Hong Meiling's usual outfit. It is olive green and reminiscent of traditional Chinese clothing.
Chinese Maid for the Day
Meiling stands in for Sakuya when she's away. Her maid outfit is similar but has a traditional Chinese flourish.
White Rainbow Gatekeeper
Meiling's Fantasy Rebirth outfit. It was fashioned at Kourindou based on the information in the journal.
Bunny Scarlet Devil Mansion Guard
Meiling's bunny-eared undercover agent costume. No one can sneak past this gatekeeper... probably!

I'm Hong Meiling, an ordinary youkai working as the gatekeeper at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Your qi is a little unusual... Oh, don't mind me.
Introduction
I'm Hong Meiling, an ordinary youkai working as the gatekeeper at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Your qi is a little unusual... Oh, don't mind me. It's nothing.
Purple Heart
I don't mind you hanging around, but make sure you stay away from my mistress, OK?
Blue Heart
Do you need something? I'm busy keeping watch for Lady Remilia.
Green Heart
Sometimes I take breaks, but I'm still doing my job properly! I'm still on guard even if I look like I'm asleep! ...Really!
Orange Heart
Do you want me to train you? You don't have to be shy. I can just add it into my own training schedule. Come on! We'll start with basic physical training. I'm going to work you hard, so you'd better be prepared!
Pink Heart
When I see how dedicated you are, it makes me feel like I have to work harder too. Not just for my mistress and the mansion, but for all of Gensokyo... Maybe it's my duty as the best gatekeeper in all of Gensokyo!
Summer
When I'm standing around under the hot sun like this, it makes me wish an ice fairy would come by. I bet my mistress is splashing around in a pool right about now...
Login
You're pretty weird, coming in just to see my face every day. Of course I'm happy to see you, but don't get in the way of my work, OK?

This is the result of my daily training. I'm brimming with qi.
Return
I've returned—time to get back to guarding the gate.

Nothing beats a good training session where you get to move your body!
Home 2
Don't you get bored? You can come here all you want, but I have to focus on my work. I guess I can still talk with you though, and of course, I'll help you train if you want to!
Home 3
...I'm not napping―I'm just focusing my qi. I'm still keeping my guard up, which is how I noticed your presence.
Reaction 1
I'm not sleeping! ...I'm really not sleeping, OK?!

I'm doing my job as a gatekeeper right now. I won't budge from my position no matter what you do.

What is it? I'll listen if you want to talk.
Task
Looks like a task needs doing... I can't move from my spot, so I'll let you deal with it.
Task Complete
When did you finish that task? You're pretty good!
Mail
Looks like some mail came. Could you take a look at it for me?
Errand Finished
It looks like someone's back from an errand. I wonder how they did.
Start of Battle
Sometimes offense is the best defense!
Mid-Wave
Let's go as far as we can!
Victory
With the pain you've suffered, you should now know that I am not just a simple gatekeeper.
Defeat
How am I going to report this failure to the mistress?!

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.
Attacks
Colorful Rain
Hong Meiling's Spread Shot. She gathers the qi circulating around her and disperses it with great force. However, it is not as powerful as it could be, because Meiling is easily distracted.
Bullets

True Force Bullet
Sincere Force Bullet
Vacuum Force Bullet
Star-Pulse Force Bullet
True Star-Pulse Force Bullet
Fragrant Wave
Hong Meiling's Focus Shot. She draws an arc with her arms and makes the qi around her concentrate in her hands before unleashing it in a powerful wave. Meiling says her shot is instantaneous, but others say differently.

Qi Sign: Earth Sky Dragon Kick
Hong Meiling's Spell Card. She focuses qi into her flying kick and then lets bullets fly in all directions. Her regular Earth Dragon Wave does not hit enemies in the air, so she added the Sky Dragon Kick to improve it.

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.

Skills
Skill: Martial Arts
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.
