.:History:.Born in China, Mae Li was the unwanted daughter of an impoverished mother and father. She never got to know her parents since she was given a name and sold to a trader that was bound for England. Once arriving in London she was given over to the care of Jia Chen, a kitchen assistant in a Chinese merchant’s household. The household was a rough one to grow up in, Mae was the companion to the merchant’s daughter Ai. While being a companion to Ai, Mae learned English as well as speaking Chinese.
Ai and Mae grew up together until they were the age of seven. Ai was sent off to another Chinese house to go to school everyday when Mae was put to work in the kitchen as a scullery maid. Mae instantly saw this change as a betrayal and acted out one day by slipping salt into one of the family’s dishes. Unfortunately for her, she was caught and the family was plagued by a sour meal. For punishment she was rejected from playing with Ai. Up until this moment the two girls were still able to play together each night right before Ai would go to sleep. Mae kept her head down and continued being a scullery maid for many years. She eventually moved up to being a cooking assistant.
Jia, the woman who Mae had been passed off to when she arrived in London, was the woman who became her mother. Having never met her biological mother, Jia has taken care of Mae the best she could in the position she was in. Every night she would make sure Mei was cleaned before going to bed each night so she was a decent companion for the boss’s daughter. Their relationship over the years has been both of hardship and loving. With the two being cooking assistants together, Jia began to show Mae how to cook traditional Chinese dishes. The two spoke only Chinese to each other in the kitchen, which gave Mae a sense of home being in the kitchen.
At the age of eighteen, Mae left the family she had been working for most of her life to find work elsewhere. She was not on the streets of London long before she was seen as an exotic woman that men wanted to possess and use. She spent many months being chased and abused before finding sanctuary at the Gilded Rose under Elijah Hamilton. Under Elijah Hamilton Mae was able to feel safe and began to put her foot forward to helping Mr. Hamilton run the Gilded Rose. Mae quickly fell into her position very well and has become hated by the other women at the Gilded Rose for being in a favorable position for so long. She has been in this position for the last ten years, and she doesn’t plan on giving it up anytime soon.
Mae has been romantically interested in Elijah for as long as she can remember. It did not begin as soon as started at the club, but well into the years of her becoming his right hand. The two of them have been romantically involved on and off for a few years now. She hopes she can continue being the favorite and his right hand, but also potentially win his heart.
