other physical traits;
A small tatoo of a cartoon birdie behind her ear, which people can really only see if she puts her hair up.
clothing style;
She's usually found in a pair of jeans and a cute t-shirt. She wears a lot of tennis shoes or a pair of converse or brightly colored flats. Since she's also often on the chilly side, she most always has a sweatshirt, zip-hoodie or a jacket and can also be seen with a small scarf or her flap-mittens. She doesn't usually carry a purse around with her, but just keeps her belongings in her pockets. She does own purses but finds that they're sort of a hastle to carry them around.
what i really meant to say[/font][/blockquote]
is that i'm sorry for the way i am.
good traits;
She's really nice.. though sometimes a bit too nice and loves to be helpful. She's more outgoing than shy most of the time and loves laughing. She's a fun person to be around. Mei is a good friend to those she's friends with and is usually willing to make friends with anyone. She's pretty good at Quidditch, mainly as a Beater and can handle herself in the game. She can also take care of herself having grown up with two older brothers, who when they weren't messing with her, were always sticking up for her.
flaws;
Though sometimes she can be, she isn't too forgiving when it comes to things. She may say that it's okay, but really she's thinking that it really isn't and that she still has a problem with it. She hides a lot of her feeling. Especially when it comes to guys because she usually ends up being better friends with them and doesn't want to mess anything up. She's not a big fan of change and can be a little stubborn before things start to warm up to her. She doesn't study too much and would really rather be out flying or playing the muggle sport of football or some quidditch with her brothers when she gets to see them.
habits;
She bites her nails a lot if she nervous, anxious or bored, she knows it's a bad habit, but she can't seem to break it. Sometimes she also has a tendency to play with her necklace or rings that she's wearing at the time. She'll bite her lip a lot and also tends to smile a lot.

place of birth; Sydney, Australia

brief history;
Meilana was born in Sydney, Australia on July 17th to her parents April, a muggle, and Charlie, a pure-blood wizard and, without much a choice, was stuck with two older brothers who she loves.. at least now that she's older. When Sydney was three their whole family packed up and moved to London. They were all very content with their lives there, but soon disaster struck and their home was ambushed by a small group of death eaters. They all managed to get out safely and to a hiding places, but lost many of their things to the attack. They returned to the home a few weeks later to find it abandoned and destroyed. So, finding a few belongings which were still okay, they took them and left the place behind along with many memories of good times.
They arrived in London, moving into a house on the outskirts, provided by the Order for them. Her father, Charlie was in it and when they found out what happend they supplied them with a house to hide out in so they could keep the family safe, Charlie himself only leaving to help out the Order and go on a few missions. Meilana was too young to remember much of any of this but she's heard the story a few times and is pretty familar with it. The family hid until the news of Lord Voldemort's death, letting them to finally leave the house after they made sure that it was safe enough.
Both of her brothers attended Hogwarts and so did she, taking her small gray kitten, Cupcake, with her every year. She's very close with her family, especially her brothers, her Grandma Belle and her Aunt Macy. Everything's been going okay since and she only hopes that it will stay that way for, at the least, a while longer. She's in her sixth year at Hogwarts and would like to be the next Professional Beater for her favorite Quidditch Team, The Holyhead Harpies. Although she's a Beater herself, her favorite player is Shelby Slayter and she was sad to see that she had retired so soon. Though if that doesn't happen and she doesn't get on a Professional team, she thinks she would settle for Care of Magical Creatures Proffessor or an Auruor for the Ministry.
