About

Name: Hong Meiling; 紅 美鈴 ; Hon Meirin
Age: ???
Taken: Sakuya heart
Personality/Appearance: Meiling is a proud Chinese-style martial arts master and a humanoid youkai. She's very laid-back, which often gets her into trouble. A lot of her time is spent reading manga and taking naps on the job. She isn't aggressive towards humans unless they are trying to tresspass on Scarlet Devil Mansion property, though the trespassers are often strong enough to beat her anyway. Also, she is in charge of the mansion's gardens.
Meiling's mastery of Tai Chi Chuan is her main ability in combat. Apparently, she is well-rounded, with no weak point. She is Scarlet Devil Mansion's gate guard. Also, Meiling has a boastful pride in China. Many people do not recognize her and call her "China", something she has come to dislike. Additionally, she is quite…well-endowed.
The character for "Hong" literally means "Scarlet" in Japanese and "Red" in Chinese. Meiling means "Beautiful Bell". It is also a common Chinese name. "Hong" could possibly refer to the Red Guards, a youth movement of the cultural revolution of the People's Republic of China. This is reinforced by her clothing. The word "guard" has the meaning of "gatekeeper" as well. Thus, it could indicate a pun, where "guard of the family name Hong=Red Guard".
Meiling has green-colored eyes and long, scarlet hair that symbolizes both her name and the place she's guarding. Her green beret and dress resemble traditional Chinese clothing. The beret has a gold star on the front with a Chinese character that is read as "lóng" and means dragon. Also, she sometimes wears white pants as well.
