[hider=Meifeng VuHong] [u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u] [b]Name:[/b] [INDENT][i]Meifeng VuHong[/i][/INDENT] [b]Nickname/Alias/Etc:[/b] [INDENT][i]Mei[/i][/INDENT] [b]Gender:[/b] [INDENT]Female[/INDENT] [b]Age:[/b] [INDENT]17[/INDENT] [b]Height:[/b] [INDENT]5'9[/INDENT] [b]Weight:[/b] [INDENT]145[/INDENT] [b]Home District:[/b] [INDENT]Central Valley[/INDENT] [b][u]Appearance[/u][/b] [b]Hair Color:[/b] [INDENT]Dark-Brown[/INDENT] [b]Eye Color:[/b] [INDENT]Brown[/INDENT] [b]Ethnicity:[/b] [INDENT]Chinese[/INDENT] [b]Physical Appearance:[/b] [INDENT]Meifeng is certainly a youthful and energetic reflection of her mother. She's a clear athlete, and one adventurous girl. Meifeng is not exactly the neat type. It's very common to see her with some form of dirt on her face, or grass stains on her clothes. And from the scars on her knuckles, it's clear that she enjoys some roughhousing. With a smile on her face, Meifeng is constantly on the move, and all of her movements are quite spastic. She has inherited many of her mother's looks. Meifeng is tall for her age, she towers above most girls. Her build is very slender, and well-toned, with a healthy amount of body-fat to give her curves. Despite being an athlete, she hasn't been blessed with a muscular body, what she does have is tight, and slim. Her hips are thin, and her waist is almost the same width. Her breasts are B-cup. Much like her mother, she has broad shoulders. She's somewhat tomboyish - though, she's more of a tomboy in personality than appearance. Meifeng is Asian, the whitish-yellow skin with golden overtones gives it away. Her skin is healthy from spending plenty of time in the sun, but it's certainly not completely clear. She has plenty of scars, all over her body. Mostly in the leg areas. She even inherited the mole on her right cheek that her mother has. Meifeng's hair is a dark-brown color, and is straight. It's suspected that her father has a similar hair. She keeps it in a long, braided, back length ponytail. Meifeng's facial features are heart-shaped, and she has a small head. In general, her facial-features are near-identical to her mothers. Meifeng has a sharp jaw, with a, strong, square chin. Her cheeks are round, and especially pronounced when she smiles. She has thin, lips, which accentuate her small mouth. Her lips are a shade of pink that are natural for people. She has a medium-sized, triangle-shaped nose, with the tip being very pointed. Finally, Meifeng's eyes are slanted, and her irises have a brown color to them.[/INDENT] [b]Attire:[/b] [INDENT]Meifeng dresses like an athlete. Most of the time, Meifeng is seen wearing either her volleyball uniform, or her basketball team uniform (Both are red). Since it's summer-time, she dresses lightly. Usually she wears sweat shorts, and a shirt that matches. Usually, her outfits are red, since that's her favorite color. She seldom wears skirts, or jeans, since she finds them uncomfortable. Even in the underwear department, Meifeng wears boxers, and a sports bra. She doesn't wear a lot of jewelry, but she has her ears pierced.[/INDENT] [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] [b]Innate & Outward Personality:[/b] [INDENT]Meifeng is one fierce chick. She has the same competitive and firey drive as her mother. Except, it's a more energetic version. She's always driving herself to excel in as many things as possible. Sports, fighting, etc. She never lets herself lose, and if she does, she'll try again. But harder. Meifeng is a hotblooded girl that has a very short fuse, things can easily set her off. Meifeng rarely takes shit from anyone, and will retaliate in full force - whether it's on her behalf, or someone else's. Meifeng simply refuses to allow someone to get one over her. She isn't as disciplined as her mother, and rather impulsive, and doesn't think things through when it counts. Meifeng is the kind of girl that'd get herself into trouble for entertainment. The kind of girl that'd be quick to try new things on an impulse. Though, she's a very firm believer of justice, and hates criminals. She'll do everything in her power in order to uphold justice, and fights for what is right. It's from all the TV she watches that gave her a fascination with heroism. Meifeng wishes to some day join NEST, which is why she strives to reach her peak. Though, some of her actions have gotten her in trouble with NEST (And the police) plenty of times. That hasn't impeded her even in the slightest, because she knows that she's right deep down. She's insanely stubborn, and unmoving. Very rarely will she see the reason other people present. She hates authority, and will do her best to straight up fuck with them. This stems from her mother's rather strict and harsh parenting. Which has drove her to rebel as much as possible, and deviate from her mother's plans. Which has created a rebel rather than the daughter she envisioned. Thus, it's rather difficult for Meifeng to operate in a group. She doesn't take orders too well, and would shitpick with the "leader". She'll have little problems with taking the position of "leader" for herself. Meifeng is very friendly and forthcoming, albeit rude at times. She's very chipper, and treats people with her own version of "respect". She's naturally extroverted, and is always seeking out new and interesting people. Her definition of interesting is "not boring as hell". In conversation, she's loud, and always seen laughing, and cracking a joke. Even if it's at someone else's expense. Still, she tries to be the life of the party. If things get boring, then she'll bail out and head off to go fight someone or something. People tend to note that she's insanely confident. Everything she does just has that layer of certainty behind them. Talking to/approaching people, fighting, and more. That she trusts herself not to mess them up. Though, I should note that she isn't the type to hold onto things. She lets go of past grievances rather quickly, because she's the type that moves forward, and she feels that holding onto grudges impedes that. Meifeng is constantly on the move to explore and find herself, and discover the world at large. She believes that living to the fullest, and fulfilling your dreams, is the key to happiness. Rather than sitting in a cubicle for all her life. I can safely say that Meifeng is an idealist at heart. A huge one. She believes in the things that a cynic, or a realist, would wholeheartedly reject. She believes in redemption, and that people can change. Above all else, forgiveness. One thing she wants to find out about is what is hidden in the shadows, and what secrets the world may hold. Meifeng is a fan of the strange and extraordinary. Specifically the kind of Metahumans that are hideously deformed, and eldritch. She actually prefers it to the mundane. In terms of romance, Meifeng isn't a master of the field, but she displays the same confidence as she usually shows. She'll casually flirt, and hit on people she likes without fear of rejection. She's the type that loves affection and romance out of her partner, along with similar interests. In terms of exact sexuality, she's easily bi-curious. She's attracted to guys, but has an interest in the other gender. She mostly chalks it up to her attempts to defy her mother's expectations, but she isn't super sure. Meifeng's a real "judge a book by it's cover" type of person. She judges people on outward appearances, rather than considering the innate factors. If something seems boring to her, then she won't try it. If someone seems shifty, then she'll keep her eyes on them. This is also connected to a bit of impatience. She just doesn't want to wait, she just wants to go to point A-to-B as fast as possible. Which causes some obvious problems. Meifeng has some rather innate worries and conflicts. She holds a great deal of inner-resentment towards her mother. For her strict parenting, and for refusing to tell her about her father. She stills wonders about who her father is. Meifeng, in the end, is after glory. As the one thing she fears is living a "boring" mundane life. Ultimately, Meifeng just refuses to grow up. She wants to be a kid forever. Underneath the pride, competitiveness, and confidence, Meifeng does have her fair share of trauma. An incident where she was rendered helpless... has made her quite reckless, and impulsive. While she may appear as if it isn't bothering her, it's something that keeps her up at night. Makes her worried that she'll ever be capable of fighting on her own. Which is why she's out to fight and has gotten so competitive. She wants to show the world that she's strong.[/INDENT] [b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b] [INDENT]Plenty of things. Meifeng is a fan of sports, and anything that gets her blood pumping. She's a huge fan of volleyball, and basketball. Most of her interests are listed above. She is a Bike-rider, and she's seen racing alongside the rivers on her bicycle. Meifeng also likes Yoga, thus, she does yoga workouts with her mother sometimes.[/INDENT] [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [INDENT]Being a immigrant from China, she's pretty damn good at speaking Chinese. She's good at English, but isn't perfect. In case you haven't realized it, Meifeng is a dedicated athlete, and martial artist. At a young age, she's played plenty of volleyball. While she hasn't played on a team recently, she still plays volleyball with other girls on the beach from time to time. Meifeng officially plays basketball for her highschool's team, and she's pretty good at it. Since she pushed herself to be. Meifeng is also a competent martial artist, having reached red-belt status in karate after practicing it for several years. Her mother also taught her a few tricks that she knew. This combined makes Meifeng a rather competent empty-handed brawler. She's gotten into plenty of fights. Some she won, some she lost. Still, she puts that training to go use in order to get some experience. She knows how to use weapons such as nunchunks, tonfas, and bo staffs - but her favorite is the Bo-staff. She likes the look and fell of it. She's used a broom-stick as a Bo-staff a few times to hilarious effects.[/INDENT] [b]History/Bio:[/b] [hider=Meifeng's story][INDENT]You should probably read Lihua's backstory first. It covers a few notable events. Meifeng was born under unknown circumstances while Lihua was working for the Gai Hexin Yuan, and since a secret military group is not the best place to raise a child, Meifeng was given to her grandfather in order to raise her. She grew up in the same house that her mother did, in fact. She was born without a solid mother figure, or even a good father figure. She didn't see her mother for [i]years[/i], and only knew that she existed from her grandfather talking about her. In fact, she was on her own most of the time. In school was the only place for Meifeng to develop any solid social skills. In school, she was a bit of a trouble-maker. She'd get into fights, and cause all manners of mischief. At home, she was rarely given any reprimanding, her grandfather barely cared. She showed an interest in volleyball, and joined the team at a young age - and took it very seriously. Which gave her that competitive drive and love of all things fast paced. Life was... pretty mundane and wasn't super noteworthy. Once she was around eight, she received a change of pace like no other. One night, her mother, whom she never seen before, came home, and next thing Meifeng knew, she was taken from her previous life, and came to America with her mother. America was a very strange place for Meifeng, but she was living with her rather wealthy Uncle, and his daughters. She lived in Black Fall. For two years, Meifeng adjusted to American life with the help of her family (And Mika). She was enrolled the same school as her cousins, and managed to get on the volleyball team again. Along with getting an above-average education, she refined her social skills. She resented her mother somewhat for never being there for her in the early days, but she was eager to make up for lost time. They remained in Black Fall for two years, until her mother got a job as a NEST Agent, and they were sent off to Verthaven. In Verthaven, Meifeng and her mother lived in the Central Valley neighborhood, and went to a school in University Row (Only thing she was pissed about was that there was no volleyball team, Basketball would suffice). She lived in relative comfort, until she was walking home from school one day, and was attacked by a group of female Iron Cross members that went to the same school as her. They forced her under one of the bridges, and began beating her. They roared swear words at her, as they kicked and hit her with objects. Meifeng managed to crawl from under the tunnel - only for them to make pursuit with her. Meifeng crawled up into a park, and they followed. They followed, and Meifeng begged for them to stop, shielding herself with her hands. The second she made that hand motion, a wave of water came over and swept them all away. Which surprised literally everyone present. Though, it didn't stop the Iron Cross members from trying to beat her. Fortunately, it drew enough attention for someone to step in and stopped the whole incident. Police were called, and Meifeng received medical attention. Fortunately, they didn't beat her too badly, and she was out of the hospital rather quickly. Though, the mental wounds did not heal. She felt weak. After her mother caught news of what happened. Well, let's just say those Iron Cross members disappeared. After a talk with her mother, she suggested that Meifeng takes martial arts lessons, and learn to fight. Since this city is a dangerous, and crime-filled one, and she wasn't going to be around all the time to protect her. Though, Meifeng got karate lessons in downtown from Chinese people, her mother wouldn't accept any less. She used it as a way to release her anger, and control herself, along with learning how to fight. Meifeng also talked to her mother about what happened with the water, and shortly enough, Meifeng was tested positive for Meta-aids. She was registered... and had no idea what she could do. She thought dirt was lame, and didn't know how to use the power. However, her mother was of help. First, her mother managed to get Meifeng enrolled in Academy 12 so she can learn how to use her powers. Second, her mother helped her learn her power herself. This really helped Meifeng learn how to use her power, and realize that it's something more than lame. Though, she wished that she got the ability to control something cooler...[/INDENT] [/hider] [u][b]Relationships[/b][/u] [b]Family:[/b] [INDENT][INDENT]Unknown Father.

Meifeng can manipulate water around herself (He can't manipulate the waters inside of people). She can manipulate all waters within fifteen meters of herself, and preform basic water bending techniques. She does this through flowing body motions, such as swinging his hands to throw a wave of water, and etc, etc. Since water is an extremely flexible and common substance, this is a useful element. She can shape it in any way imaginable. She can smack people with a bucket of water, or surround herself in a whirling spire of water to defend herself. Still, her control is pretty basic, she can't do the fancy tricks yet. However, one ability she has is what she calls "water-walking". When he steps on a body of water, of any size, she will seemingly stand on it as if it's a solid object. At will, she can simply drop and fall into the water. This leads up into another trick she has. She can surf by standing on a body of water and manipulating it to move her around. Almost like it's carrying her. This is a go-to technique by Meifeng in order to get around quickly. It is possible for her to control ice and mist/steam, but those are future abilities. Future abilities she can learn are: sensing vibrations through water, changing water temperature, and changing the viscosity of water. [/INDENT] [b]Limits:[/b] [INDENT]There is a range of fifteen meters with her water manipulation. Meifeng can only really control pure water, she has trouble with diluted, and/or dirty, water. Fresh, rain, water is what he can control the best.[/INDENT] [b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [INDENT]Electricity is the most obvious problem. If she touches an electrified puddle of water, she's out. Using this power also dehydrates her quickly (FOR COMPLETELY NONSENSICAL REASONS). The more she uses it, the more water he will need to drink. If he's completely dehydrated, she'll be cut off from all of his powers (Along with a hoist of other problems!). Dry, hot, areas also impede his ability to control water. The more water Meifeng attempts to control, the less fine-control she has over all of it.[/INDENT] [b][u]Other:[/u][/b] [INDENT][/INDENT] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZHrd6kZaic[/youtube] [/hider]
