Character Information
Temperament: Kousa
Kousa refers to the fine yellow sand that is carried by the wind from the continent. It fills the sky like a mist and can even block out the sun, which makes it an appropriate temperament for Meiling, who is the gatekeeper for the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Meiling is endowed with Wood Phase, from her generous and persistent nature, and Star Essence, from her laidback personality. The strong and kind Wood Phase resists Water Phase, because water nourishes wood, but it is weak to Metal Phase, because metal carves wood. The diverse and uncooperative Star Essence resists the cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence, but it is weak to the charming and arrogant Sun Essence.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of using qi
The energy within the body and the aura outside of it... Normally, qi is invisible to the eye, but Meiling's ability makes it visible―or at least Meiling can see it. While this ability should only refer to the qi within her, the teachings of qigong, or qi arts, from the continent say that inner and outer qi are in continuous flow. Through Meiling's own qi, she should be able to read the qi around her and even the qi of other people... Whether she actually does so or not is a different story.

Qi Sign: Earth Sky Dragon Kick

- Dragon Wave & Kick
- Earth Dragon Wave
- Great Earth Dragon Wave
- Sky Dragon Kick
- Great Sky Dragon Kick

Crimson Earth-Shaking Star Pulse
Hong Meiling's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). It is based on Star Sign: Earth-Shaking Star Pulse and is full of Meiling's identity as the guard of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She manipulates her own qi to create a crimson aura, making her look more like a vampire's retainer than a Tai Chi Chuan practitioner. You might think that this would make her better at her job as a guard... but you would be wrong.
Bullets
- Crimson Wave
- Anti-Reporter Forefist
- Anti-Reporter Star Fist
- Earth-Shaking Bullet
- Star-Pulse Bullet

Skills

Also called kung fu. Excellent physical skills and superior fighting techniques are the basics for gatekeeping.
Skill: Will of the Gatekeeper
You shouldn't ignore the gatekeeper like that! Guarding the gate is her duty and her reason for being.
Skill: Move One, Move All
According to the teachings of Tai Chi Chuan, all movements are connected. Whether you are reading your opponent's movements or protecting yourself, the concept is the same.
