Meiying San is a major supporting character in *Forgotten Villainy*. She is the younger sister of Meilian San and the princess of the Tria Clan. She was born deaf, and uses sign language to communicate.

## Appearance

Meiying has long black hair with bangs and a bun in the back, tanned skin, and "haunting" black monolid eyes. Like her sister Meilian, she has a pretty rounded face with a sharper jawline and a flat profile. She has a small figure due to being physically weak. Since she is in the Tria Clan and she is royalty, she is usually in high-quality purple clothing. She wears small, purple, triangular earrings to signify her heritage.

## Personality

Meiying doesn't have a very strong set of morals - she mainly does what is best and easiest for her and those she cares about. In the conflict between the Circa and the Tria, she prefers to be a fence-sitter, since she hates Weirong San but she doesn't particularly care about the Circa Clan enough to do anything. This doesn't mean she is necessarily cold and uncaring - she is kind, but she has very low motivation to step out of line. Due to her deafness, others often underestimate her, and she has grown used to this and prefers to appear how others expect her to be: quiet, unassuming, and meek. In truth, she is quite clever and good at thinking on her feet.

## Abilities

* **Crossbow**: Meiying is very skilled at using the crossbow, and has very good aim.

## Relationships

### Meilian San

Meilian is Meiying's older sister. Meiying was the most important and trusted person to Meilian for most of Meilian's past life. Meiying was one of the only ones who knew of Meilian's true loathing of Weirong. Additionally, Meilian was never violent, cruel, or overly spiteful to Meiying, despite her personality being like that towards most others. Meilian learned sign language after it was discovered that her sister was deaf, and she continues to use it whenever Meiying is around, even if she is not speaking directly to Meiying. Meiying is glad that Meilian is so much happier and nicer now that she has amnesia, but she also somewhat misses the memories of the sister she lost. After losing her memory, Meilian did not remember who Meiying was, but Meiying became one of Meilian's most treasured and trusted allies once again.

### Weirong San

Weirong San is Meiying's father. Throughout her life, Weirong constantly ignored, neglected, and abused Meiying, as he viewed her as nothing but a spare for the Tria Power if Meilian were to somehow die. He was also annoyed by the fact that Meiying was born deaf and weak, making her lose all value in his eyes. Weirong did learn sign language after she was born, but this was only so that she could not say things behind his back. Due to all of this, Meiying never felt any respect or love towards Weirong, and she adopted the same attitude towards him as he feels towards her: that she doesn't care whether he lives or dies. Meiying also resented Weirong for his abuse towards her sister, Meilian.

### Adelana Ayika

Adelana and Meiying have a cordial relationship. They both care deeply for Meilian San and hate Weirong San, giving them common ground. However, there is also a bit of tension between them. Meiying, though she is glad that Meilian is happier and nicer now, she still somewhat resents Adelana for "taking away" the sister she had known before. Adelana is bitter towards Meiying for never taking any action against Weirong, despite claiming to be against him.
