Mei Li the Mienshao

Sage's Second Disciple Despite how much Sagefox favored Fleur, the Lopunny was actually not his first disciple. First, it was Sol, and then Mei Li. The Mienshao came from a distant land, growing up with a family of very wealthy humans. Her parents were vain and pompous, just as their masters were. Mei Li, not feeling she was tapping into her full potential, traveled alone and sought to make contact with the "untouched" parts of the world.

She eventually would find the Sanctuary, impressing Sage with her clerical abilities. She became his student and started to help around the haven. She would soon be asked by Sagefox to appease the spirits of the ruins that would come out at night. It was only him pacifying them until the Mienshao came by, and with her experience in this matter, she was far better at it than he was. Mei Li accepted the task, improving the quality of life in the haven by a ton.

Fleur's Arrival With Fleur becoming his next disciple, Mei Li grew jealous of the Lopunny. It was clear Sagefox was favoring her more because of the darkness plaguing her. Mei Li felt his darkness as well, and considered removing it entirely from Fleur, which would likely kill her. The Mienshao was worried that such darkness could manifest and threaten the lives of the pokemon in the haven. Of course, her ulterior motive was to impress Sagefox.

Personality Mei Li is a Mienshao who does not talk much. As much as she wanted to separate with her life of vanity, she could not help but inherit some of the traits of her parents, being haughty and rather grandiose at times. She is also quite passionate, wanting to impress others that have a higher status than her. Mei Li looks down on others who disgust her, seeing no redeeming qualities in them.

Forte/Skills The Mienshao has a history of clerical experience that has been passed down through many generations. She can communicate with spirits and even engage them physically if need be. Mei Li has proven to be able to tether ghosts to her body like Hearth, and she can also digest them if she swallows them. This is a very high level skill, showing Mei Li's prowess in dealing with spirits.

Mei Li also has the strange ability to fuse with a ghost that she absorbs! Mei Li's body changes to carry some of the features of the ghost she "digests," and she also acquires some of their abilities. This doesn't cause any harm to the ghost, even if they'd fused with her body, and Mei Li can release the ghost whenever she wishes.
