### Appearance

As a child, Meirong would wear the traditional red and black Longpao that all royals except the Emperor would wear that featured flowers, dragons and waves on it. Along with that, she would wear her hair in a topknot and the Doran Clan's traditional hairpin worn by the Crown Prince or Princess.

As an adult, Meirong usually wears her hair in a loose ponytail and a tank top tucked into high-rise jeans. She only ever wears her topknot, hairpin, and Longpao on formal occasions such as her weddings or formal dinners hosted by her father. She always keeps a katana strapped to her back and two grenades on either side of her waist.

On her coronation day and her weddings, Meirong would wear the Empress's Fengguan and traditional dress.

As empress, Meirong wore the traditional Emperor's Hairpin and yellow Longpao. She continued to wear a katana strapped to her back.

### Personality

Meirong is extremely driven, frequently training and improving her skills despite being considered one of the best fighters within the clan. As a child, she longed for respect from both her father and the rest of her clan. As an adult, she doesn't seem to particularly care either way, only choosing to stay in the clan and become the next head in order to ensure her husbands and wife get to live a life of luxury.

Meirong always maintains a relaxed composure and rarely seems to take anything she does particularly seriously even though she does. When she retook Fort Brooks, Meirong looked almost insultingly relaxed to the soldiers, but in the moment she was analyzing her surroundings carefully.

### History

Meirong was born while Jianyu was living with Lilah and Beatrice Wilkes, conceived during one of his 'business trips.' Even at a young age, Meirong understood that her father didn't love her, although she didn't know why. Due to her father usually being absent, Meirong spent most of her time with her mother. However, Xiurong was extremely sick, so Meirong spent a lot of her youth in her mother's bedroom.

Xiurong eventually died when Meirong was seven, and her grandmother Jianying became her new parental figure. Jianying was kind to Meirong, but was also tough, knowing the hardships her granddaughter would face upon becoming the next head. Meirong said she likely spent most of her time training, spending what little off time she had sleeping or eating. Despite this, she was quite close with her grandmother, because Meirong understood that the training she was undergoing was necessary for her succession as head.

During this time, Jianyu became hypercritical of his daughter, frequently berating her for anything even slightly wrong while never praising anything good she did. This attitude was shared by most members of the clan, who weren't fans of the idea of Meirong taking the throne someday. Because of this, Meirong pushed herself to the extreme.

When her grandmother died at age fourteen, Meirong was completely devastated. She spent six months straight training before fully breaking down, screaming and crying inside the training room.

Jianyu saw her during this breakdown. Meirong describes it as the only time he comforted her. He placed his hand on her back and assured her than Jianying and Xiurong loved her dearly and encouraged her to keep training.

On Meirong's sixteenth birthday, Meng Bojing began to court her. Their marriage was arranged, as Bojing was the son of the highest ranked Second Wife noble, making him one of the only men worthy of marrying a Doran Clan royal. Meirong did fall in love with him during their courtship, and when they got married a year later, Meirong said that she viewed it as a love marriage.

A few months after their wedding, Meirong met Quan Chu, a low level Doran clan member. She described her feelings as immediate and intense.

Although she could have had an affair without any serious repercussions, she decided to inform Bojing of these feelings and asked for permissions to pursue further. He agreed to their courtship, and a year and a half later, Meirong entered her second marriage with Quan.
