Mei Mei was Ling Yi's friend who she accidentally poisoned and murdered in an attempt to simply put her to sleep so that Ling Yi could take her place with Virginia on the Kerberos.
Biography[]
Haunting Ling Yi[]
Mei Mei appears to Ling Yi in a memory, though she isn't quite sure how much of it is real, asking if Mei Mei is human or ghost. Ling Yi warns her to leave immediately, to which Mei Mei replies that her ship doesn't depart until later. Before she can leave, she wants to show Ling Yi her kimono, the same kimono that Ling Yi wears aboard the Kerberos. Mei Mei is overwhelmed with excitement. While she waits in England for the ship to America, they will teach her dance lessons and Japanese. As Ling Yi begins to question why this is happening again, Mei Mei starts writhing on the ground in pain after drinking Ling Yi's tea, which was meant to only put her to sleep but instead kills her. Ling Yi is immediately regretful of her actions and holds Mei Mei as she breathes her final breath. With no other option, Ling Yi and Yuk Je put Mei Mei's body in a crate and drop it in the river.[1]
