## Outfit Story

### Shadow Dance

* For the Shadow Dance dress, most people think of her as "the ordinary girl who was chosen by the Houkai and became the Ruler".
But in reality, this normal girl has another identity - master of all Far East forms of Bushido, and expert of Itto-ryu from the North Coast.
* Itto-ryu of the North Coast is a type of Bushido, with every move aimed at depriving the enemy of their ability to fight and quickly bringing the battle to a close. Although this style of fighting is not effective against larger Honkai Beasts, Mei's fighting style will prove superior when facing humanoid type enemies.
* Mei studied sword fighting under her father, Raiden Ryoma. Being unusually talented, she received the right to teach Itto-ryu at a very young age and began to develop her own understanding of kendo.
Now, her father has already departed from her, but she still clearly remembers his instruction. She continues to hope that there will be a day when she gets to meet her strict, yet loving father once again.

### Vast Ocean

* Beachside of a small island in a tropical country. The women in swimsuit who play under the sunshine in the afternoon bring coolness and calmness in summer.

### Soul Symphony

* Mei always had a strange dream. In the dream, there is a girl wearing a attractive singing costume standing on the starlit stage. With the passionate music and shouting, the resonance of the soul is played. She doesn’t know why, Mei is a little yearning for the world of dreams.

### Hind of Noel

* Mei finally reunited with the Captain and her friends in the Clock Tower of Frozen Time only to realize that her outfit doesn't fit with the rest.
