Biography[]
As a young man Chai Longwei, a member of the Chai family, traveled to the west on business trips. On one of his voyages he was effected by the evil seed. The strong evil energy gave him vivid hallucinations and the sailormen had to lock him inside the captain's cab. After that, the hallucinations ceased and he was sent back home and feared to ever see the sea again. He got married and settled down.
It wasn't until the birth of his second child, a daughter he named Mei-Xing that he finally dared to sail the seas again. What he didn't knew was that Mei-Xing had been effected by this one event and a very small amount of the evil energy that had lied within her father's soul had passed over to her. This tied the girl to always act sad and depressed. This sorrow wasn't very strong however and the love of her family kept her happy enough to go on with her life.
It was her elder brother Jiang who trained her with the Jian (chinese sword) from early age. But her mother was the one who taught her how to fight with the crecent shaped blade.
Her father made many voyages to the western world, when her brother turned sixteen and Mei-Xing was twelve, their father took her brother to join him on his voyages. For many years these trips where successes and Mei-Xing became very fascinated by this distant place. But at their fifth journey her father and brothers ship never returned.
Mei-Xing was filled with grief after this. She had never had any good connection to her mother so she was often alone, and as the ones who made her happy now were gone, the sadness within her soul grew.
After some time she started to work as a guardian at other noble family manisions and soon began to work at the palace of the Yan Family. By order of Yan Wujin she was spending her time as a personal guard for his daughter and son, Leixia and Leixin.
She often spent her time sparring with Leixia when her mother couldn't, or when Leixia simply needed an easier opponent. She was even taught some moves from Xianghua herself. But most of her time Mei-Xing spent watching over Leixin, as he wasn't any good at fighting and often just sat reading while his sister and mother trained. Mei-Xing was set to watch over him.
She made fast friends with the two of them and soon they became like a family to her. But when Leixia soon fled away, wanting to be a warrior herself. Mei-Xing had deemed Leixia as a younger sister and she was very worried.
After that Xianghua received a letter from her friend Maxi about Leixia being safe traveling with him, Mei-Xing insisted in going to the west and bring her back. Xianghua whould love to do this herself but she was worried about leaving her son behind. So Mei-Xing left the Yan household and went west, but not just to bring back Leixia, also she hoped to find out what may happened to her father and brother's ship along the way.
