She carries herself with grace like royalty, and never slips up. She looks like that that condescending bitch who looks down on you, and judges you for your lifestyle (Both are true). Everything about her is neat and orderly, she wouldn't let you live if you so much as saw her with a spec of dirt on her. Lihua is a very tall, obviously Asian woman, the kind of woman that just stands out in a crowd. She has a thin build - but recently, Lihua has put on some weight. She has developed a bit of a gut, and thickness in her arms, legs, and breasts. Fortunately, she isn't completely rotund. She's clearly working to lose this weight. Though, there was a point where she was nearly in peak physical condition. Those days are long gone. Moving on, Lihua's arms and legs are rather proportionate to her body. She has rather broad shoulders due to her build. Due to the heels she wears, she tends to appear a lot taller than people may guess. Her bra-size is a DD-cup. Lihua's skin is a whitish color with heavy golden-overtones - true to her Asian Heritage. Her facial features are Asianic, more consistent with China. Lihua is battle scarred, if she takes off her clothes, everyone would see every scar she has. Burn scars, slashing scars, bullethole scars - it's astonishing that she's even alive here today. She's managed to keep the scars off her face, though. Most of her scars are fading. Other than that, Lihua's body has an appropriate amount of stretch marks - a given, since she's recently been putting on the weight, - blemishes, and wrinkles, given that she is aging. Most notably, there is a large mole on her right cheek. Lihua's facial features are heart-shaped, and she has a small head. True to her heritage, her eyes are slanted, and have a deep-brown color to them. Her nose is triangle-shaped, and very pointed, with triangle-shaped nostril. She has a small mouth - Her lips are thin, and usually painted a pink, or red, color with lipstick. Lihua has a strong jawline, and a square-shaped chin, with particularly small cheeks. Lihua has small, diamond-shaped, ears. Lihua's hair is straight, clean, and very well-maintained. She keeps it styled in a bob-cut, with bangs off to the side.[/INDENT] [color=dodgerblue][b]Attire:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Lihua's eyes are always seen behind a pair of sophisticated glasses. On the job, Lihua tends to dress up like a business woman, wearing pinstriped suits, various dress-shirts, and skirts. Lihua tends to wear heels that elevates her height by a few inches. In more casual situations, Lihua tends to dress well anyway. She'll wear a skirt of some sort, along with a dress shirt. Even if she's at home, she always makes a note to dress very well. Lihua wears jewelry, along with things like sunglasses. Lihua also tends to carry around a purse, usually a fancy black leather purse. However, this is more than a simple purse. Inside the purse is a hidden compartment with a gun holster. Her glock. On NEST missions (Which Lihua rarely goes on), Lihua has her own custom Battle Dress. To reflect the one that she used earlier. It consists of a black flak-jacket, with a black longcoat thrown over it. Along with padded combat pants, a tactical belt (and two holsters), steel-toe combat boots, gloves, and a shirt to wear under the armor[/INDENT] [h3][color=dodgerblue][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/color][/h3] [color=dodgerblue][b]Innate & Outward Personality:[/b][/color] [INDENT]One fierce woman. Lihua, despite everything she's gone through, has kept her competitive and standoffish personality. People refer to her as being strong, albeit very aloof and callous. Lihua is a woman that holds her pride and accomplishments as a woman above all else. She would hate to take another blow to her pride. Which is why she's very quick to retaliate once someone attacks her. Someone throws a punch, and she's certain to hit right back. And if she doesn't get even in that moment, expect her to retaliate at the earliest possible opportunity. That's just her beliefs that she was raised upon. Not returning a proper show of force is a form of weakness. She's quite haughty, and arrogant, her body simply emanates vanity. Her pride and her arrogance combined basically means she isn't the type to accept help. She believes that, if she gets herself into something, she can certainly get herself out of it, and see the endeavor to the end. Without needing a helping hand, or a crutch. And hell, she has the drive and talents to see it to the end. This, somewhat applies to other people as well, she tends to look down on the people who cannot do things themselves. [i]However,[/i] she will help people if asked to. For reasons as shallow as boosting her own ego. This also means that she's a firm believer of fighting your own battles. If someone gets into a fight they cannot finish, then Lihua will tell them that she will not fight for them. Only once things go too far shall she step in. Which means the same applies to her, she refuses to take help when she's fighting. Of course, this doesn't apply if an organization such as NEST fights, as it truly isn't [i]personal[/i] (far as she can tell). This is heavily connected to her beliefs that people should take responsibility for their actions, and they shouldn't cop out because they've gotten in over their heads. Those who can't are lower than dogs in her eyes. Aside from the raging arrogance, one of Lihua's other defining traits is her discipline, and patience. Years of years of training and experience has given Lihua an amount of temperance. The ability to resist base desires and hold in her anger. Her will is iron-hard, and very rarely will she give in to temptation or any of the sort. This woman contains her anger very well, though, she's rather easy to annoy. She'll shrug off petty insults, and other irritants - usually distracting herself. However, once people push her buttons too many times, she can be a handful. Very hard to control - and even harder to calm down. Though, she has a habit of slipping into Chinese whenever she gets annoyed. Lihua is very determined, and rough, once she gets herself set on a goal, she can be very hard to get her away from that goal. Lihua is very competitive, and always strives to reach the top. She won't hesitate to fight for her positions. When you need a leader, she's there. In conversation, Lihua is very polite, albeit rather condensing. She's very choice-y of words, and quiet, only speaking if she has something to say. Though, her openness is rather situational. In professional settings, she's rather aloof, to the point, and rarely shows emotion. In casual settings, she's much more friendly, and passionate, casually throwing jokes and having fun - even then, don't expect her to share much more about herself other than her accomplishments. Though, she isn't as straight forward as people make her out to be. Even in casual situations, she could be called the "scheming" type. She's constantly seeking to learn something that'd allow her to get an edge on other people. Around people she distastes, she tends to go into closed-off mode until they go away - acting very passive aggressive. Underneath the friendliness, she tends to judge the people she's around silently. Judging them off their hobbies, jobs, and all around life choices. Hell, she'll even judge you by the shoes you wear. She keeps these sentiments to herself. With this judgmental attitude, she filters the people she wishes to associate with. At times, she'd flat out tell people that she doesn't want anything to do with them. It's relatively uncommon for her to forge close bonds with other people. The way she treats her family differs from how she treats friends and co-workers. She expects the best from her children, and she guides them so they don't go down the same paths that she has. She only wants what's best for her family. I don't even have to say that Lihua's a mother bear. Fuck with her cubs, and she'll eat you. Lihua is very in touch with her sexuality, and won't hesitate to hit on a man that's her own age. Though, she isn't looking for any longterm relationships. Morality-wise, Lihua truly is a mixed bag. One would get the impression that she has no morality, given how far she's willing to go to serve her goals. Going far enough to kill a person if necessary, and betray even the closest friends. However, she still has some semblance of humanity left in her. She will help people in certain situations, such as when she truly loses nothing, or, mainly, when she has something to gain out of it. That isn't to say that she's not sympathetic to people. She won't stand by as a woman's getting sexually assaulted, and she'll at least spare a penny for a homeless man. Nor will she leave someone (that she feels doesn't deserve it) to die. Though, she isn't the type who'd go out of her way to help these people - only when she crosses paths with them should she help them. Lihua's maternal instincts are still strong as ever. She has a soft spot for young, innocent, children. They really bring out her emphatic and sympathetic side. She'll certainly comfort a child in need, especially crying children. As for other people (such as teens and adults)? They'll usually get a scathing comment for their vulnerability, and told to toughen up. Under it all, Lihua is a very cruel and ruthless woman, who will go to any length to achieve her goals. Whether those goals are good, or bad, and how she obtains them are moral or not. In her eyes, it is survival of the fittest, honor and rules don't mean much. Right now, almost everything she does is for her family. She just wants a quiet life - but at the same time, she doesn't. Lihua believes that there is only one place for her; the battlefield. Lihua truly feels awkward, since she's worked with the military for all of her life. Lihua is haunted by her past, she's seen, and [i]done[/i] some very fucked up shit. Things that keep her awake at night, and wonder what would happen if it caught up with her. She doesn't trust anyone enough to open up and tell her story, mainly because she's paranoid that the country she fled to would forsake her, and her daughters. Lihua is deeply paranoid, and keeps a gun close to her at all times. People want her dead. [/INDENT] [color=dodgerblue][b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Interests? Lihua is a woman that enjoys the quiet, simple, moments over the hectic and excited chaos teens are used to. Though, I should note one thing that she loves: donuts. If she isn't seen with one of these sweets, something is wrong. The second she came to America and tried one of these treats, she found them simply delectable. Fucking with her donuts is a good way to get her angry. Now, Lihua enjoys Yoga, martial arts, bike rides through the city, and sculpting statues with her power.[/INDENT] [color=dodgerblue][b]Skills/Talents:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Lihua has, due to (You know) living there for a good chunk of her life, a near mastery of the Mandarin Chinese language. She can maintain a conversation in Chinese for extended periods of time. It's English she has trouble with. Now, Lihua has, for a good chunk of her life, worked for the military, and has tons of experience under her belt. I should note her hand-to-hand skills first. Lihua nearly achieved black belt status in Tai Chi in her youth, and has been taught Chinese Military hand-to-hand. She was a pretty badass fighter.... Was. She's rusty, and hasn't practiced either form of martial arts in years - not to mention the fact she isn't getting any younger. She'd get her ass kicked by someone younger that knows what they're doing. Lihua also knows how to shoot a variety of firearms. Pistols, assault rifles... though, she prefers a simple pistol, that's what she's best at. She has a good aim, it degraded a bit, but she can still shoot straight. She has an easier time shooting a pistol, though. And she has loads of experience dealing with, and fighting Metahumans. Along with espionage and information gathering. Some of these skills have stuck with her enough for her to use them on reflex. Finally, her most defining talent is leadership. She's been put in charge of a large group of people and lead them to victory. That leadership skill translates to other fields... quite well. She's also incredibly skilled with using her powers, as she was trained, and has much combat experience.[/INDENT] [color=dodgerblue][b]History/Bio:[/b][/color] [hider=Start of a Tyrant][INDENT]Lihua Vuhong was born with a name that she hasn't used in oh so long, and she lived in Hong Kong, China for a great deal of her life to an upper-class family, along with her older brother, Jiao-Long. Lihua was a fire-y type from a young age, picking fights with other kids in school for shits and giggles, and coming home rather bruised (And in lots of trouble). This got worse as Lihua grew up, and it reached the point where her parents wanted to discipline her. So, they signed her up for Tai-Chi classes in order to teach her what they couldn't. At first, Lihua thought they were teaching her how to fight! Boy, was she wrong. They quickly whipped her ass into shape the second she stepped out of line. While it was rough at first, she eventually went along with it, and her parents got what they wanted. As Lihua grew up, she used Tai Chi as a way of life, and became very skilled in the way of martial arts. Nothing of note occurred until she was around thirteen. That's when her magic power manifested. She was just walking down the street, and when she took a step, a stone spike popped out of the ground. For no reason. She brushed it off as the acid she took kicking in. Later that night, she put a hole in the wall. She realized that something was definitely wrong here. It took her awhile to realize that she had manifested a Metahuman ability, the ability to control concrete. It was scary... but at the same time, amazing. She made this one of her best kept secrets, something that she would learn to control... First thing Lihua did was fix her fucking wall. For years, Lihua kept her power a secret, and practiced it on the side. Always small scale, since she was afraid of what would happen if she ever went larger scale. Once she turned eighteen, her parents suffered a divorce because of some grievances between them, her mother left with Jiao-Long and went to America. Because reasons. Lihua choose to stay in China because she liked it here, but she kept in touch with her family. She had perfected her techniques with her power. Then everything changed when the men with the military came to her home. For Lihua, in fact. One of the men said that she was definitely a Metahuman - then he told her that Lihua was conscripted into the army. Her father couldn't dispute this, he had no choice but to go along with it, or all of them would go to prison. However, Lihua was taken to a place far away from her home - in fact, it was no military base the public knew about. Lihua was shuffled into a room full of people just like her, and a man told her why they were here; they were Metahumans, and thus, conscripted into a organization known as [i]The Gai Hexin Yuan[/i]. China's newly formed elite Metahuman intelligence and espionage group that nobody else in the world knew about. They were to be trained in Espionage, combat, and other subjects, along with being trained in their powers. Lihua tried to resist at first, but she was disciplined very severely... Until she too, went along with it. She went through the very extensive training regime, and learned all sorts about her power (How to use it efficiently, and how to use it much more destructively). After a few years of training, Lihua was ready, having excelled until she was considered the first among equals. Each of them were considered. They were assigned their first mission, slip into India and steal some information, and they passed it with flying colors. Then they were assigned their next mission, then their next mission, and so on. During these missions, it was clear that Lihua was the best out of all of the recruits. Displaying leadership and skills far beyond her peers. They promoted her, and assigned her leadership of the team, while other members of the Gai Hexin went out to recruit new Metahumans. Leading this organization, Lihua carried out mission after mission. Cutting down Metahumans, and doing whatever she was asked to do. However, in between missions, she fell in love with another one of her operatives. And after spending one night with him, she came out of it pregnant. She was fiercely reprimanded for this, and was demoted. However, she was given time to leave, and have her child, because of how successful she was in the field. Nine months later, she gave birth to a healthy girl, whom she named [i]Meifeng[/i]. She was given time to recover, before being put right back out onto the field. Meifeng was given to her father in order to raise her. For eight years, Lihua was their most effective agent, and quickly ascended the ranks, right up into Officer Cadet. Lihua was one of China's greatest assets, and she wanted to keep it that way... That is, until something [i]very bad[/i] occurred one night that turned China's greatest asset, to their most wanted criminal. At least she had a head start. Lihua grabbed Meifeng, and asked her brother, who had become a prominent scientist and owner of a major company (Apart of the Savior Foundation), to help her get out of the country. He obliged, and helped her get into America. They first arrived in Black Fall, where they discussed what happened, and where could they go from there. Jiao-Long suggested that Lihua join NEST... Put her talents to good use. Well, Lihua didn't like the organization (Or America) all that much, but she had no where else to go. Though, Jiao-long let them stay at his mansion for awhile so they can rest. Lihua stuck with them for two years, and bonded with her brother's variety of children. Before she signed up for NEST, and was accepted into their training regime. Months later, she passed, and was assigned to Verthaven. Lihua quickly rose the ranks of NEST, and became one of their top agents. An Intelligence Officer credited for assisting in the apprehension of several criminals, along with acting as a rather professional investigator. A year in, and Lihua got pregnant from a one night stand with a Co-worker, and after some time off, she gave birth to her beautiful daughter Lijuan. Lihua kept working for NEST, and continued climbing the ranks. Lihua worked her ass off during the operation against the Fiends. She provided information that lead to the death of one of the Lieutenants, and assisted in the capture of others. She also participated in the battle, and the aftermath, of the Fiend's attack on the Headquarters. Though, one her daughter called her for help, she was the one who raided the Hands of Science base, and rescued many of their captured Metahumans. All ending with a fierce and brutal battle against two of the Hands of Science's most powerful Metahumans. She came out victorious, and helped expose the Hands of Science, and the Director's involvement with them, to the world. Afterwards, she was promoted to Head of the I&I (Intelligence and Investigation) Department of NEST. Which she took full advantage of. While taking more time off to spend it with Meifeng. Yeah, yeah, there's some missing pieces that'll be filled out on the IC.[/INDENT] [/hider] [color=dodgerblue][h3][u][b]Relationships[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Family:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Unknown Lover Bohai Baozai - Father (Deceased) Biyu Baozai - Mother Meifeng VuHong - Daughter (Has Water Manipulation & Generation) Lijuan VuHong - Daughter 1yrs Jiao-Long Baozai - Brother Chunhua Baozai - Sister in Law Lin Baozai - Niece (Has a combination of Shape-Shifting and Telepathy) Jia-Li Baozai - Niece (Can manipulate a mixture of light and darkness) Kura Baozai - Niece (Has Electrokinesis) Mika Baozai - Niece (Has Cerebral Power Replication)[/INDENT] [color=dodgerblue][b]Dynamics:[/b][/color] [indent][b]Meifeng[/b] | [b]Good[/b] | [b]Daughter[/b] | [color=Dodgerblue][i]"I love my daughter.... my lesbian daughter....

The very matter that makes up the very city of Verthaven. With hand and feet motions, Lihua is capable of manipulating concrete. Moving it telekinetically, and shaping it. These two uses have plenty of offensive and defensive applications when you get down to it. On a small scale, Lihua can shoot concrete shards, create spikes of concrete, or forge a shield around herself. On a larger scale, Lihua can create dramatic structures, and absolutely destroy other structures - with a considerable amount of effort, of course. With this power, she can bend the city to her will. One trick she came up with is basically creating Earthquakes. She can focus, and cause the concrete around her to begin violently shaking. Causing untold destruction in the area. It'll leave her exhausted afterwards. Another trick is using her power to move around, by surfing on concrete. She can use this power to essentially fly by pulling a giant piece of concrete off the ground and ride it.[/INDENT] [color=dodgerblue][b]Limits:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Lihua's power works as far as the eye can see - however, the further she goes out, the less effective the whole power is. She has a harder time controlling concrete that is far away from her than what's close to her, and it'll take more energy out of her. The same goes with the larger feats. Lihua's power is limited by the purity of the concrete. If it has asphalt, rebar, or any of the sort, she'll have a very hard time controlling it. It takes more energy, and she won't be able to move it as easily.[/INDENT] [color=dodgerblue][b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b][/color] [INDENT]First of which, whenever Lihua manipulates concrete, she'll become "grounded". A state which her mobility will be very limited. It'll be very difficult for her to move, until she stops and regains her mobility. Even then, there will be a couple second lapse until she regains the ability to move normally. Using her power causes her skin to dry up and crack. Usually it's small and subtle with the basic uses, but the grand uses will instantly cause a massive crack in her skin. Which... is pretty bloody and painful.[/INDENT] [h3][color=dodgerblue][b][u]Other:[/u][/b][/color][/h3] [INDENT]Lihua is an Intelligence Officer and Investigator for NEST - was recently promoted to Head of the I&I (Intelligence and Investigations) Department. Former leader of the secret Chinese variation known as the Gai Hexin Yuan. They were more of spies than Metahuman regulators, and Lihua was the best one. They carried out countless espionage missions against neighboring countries, and battled many Metahumans. She keeps a Glock 17 as her sidearm, and has several more hidden behind a safe in her house. She has a license to conceal, and very rarely will a gun leave her side - even off duty she keeps a gun in her purse. As for automobiles, Lihua likes it real classy-like. She normally drives a modified 2015 Cadillac XTS Luxury Sedan (A gift from her brother), with tinted windows so nobody can see in, of course. There's a scanner and other equipment in here. She's not too much of a field agent, so she rarely drives this on missions. There aren't any NEST logos on it. Lihua has many contacts within the criminal underworld that she uses to scope out the bigger threats. Usually she blackmails them, or makes a deal.[/INDENT] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IT7iqzEErbI[/youtube] [/hider] [hr] [hider=Meifeng Vuhong] [h3][color=red][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u][/color][/h3] [color=red][b]Name:[/b][/color] [INDENT][i]Meifeng Vuhong[/i][/INDENT] [color=red][b]Nickname/Alias/Etc:[/b] [/color] [INDENT][i]Mei, An Unbreakable Diamond[/i][/INDENT] [color=red][b]Gender:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]Female[/INDENT] [color=red][b]Age:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]18[/INDENT] [color=red][b]Height:[/b][/color] [INDENT]5'10[/INDENT] [color=red][b]Weight:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]141[/INDENT] [color=red][b]Home District:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]Central Valley[/INDENT] [color=red][h3][b][u]Appearance[/u][/b][/h3] [b]Hair Color:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Dark-Brown[/INDENT] [color=red][b]Eye Color:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Brown[/INDENT] [color=red][b]Ethnicity:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Chinese[/INDENT] [color=red][b]Physical Appearance:[/b][/color] [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, and stands on the same level as most boys. 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. However, during the battle against the Hands of Science a few weeks ago, she received a few scars from her wounds. On the right side of her midsection, there is three large, thick, clawpoint scars. Most notably, she now has a scar on her cheek, a five point claw scar that is large, fleshy, and nasty. Which is also present on her breast in a similar arc (Appearing as if it was all done in a downward slah). Meifeng 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 back length rope 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] [color=red][b]Attire:[/b] [/color] [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] [color=red][h3][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/h3] [b]Innate & Outward Personality:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Meifeng is one fierce chick. She has the same competitive and firey drive as her mother. Except, far more energetic, passionate, and excitable. 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. Speaking of which, Meifeng is insanely determined and hardworking, and she takes any form of training very seriously - while keeping a carefree and positive attitude about it. It's because she's so passionate about what she believes in that she's able to carry on like this. She's insanely stubborn, and un-moving. 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 not even being there for a chunk of Meifeng's life, 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. One thing that is a driving motivation behind her actions is simply loneliness. She's a lonely girl, one that doesn't exactly fit into too many groups due to her personality, looks, and her past. No matter how hard she tries, she's just different. Which is why she's rather desperate to find friends, and keep them close, to assure her that the loneliness is over. After being kidnapped by the Hands of Science, Meifeng has been pretending it never happened, and moved on with her life. She is trying to move on like it never happened, and not even talking about it to anyone. But, it has made her deeply paranoid. Constantly looking over her shoulders, and worried as if someone (or [i]thing[/i]) has been stalking her. Along with constantly checking up on her friends.[/INDENT] [color=red][b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b][/color] [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. She's also a skateboarder, she's no expert, but sometimes she likes rolling down the streets of Verthaven on a skateboard. 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] [color=red][b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [/color] [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. Other than punching stuff, and sports, Meifeng was also pushed to learn driving by her mother. She quickly learned how to drive with her help, and gained her Drivers License.[/INDENT] [color=red][b]History/Bio:[/b][/color] [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, mad that Meifeng was rising to the top of the basketball team. 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 Chinatown, 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. 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... Ever since she was kidnapped by the Hands of Science (and rescued), Meifeng has been laying low. Keeping her head down, and generally staying inside her house and bonding with her mother. Still, she was paranoid...[/INDENT] [/hider] [h3][color=red][u][b]Relationships[/b][/u][/color][/h3] [color=red][b]Family:[/b] [/color] [INDENT][INDENT]Unknown Father.

She can do everything you'd expect a water-bender to do - telekinetically move and manipulate water (Fresh water, sea water, etc) through fluid body movements. Which means she's very capable of using a variety of offensive, and defensive techniques - as water is a very flexible and versatile element. A quick swipe from her hands can launch a bucket of water, a kick can shoot a wave, and spinning her arms around can allow her to create a vortex of water. Defensively, Meifeng could spin her arms around to create a spinning orb of water. Which isn't nearly strong enough to stop bullets, but it can stop a person with ease (And hurt them badly if they're stupid enough to walk into it). Meifeng can also wrap water around small/light-weight objects to move them, a pseudo-telekinesis.[/indent] [i]Water-Storage & Expulsion.[/i] [INDENT]An ability that Meifeng has over other water-benders is that she has the ability to absorb water from her environment, and store it inside a localized pocket dimension she can access (Shut up, it just works). At will, Meifeng can simply pull the water out of the dimension and manipulate it. Meaning she basically carries a supply of water with her - not too much, however, the most she can store is around six bathroom tubs worth of water. Now, Meifeng can expel this water off in high-pressured jets, or create shields - basically having the ability to manipulate it in general. One trick she has learned is "hovering" by shooting high-pressure water off at her own feet in order to slow down her descent. Same trick can be used in order to give her an enhanced jump. What stops it from being true flight is that Meifeng has a supply of the water is finite. Look up "flyboard" if you want an idea of how this works.[/INDENT] [i]Minor Ice-Manipulation.[/i] [INDENT]Now, concerning other states of water, this is where it gets a bit complicated. No Meifeng can't control steam/mist - but she can control ice. At will, she can snap freeze a few gallons of water... butm she can't control large chunks of ice. This might sound weird/contradictory, but she can control plenty of small pieces of ice. Largest piece of ice she can lift up is the size of an average icecube. Now... This is where the trick I've been leading up to comes in. She has come up with an interesting technique using. In short, Meifeng can freeze the water in small shapes, and shoot them off at high speeds. Basically creating a gun out of ice. She's capable of shooting them off at a rate that it could be compared to an assault rifle on full auto. With a flick of her wrist, she can turn ice into water.[/INDENT] [i]Water-Walking.[/i] [INDENT]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, and is completely capable of walking on it for an indefinite period of time. 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. I should note that she can allow other people to water walk with her if they're close enough. This is actually her power subconsciously manipulating the density (and the water itself) underneath her feet in order to allow her to stand on water.[/INDENT] [color=red][b]Limits:[/b][/color] [INDENT]To start off, Meifeng has the usual range restriction. She can control water up to twelve feet away. Meaning she's limited to up close and personal fights (her favorite!). She also has a limit on how much she can control at a time - though I really suck at judging units of measurements, so we'll be playing the assuming game. While she can control a large amount at a time in comparison to her own body, she won't be able to redirect a river, create a beach-consuming tidal wave, and etc. Most she can do is probably dick with you while she's in the pool. But, the more water she is manipulating at a time, the less fine control she'll have. While manipulating a large amount of water, she'll be restricted to rough, basic, imprecise, water motions. Like I said before, there's also a limit as to how much water she can absorb - six tubs worth of water. The purity of the water also comes into question. She cannot control dirty or diluted water effectively, it takes more energy out of her to do so. Fresh and Salt water is what she's best at controlling. The water's temperature also plays into how she can control it. The water has to be cold in order for her to control it. The hotter it is, the less capable she'll be able to control it. At boiling point, it's basically out of her range. This is largely irrelevant, but Meifeng cannot manipulate water, and absorb/expel it at the same time. Meifeng can only freeze what that is within three feet of herself. Above all else, Meifeng is just as effected by water as anyone else. She can still drown, freeze, etc, in water. But Meifeng managed to avoid drowning.[/INDENT] [color=red][b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]Electricity, and heat. Meifeng's power has altered her body in ways that are far from beneficial. Starting off, she's a lightning rod, basically. Her body is far more conductive, and electricity is seemingly attracted to her. In short, electrical damage is extra effective against her. Using her power has two detrimental effects. The first one is that using her power, in any way, quickly dehydrates her - at worst, this can leave her as dehydrated as an island castaway who's been deprived of water for weeks. As you may have realized, expelling absorbed water makes this much, much, worse. However, her power is connected to her hydration, too. The less hydrated she is, the less powerful she'll be. Freezing water also lowers her body temperature. Which, at it's most extreme, can lead to severe hypothermia and nobody wants to deal with that.[/INDENT] [h3][color=red][b][u]Other:[/u][/b] [/color][/h3] [INDENT][/INDENT] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZHrd6kZaic[/youtube] [/hider]
