’ll piss off Yao, then she can make up her mind in the snap of a finger). With her anxieties, she is always thinking ahead and finding the worst case scenario, preparing for it in her mind. She has worked too hard and survived too much to be simply caught off guard or lay down and die. She can be fierce. Since she has a tendency to waffle a lot before making a decision, she will not go back on it. More than that, she is stubborn in her loyalties. She is fiercely loyal to those who have helped her and continue to help her. This includes her employer at the Casino and her good friend Kiku who helped her when she ran away. In a way, though she is furious beyond repair with him, she's sort of loyal to Yao. She's aware how much he gave up for her. When she isn’t around her brother, she really is a pleasant girl. Though she is quick to be defensive to protect herself, she is fairly harmless. Mei wants to be the opposite of her dead beat brother. She wants to grow up good and earn an honest living as best she can- it's just a little hard right now being on the lawless side of the board. Just for Yao: Around her brother, she's very much- well, a bitch. She WANTS Yao to know how much she dislikes him and his whole operation. Thoguh she is kind to the ACTUALLY diner customers, she's rude and disrespectful to Yao's underground clients. They don't deserve her true, kind attention. They were all sly, sneaky, twits like her stupid brother.
Likes	Hates	Fears
Pissing off Yao: Any attention is better than no attention Pissing off Yao (REDUX): When he gets angry, he gets these two wrinkles between his eyebrows. It’s funny. Cute things: When Yao ignored her, she took comfort in cute toys. She would go through garbage cans to look for old tattered ones no one wanted and pick them out. Traditional Chinese food: Yao sells a lot of shit in his restaurant. . .Mei really misses good old fashioned Chinese food. The real stuff from back home. . . Broken things: Mei gets what it’s like to be broken inside, she she’ll often go out of her way to fix things that are broken as well. She’ll patch up toys, fix watches- she likes finding out how things work and putting them back together. Maybe if she ever get enough money, she’ll be an engineer. Parks/Calming Landscaping: After so much moving and constant start and go, Mei finds a sense of calmness and serenity when in a park, especially when that park has a water way with fish!	Drugs: ESPECIALLY opium. Bad food: One thing she did take from her brother was a sensible palette with his good cooking. That’s why she hates the crap Yao pawns off as Chinese food- he can do better. Physical violence: Nope. Not at all. Mongolians: It’s a hereditary hatred. She gets down to business to defeat them. Making a man out of you: Keeping the V-card, thanks.	Her brother’s anger: A part of her truly is afraid of him when he’s angry. Hit a girl once, lose her trust forever. She doesn’t fight with him anymore and tries to hide as much as she can from him. Fading back into poverty: Once was enough and now, even though through unsavoury methods, they have money and having food on the table and clean clothing on her body. Getting addicted: After watching what it did to her brother, she never wants to get addicted to anything. She doesn’t drink, smoke, and barely even takes medications. Not bringing honour to us all: but seriously, Yao ruined it.

[cs=3] History

[cs=3] Mei Xiao wasn’t stupid, she never was. As soon as she was able to consciously observe, she knew she was a strain on her family. She was born when Yao was in Middle School and, as she grew, watched him have to give up his dream on University. At a young age, she felt a lot of guilt and so gave him all she could which, for a child, was love and affection. Instead of watching her dear brother grow into a respectable college student, she watched him spiral into a world she didn’t understand. Yao spent less and less time with her as he got more and more addicted to Opium. Mei would wait faithfully for her brother every night, curling up on the chair near the door. Sometimes he’d come home so late, sometimes he wouldn’t come home at all. Unlike many people, she saw the changes in him: the dark circles under his eyes, his drunken disorientation, his whole personality taking a darker turn but . . . most importantly to her, she watched him pull away. Nothing could pass the eyes of an adoring child, even if she didn’t understand. As she grew, she felt abandoned by her brother and her parents. It didn’t come as a surprise when she heard them talking about what a strain she was on their finances. She attended the lower ranked elementary and middle schools, but never high school- no one could afford it. Eventually, she began to resent them all. Her mother and father for wanting her gone, Yao leaving her to do what he would, everyone around her who just seemed better off. Even the poorest of families seemed to adore their child. . .but they had only one. 3 was a family, 4 was a nuisance. She was alone. When she heard her parents talking about making her disappear . . . Mei shut down for a while. She didn’t talk; in fact she hid most of the time. Stories of the orphanages were not good. . .and if she was here, they couldn’t just get up and leave without her. . .hopefully. However when mama and baba died, she felt something no child should feel at the death of their parents: relief and hope. Maybe Yao would come back to her. At first, she was under the impression that things may yet be okay and her bitterness and depression made way for hope and new beginnings. They could rebuild, or at least that is what she thought as they made their way to the UK. They could get a new life, get jobs, he could go to college and she could go to high school! Things would be better! But they didn’t. She watched her brother go through college as she went through the rest of middle school and into high school, she was brilliant and a quick learner . . . but nothing changed like she had hoped. Though growing up she noticed the changes in him, Mei never knew why he changed the way he did. Now she knew it was drugs and that infuriated her- but how could she say anything? He was the one who took her away, brought her to a new country where she could get an education and make a fresh start. He was the one paying the rent. He was the one feeding her, clothing her . . . instead she just stewed in her own anger and watched silently. Once he’d graduated college with a degree in business with great grades, Mei was surprised but proud. The working world was at his feet, Yao could get a real job and quit that nasty drug! Job interview after job interview, she watched him struggle and, one day, confronted him about his addiction. She did it calmly but it quickly escalated to a full blown argument and he slapped her. Mei ran away for 2 weeks before coming back to him. She couldn’t survive on her own yet. She was still in high school, jobless, and her English was just starting to improve to where she could speak without an accent. . .but their relationship was never the same. Their conversations were minimal and she harboured a deep, scathing, almost hatred for her brother; he chose drugs over her. Things would never be okay after that. Her home became a Chinese restaurant, The Jade Dragon. She watched the business expand, and so did her rebellious streak. Half for the attention she didn’t get, half to piss him off. At 16 Mei INSISTED everyone call her by her English name, Autumn. She thought it was important- her Chinese name meant plum (it depends on the character use but I’m going with this), it was only fitting that Autumn was when plums died. Old Mei Xiao was gone as far as she was concerned. This was the beginning of passively fighting her brother. At 17 she got a tattoo of a gorgeous flower on her thigh. Yao surely wouldn’t approve of her defacing her body! At 18 she began stripping, not because she had an askew moral compass or anything, she had her reasons. Most of it was money. Mei wanted out and away from her brother and she needed money for that. Good strippers made almost as much as an escort but, unlike her brother, she would lose her virginity when it was right, not on some wayward loser like he did. So, escort was out of the question. Plus, you know, Yao surely wouldn’t approve of his little sister up there showing her skin . . .if he found out. Whatever- it’s not like she had anything left to lose. Otherwise she tried to work at the Jade Dragon as a waitress when Yao wasn’t there- she didn’t want him busting her balls all the time. She was a kind, congenial waitress though- got a lot of tips, and that’s how she liked it.

[rs=3] GREETINGS FROM TOMORROW NEVER DIES YOUR PROFILE HAS BEEN ACCEPTED.
Dammit Yao, why do you have to keep making your sister angry? Gosh, I feel sorry for this girl. As a little sister myself, I can relate to the whole “hating your brother” deal, though mine was just an ass and hers legitimately messed up. I like how, despite that, she still retains loyalty to him because he is family. I find it very sweet she can still feel like that despite all her hardships. Not to mention, her dislikes and that fear made me giggle a lot. You Chinese and your Mulan references… Well, here’s to hoping that this fiery little lady and her brother add to the growing amount of angst TND seems to have no end of! THE NAME IS WANG. MEI XIAO WANG.
