This took too long. Also, Vita is making her sister so yeah. ^^;
• Name: Lin Mei
• Species: Jiangshi
• Gender: Female
• Age: 39; physically 19.
• Appearance:
I just don't like pasting my rough sketches directly into a post. ^^; Her hair is white, eyes are red and her skin is very pale with a subtle blueish tint to it. Also, I like citrus scents, especially lemon, orange and grapefruit. Nothing beats the smell of a homecooked meal, though.
• Occupation: B-Movie Actress
• Personality: Overblown and enthusiastic, and very much a ham who likes playing up her
~spooookiness~. Even before she was made undead, she was a fan of low budget horror movies, and she has embraced her undead nature with great enthusiasm because of this. She's a nice enough person, though, and is generally rather cheerful and a bit silly. She cares very deeply about her younger sister Lin Wei, and will do anything to make her happy; however, she's also a bit overprotective and can be a bit... Vindictive towards anyone who makes her cry.
• Bio: The elder sister of Lin Wei, and just like her little sister she had always dreamed of getting into show business. In her case, she had always wanted to become an actress... Specifically a star of low budget horror movies. When she was given the chance to sign a contract, it was like a dream come true. Even though she was too excited to read the fineprint properly, she made sure to insist that her sister was given a music contract by the same company. Things seemed to be going well until the two were caught in an unfortunate accident and... Died. And then, just before a post-mortem could be done, got back up. She
really should have read the fineprint, as it turns out that the contract extended even beyond their deaths. As it turned out, their manager wasn't some evil sleazy type, he was just some wizard who was too cheap to pay for life insurance, so they were still free to do their own thing afterwards.
Lin Mei didn't take long to embrace her new undead state. If anything, it proved a real boost to her career, as she made a much more believable horror movie character now that she actually was a Jiangshi. Sure, she wasn't some household name due to the films she chose to act in, but she still had a rather sizable cult following. Her sister, however, hadn't been doing so well... Even after a decade and a half had passed, she was still playing in tiny, dingy clubs and didn't even have a debut album released. Lin Mei hated seeing how upset this was making her once perpetually cheerful sister, and... Ended up doing something rather foolish to help her out. Somehow, she ended up coming into a lot of money, more than she usually got from her acting job, which she used to not only buy Lin Wei a new guitar but help fund the recording of an actual album. What her little sister doesn't know is just how she got this money... In order to help her sister, Lin Mei ended up approaching a rather questionable movie company and, under a pseudonym, made a... Rather adult film. The pay was quite substantial even if the film was doomed to obscurity, but even then she still has the nagging fear that one day making such a thing will come back to bite her. But... It's fine for now, really. Her sister is happy again, which is what really counts.
• Stuff you often carry: Other than essentials like her clothes, hat, purse and a pen for signing autographs, Lin Mei doesn't really carry much of interest.
• Type of magic, if any: Whilst she has potential, Lin Mei has never actually bothered learning any magic aside from a simple spell that replicates the effects of dry ice.
• Anything else: ...I think it's obvious what kind of film she starred in to get money to help her sister, right? I don't need to elaborate, right? ^^;
