Mei-Fang

**Mei-Fang** is a playable character in the *Arcana Heart* series. She is a female humanoid robot created by Dr. Mei Ling Hua, who she spend the first game searching for. She has a rather friendly relationship with Kira Daidouji, a colleague of her Master.

Her Arcana is **Lang-Gong**, the Arcana of Fire.

## Bio

*Mei-Fang is a marvel of Elemental Science. With a body engineered out of a power substance known as "ether" and a bone structure made of an ivory-ether frame. Powered by the revolutionary celestial drive, Mei-Fang is the ultimate artificial life form.*

## Appearance

Mei-Fang is a tall, fair-skinned android inspired by her creator, Mei Ling. She has a very curvy frame and large breasts. Her sharp green eyes are highlighted with red markings, and she has blue hair with her shoulder-length forelocks layered over her mostly neat bangs. A few strands remain loose and on the side of her head is a red clip. She wears large white frilly bun covers with a long grey cord hanging from each side, making them resemble thin pigtails.

She wears a white and red one-piece that resembles a bathing suit with goldenrod straps beneath the chest. A peach Chinese-style bolero with large angular shoulder pads is worn over this with yellow detail and large, red rounded pieces around her lower arm with white detail, matching the attachments on her lower leg and ankles. This is paired with peach and yellow hand pieces and angular stockings, along with navy shoes reminiscent of loafers.

She would also wear a red Chinese dress (or an Rosenberg Academy Junior High outfit as of *AH3*) in one of her victory animations.

## Personality

The cool and collected Mei-Fang has a serious disposition and skills to match. She is extremely determined when it comes to completing a task or helping Mei Ling, and she is shown to feel comfortable when she's around her. She struggles when it comes to expressing herself and doesn't appear to have much emotion, much to Mei Ling's displeasure, and she doesn't really understand human behaviors and why they result to things like violence like they do.

However, she is also shown to be naturally kind, offering food to those in need or agreeing to assist them if she knows the person or is capable of helping out. She is very wise.

## Story

### Arcana Heart

Mei-Fang noticed that Mei Ling has went missing one day, leaving a note that told her not to look for her. Feeling worried (in her own way) for her master's safety, Mei-Fang disobeys the order and goes out to find her.

* *While I stand in awe of your desire to help others without hesitation, I must insist that you let the professor and I, as representatives of Rosenberg, handle this incident.* (*Heart Aino*)
* *You, of the Japanese Branch of the Celestial Union, focus your efforts on the planar rifts. Leave the rest to us.* (*Saki Tsuzura*)
* *According to the data that I have gathered, the source of the planar rifts is none other than the Drexler Institute. Stand aside; we will take care of these incidents.* (*Kamui Tokinomiya*)
* *According to my calculations, celestial stones often emerge from planar rifts. Konoha, retainer of the Millennial Guardian, I must ask you to step aside.* (*Konoha*)
* *How about we make a trade? In return for that celestial stone, I'll give you all of the meat buns you can eat. So, how about it?* (*Konoha with Celestial Stone*)
* *I just realized that this is my first mission in Japan. We're on an equal footing now.* (*Maori Kasuga*)
* *If you gain possession of the celestial stones, your wish will be granted... I can see why you finally decided to actually do something...for a change...* (*Lilica Felchenerow*)
* *Puppeteer, I will only warn you this once. If you interfere with my mission, you will be eliminated.* (*Lieselotte Achenbach*)
* *Demon lord Michelangelo and your thrall, Yoriko Yasuzumi, this will be my only warning. Do not interfere with my mission to take possession of the celestial stones.* (*Yoriko Yasuzumi*)
* *Fiona Mayfield, it appears your ether concentrations have risen considerably since we last met. It seems that your transformation to an ethereal form is almost complete.* (*Fiona Mayfield*)
* *Greetings, Branch Head Petra Lagerkvist. We are currently in the midst of our appointed mission, but we have yet to have any success locating the celestial stones.* (*Petra Johanna Lagerkvist*)
* *Zenia Valov. What is the status of your current assignment?* (*Zenia Valov*)

* *Clarice de Lanza. What is the status of your current assignment?* (*Clarice de Lanza*)

* *Although it appears that you are still in training, I cannot help but be intrigued by your style of martial arts. I'd like to go up against you again.* (*Akane Inuwaka*)
* *It appears you have earned the right to attend to the Millennial Guardian. I suppose congratulations are in order.* (*Nazuna Inuwaka*)

* *Miss Weiss. What is the status of your current assignment?* (*Weiss*)
* *Miss Eko, I believe you were told to stay in school on standby. Furthermore, didn't you receive strict orders not to draw Kazuhiro when out in public?* (*Eko*)
* *Eko's possession of a celestial stone confirmed. This was not in our plans. You are in great danger now. Please give me the stone and return to the Academy immediately.* (*Eko with Celestial Stone*)
* *Scharlachrot, your sudden disappearance has had everyone worried. I am relieved that you seem to be unharmed.* (*Scharlachrot*)
* *Possession of a celestial stone by the target confirmed. I apologize for being so abrupt, but you must give me your celestial stone immediately.* (*With Celestial Stone*)
* *It seems that you have successfully gained possession of a celestial stone. Congratulations. I will continue my search for another stone.* (*Rosenberg member with Celestial Stone*)

- *Yes. I've been here for only a short time, but I've gained a great deal of "valuable life experience."* (*Heart Aino*)

- *Thank you, but refrain from worrying about my well-being. Everybody here has been very kind to me.* (*Saki Tsuzura*)

- *Ah, the Millennial Guardian. I was told that you've fought the Drexler Institute in the past. That means...* (*Kamui Tokinomiya*)

- *The development of more satisfying and flavorful meat buns has been progressing to our satisfaction. Here, please enjoy the results of our latest improvements.* (*Konoha*)

- *If you are willing to give up on a celestial stone for a meat bun, who am I to argue otherwise? At least now I know I can buy you off cheap...* (*Konoha with Celestial Stone*)

- *I know nothing of such things. All I know is that the Drexler Institute requires the professor's vast knowledge for their research. I'm merely an appendage to the professor...* (*Maori Kasuga*)

- *The celestial stones? I am currently searching for them myself, but have yet to detect any... Perhaps I should try elsewhere.* (*Lilica Felchenerow*)

- *Professor, it seems that I have been elevated from "trash" to "hi-tech toy". ...I suppose we should be happy.* (*Lieselotte Achenbach*)

- *Your assumption is based on faulty reasoning. My energy source is irrelevant to my mission. Should I find the celestial stones, I will take possession of them, as per my orders.* (*Yoriko Yasuzumi*)

- *My creation isn't relevant here, but I'll try to help. Searching database for ways of converting the ethereal into the corporeal...0 matches. I'm afraid that I cannot be of help.* (*Fiona Mayfield*)

- *Understood. Dealing with the planar rifts, securing the celestial stones, and monitoring the Drexler Institute are all important. You can rely on me to fulfill my mission.* (*Petra Johanna Lagerkvist*)

- *Please keep your pathetic attempts at denigration to yourself. Also keep in mind that the professor and I did not come from Rosenberg simply for your amusement.* (*Zenia Valov*)

- *As long as you insist on underestimating my abilities, I will continue to humiliate you in battle. I advise you to lose your obviously undeserved conceit.* (*Zenia Valov with Celestial Stone*)

- *I-Is that so...? It is surprisingly gratifying that my existence brings you so much joy. As it's only been three years since my creation, there is much I have yet to learn...* (*Elsa la Conti*)

- *So, you are trying to create what most humans would consider a "magical creature"? I admit, I'd very much like to see that. I look forward to seeing how your work progresses.* (*Clarice de Lanza*)

- *The professor was just talking about this very subject. She said that any limitation can be overcome with persistence and effort. Perhaps you should heed her advice.* (*Dorothy Albright*)

- *Interesting. Your movements do not correspond to any fighting style I've ever seen. I suppose I should be more diligent in my training should I have to face you again.* (*Akane Inuwaka*)

- *This is hardly the time to ponder such questions. We should deal with the situation at hand first and then worry about the cause afterwards.* (*Nazuna Inuwaka*)

- *You'd have to ask the professor about that. Besides, I am only able to function normally here in the physical world. I doubt that I'd be able to exist in the spiritual realm.* (*Angelia Avallone*)

- *I apologize, but I cannot comply with your request. My mission is to gain possession of the celestial stones. Also, the professor requires them for her research.* (*With Celestial Stone*)

- *Thank you ma'am. I appreciate your confidence in me. I will continue on with my assignment.* (*Rosenberg member with Celestial Stone*)

- *So you were the one who defeated Kira? I am aware of Kira's recent boorish behavior. The professor said she needed a beating, but... I cannot allow your deed to go unpunished. I will beat you as you beat her.* (*Kira Defeated*)

- *So you were the one who defeated Catherine? The professor did say that it'd be a good idea for Catherine to take a break from her research... The professor has said many times that I was not created for the purpose of cleaning up garbage such as you. However, this time I will make an exception.* (*Catherine Defeated*)

- *Opponent incapacitated. Now exiting battle mode. You deserve no more than this. Now I must be going.*

- *It isn't always easy to do something on behalf of a friend. I admire your loyalty.*

- *Though you may sacrifice yourself for your ideals, I too have ideals that I hold dear. I will not concede defeat.*

* *The Professor did not assemble a losing robot. She assembled a winning robot.*
* *Combat functions no longer active. Winning status confirmed. Not-surprised status also confirmed.*
* *I am the product of modern technology and four thousand years of Chinese wisdom. You cannot beat me.*
* *Initial scans reveal your injuries will take at least two weeks to heal. Do you need medical assistance?*
* *The Professor told me that pain is accompanied by learning. Did you learn not to challenge me yet?*
* *Why do we need to settle our differences with our fists? You humans perplex me.*
* *The Professor told me that accepting defeat is part of being human. You are identified as "very human."*
* *Victory was statistically in my favor. Victory is always statistically in my favor.*

* *I am programmed to win at combat. I am programmed to win at game shows. I am programmed to win at laundry.*
* *If you choose to initiate combat with me, then I must respond with combat.*
* *Do not exceed your limits. Robot bodies are stronger than people's.*
* *The same model as me? I had no information that such an entity was created. I should do more research.* (*Herself*)
* *You have the same casing as me, but I have a heart. The Professor gave it to me.* (*Herself*)
* *An identical replica of my hardware? Initiating : copyright infringement lawsuit.* (*Herself*)

- *You have no heart, no soul. Though you may match me in appearance, your lack of empathy and compassion makes you nothing more than an inferior clone.* (*vs. herself*)

- *I thank you for your support in battle as well as the Spiritual Engine. I am in your debt.* (*Arcana Blaze Finish*)

- *This was the result of 4000 years of Chinese innovation and the professor's superior scientific knowledge. You will never defeat me. Ever.* (*Critical Heart Finish*)

- *Heart Aino, could you tell me what "love" is? Is it nothing more than a battlefield of broken hearts? ...Ah, professor... it seems that I have much yet to learn.* (*vs. Heart Aino*)

- *I cannot allow myself to be defeated by you... I can sense your doubt and worry... this training session was somewhat disappointing.* (*vs. Saki Tsuzura*)

- *I hope that we can continue to be friends after this. As you are the Millennial Guardian. I fear that it will be our fate to clash again in the future.* (*vs. Kamui Tokinomiya*)

- *Although I was victorious this time, your spirited effort deserves to be rewarded. Pleas try these meat buns. I'm confident that they will be superior to my past creations.* (*vs. Konoha*)

- *Linking the four sisters to use as weapons... truly fascinating. I was able to accumulate a great deal of useful data. You have... my gratitude.* (*vs. Maori Kasuga*)

- *The professor is most interested in your skates... It seems she would like to include something like them in my next upgrade... Although, I fail to see the necessity.* (*vs. Lilica Felchenerow*)

- *Lieselotte Achenbach. The professor is quite interested in that doll of yours... Would you mind if we took it to study?* (*vs. Lieselotte Achenbach*)

- *Yoriko Yasuzumi and the demon lord Michelangelo, it was an honor to have fought you. I'd like to see the demon's true power next time we meet.* (*vs. Yoriko Yasuzumi*)

- *Kira Daidouji, thank you very much. In order to repay, in some small way, our debt to you, I have given this match my all.* (*vs. Kira Daidouji*)

- *Your ether concentrations have increased while your physical existence is fading... It seems your spiritualization has progressed even further.* (*vs. Fiona Mayfield*)

- *The professor has a very high opinion of you, as do I. I will do everything within my power to ensure that you live up to our expectations.* (*vs. Petra Johanna Lagerkvist*)

- *What is it you seek beyond never-ending battle? Even I have come to the realization that justice does not come vulgar displays of power.* (*vs. Zenia Valov*)

- *I've never encountered an exorcist as powerful as yourself. It appears that there is still much for me to learn. I must consult with the professor immediately.* (*vs. Elsa la Conti*)

- *No matter how advanced one's abilities may be, I refuse to be defeated by someone as conceited as you.* (*vs. Clarice de Lanza*)

- *I believe I've already pointed out the myriad of weaknesses in your infernal contraption, and you have yet to address them... The outcome of our battle was hardly surprising.* (*vs. Catherine Kyoubashi*)

- *You must be the "Phantom of Oz" that Interpol is searching for. I am going to have to place you under arrest and-- She... disappeared? I guess her reputation is truly deserved.* (*vs. Dorothy Albright*)

- *Developing a fighting style based on your natural abilities... I'm quite impressed. However, you are no match for my superior skills and technique.* (*vs. Akane Inuwaka*)

- *The ninjutsu of the Inuwakamaru is truly formidable. But it appears that you rely on your spiritual powers to the detriment of your physical strength.* (*vs. Nazuna Inuwaka*)

- *Though you may be a purely ethereal form, my battle routines have already adapted. You will need to do far more if you hope to defeat me.* (*vs. Angelia Avallone*)

- *Weiss, I must acknowledge your strength. Artificial or not, everyone must do all they can with the abilities granted them. I am no exception to that.* (*vs. Weiss*)

- *Your ability is quite unique, Eko. To be able to channel ethereal power into physical objects and control them...* (*vs. Eko*)

- *The Aesir, Scharlachrot. Your abilities may out-strip mine, but there will always a way for me to emerge victorious.* (*vs. Scharlachrot*)

- *I'm currently enrolled in Rosenberg Academy, but given the opportunity I would definitely like to go to Metaphysics again. Professor, may I?* (*vs. Minori Amanohara*)
