.:Name:. Mei Sinclair
.:Nick Name:. n/a
.:Rank:. Lower Class
.:Age:. 27

.:Physical Appearance:. Femininity isn't something Mei is even remotely interested in, she isn't one for wishing to  conform to gender roles, though given the era she lives in, it is difficult to try and push too hard against certain expectations. For the most part, her hair is worn up, out of the way, and while trousers aren't really considered 'acceptable', she avoids dresses as much as she can. Especially considering what she spends most of her time doing, they're hardly suitable. 
.:Height:. 5'3
.:Portrayed by:. Jessie Mei Li

.:Personality:. Ladies of high society would likely be scandalised by someone like Mei, so opposed to dressing well, more interested in practicing combat, working with men who are considered 'dangerous'. She, however, cares deeply for those who have proven worth her loyalty, those she's grown close to since she lost (quite literally) her parents. She's not remotely traditional, preferring to be her own person, caring little for what those outside of the little group might think. She doesn't branch out often, after all, spending most of her time with her lover and those she works with. Given her small stature, however, she knows how to manipulate and act like an innocent young woman when it's necessary; she lies will, knows how to use it all to her advantage. 
.:Skills:. Good with a knife, skilled liar (she plays innocent well), fiercely protective.
.:Weaknesses:. Her willingness to do anything for the people she cares about, her determination to find out more about what happened to her parents, not particularly physically strong meaning she's rather powerless without a blade.

.:Birthplace:. London, England.
.:Family:. Li Hua Lin (mother), Josiah Sinclair (father). There whereabouts of both is unknown, Mei is unsure as to whether they are dead or alive.
.:Occupation:. works for Reuben Slade.
.:History:. For the first few years of her life, Mei lived with both of her parents in Bloomsbury. They had little money, and no other family to speak of, but it never seemed to stop them from being happy. Her parents worked hard, though seldom ever seemed to have enough money to make ends meet. As a small child, however, she didn't really notice how hard up they were, how different they were from those across town – she didn't exactly interact with those from Mayfair, and they always ensured she was fed, even if they couldn't be. Her childhood was as blissful as could be, until she turned twelve, and everything changed.

It wasn't unusual for both her mother and father to work late as she got older, as they believed her to be at an age where she could look after herself. She was far from an adult, but that didn't much matter. On one particular evening, however, she went to bed before either of them returned home from work – and when she woke up the following morning, they still weren't back. Time passed, and they never returned. Days became weeks, weeks became months, and try as she might, she had no way of knowing what happened. It was hard to believe they'd leave her behind, that they'd have a reason to do that, but it was harder still to believe someone may have had them killed. They were hardly the kind of people who seemed involved in other peoples' business. 

From then on, Mei was forced to work in a factory, simply to be able to afford food. Her only other option was becoming a maid for an upperclass family, and that had never appealed to her. Instead, she suffered through factory work day in and day out, until she met Min, and was introduced to Reuben Slade, finding a place in the world that made the most sense to her. Having been alone since she was twelve, she was used to being scrappy, to fighting for what she required, and it was easy to mold her into the very kind of person a gang like that might need.
