**Mei Liva** is a vampire planeswalker from Pguqium. Rather than blood, she feeds on memories, with a particular taste for secrets. After the events of Villains: The Musical, she is working with Saia Evigal to eradicate evidence of her existence from the Multiverse.

## Tavathi's Curse

Mei Liva studied in Poquilos, the floating capital city of Pguqium. At the age of 19, she joined a mission to try to recover a sunken ship, only to find themselves meeting the same fate: sunk by Tavathi, Pguqium's god of the unknown.

Tavathi could sense the unignited spark in Mei, and spared her, "blessing" her with his boon instead. Tavathi's curse gave her several powers, such as being able to turn herself or other objects into fog and being able to steal memories, but also many drawbacks; needing to steal memories to stay alive, a weakness to silver and sunlight, and the voice of Tavathi in her head at all times, demanding secrets.

After two years of laying low and stealing far more than secrets, Mei encountered another planeswalker on Pguqium. Stealing his memories of other planes ignited her own spark, accidentally causing her to steal his entire memory as she vanished to Usona. When Tavathi attacked Poquilos shortly after, the city found its interplanar defender dead from the mindrip. The city sank to the bottom of the ocean, and the rest of the plane followed.

## Villains: The Musical

Mei Liva, three years after leaving home and never looking back, has found her way to Laptew in search of ways to cure her curse. While Tavathi's voice is not nearly as loud on other planes, it persists, as do the drawbacks of his curse. She believes the Tome of Divines, an ancient spellbook in the Vaults of Kovach, may hold the secret to breaking the curse for good.

## Rail War

A year after her heist on Laptew, Mei Liva is looking for revenge, and maybe a bit of redemption, and Anne's mission offers her a chance for both. She's eager to take out her anger on Feraguo's eldritch horror, since she can't do the same to her own. Mei brings a variety of expertise to the gang; mind-reading, information-gathering, getting into and out of dangerous situations, and protecting her allies' minds from the horrors' madness.

## The Arena

Mei is called to the Arena by Reyhsia in 4568 AR to assist with a number of memory related issues. While there, she removes all memories of Saia from Reyhsia, meets another vampire who offers her some help in Hanska Myemii, and nearly unleashes Tavathi on the Arena after being shot with a silver bullet by Skylar Rolt. After being attacked by Saia, Mei seeks help from Rudara, and begins secretly assisting her against Saia.

## Sisters of the Traveling Planes

In 4574 AR, Karina Oblay and Flynn Skara find Mei on Usona, looking to have hurtful memories taken from them. While the two girls did not know Mei very well, she had heard much about them from Reyhsia over the years, and entertained their plans. Rather than immediately take their requests to remove their memories, Mei gave them a short tour of Usona, explaining its history to them: That the denizens of Usona had once sought a similar thing, and received it. But they would find forgetting their sorrows did not cure sorrow, for some the same problems would return to them, for others they would just find more problems they wished to be rid of. And so they would forget, again and again and again, until for many of them, they just became shadows of their former selves. After her tour, Mei returned to their offer. She would take their memories, if they still wished, but only this once. Karina chose to keep her memories.

## Ophorio

In 4592 AR, Mei becomes the first planeswalker to planeswalk directly into Oirohpo, the parallel mirror world of Ophorio, as the two planes begin to overlay each other. Mei has no sympathy for the light-based lifeforms that populate the mirror planes, and delights in converting them into her students even as the worlds fall apart.
