When MeiMei was just a baby, her parents adored her like any other parents. They cared for her very much. You could almost called her spoiled. Her room was the brightest pink you can imagine and her whole room was full of toys and stuffed animals. She spent hours in her room playing with her toys. Her parents would laugh when she squealed with delight when they gave her a new toy. Of course, that didn't last very long. When she turned 6, they started to pay less attention to her. They rarely visited her in her room, where she would still spend a few hours playing. When they did visit, she would spend the whole time doing anything to get her parents' attention so they could visit her more often. She was usually locked up in her room, so she couldn't go see them when she wanted to. She would get in trouble, act like a good little daughter, anything she could. Even with all her trying, her parents visits to her room kept decreasing until finally they stopped coming at all. It turns out that the reason they were ignoring her was because she had a new sibling. Being locked up in her room all the time, she didn't know that. Christmas and her birthday was spent alone in her room, crying. Then she turned 7.
One of the maids heard her crying on her 7th birthday. She found a small toy bunny and gave it to MeiMei. This small act of kindness made MeiMei cry even harder, but with joy. Everywhere the maid went, MeiMei would follow. She learned how to cook and clean from the maid. Sadly, she never learned the maid's name. Her mother happened to walk by one time while MeiMei was washing the dishes. Her mother looked very tired. She was outraged that her daughter was working. She asked if MeiMei liked to clean and she answered, "Yes." The mother had replied, "Well, if you like to clean so much, you can clean the whole castle by yourself! Go on, then! Clean it up!" Her mother threw all the dishes on the ground and they shattered into a million pieces. The mother ripped all the blankets off the beds, took all the clothes out of the closets and scattered them all over the house, pulled apart the flower beds outside and threw dirt all over the castle. MeiMei spent weeks cleaning everything. Her mother fired all the maids, but let them stay. All but one...MeiMei cried when she cleaning the maids' tower and asked for her favorite maid. They all told her that the maid was banned from the castle and the village.
When MeiMei turned 10, she started sneaking out of the house and worked in a small shop in the nearby village as a waitress. She didn't get paid very much, but it was better than nothing. Her father caught her one day and threw a tantrum just like her mother. Even his words were very similar. "You like to work? Fine! Go ahead and work! But I'm going to quit my job and you get to support this family since you love to work so much!" He immediately quit his job and became just like the maids, lazy and uncaring. She struggled to clean and work at the same time, but she managed. She would spend 16 hours at work and 3 hours cleaning. If she hadn't had another sibling, she might not have had to work so much. She found some baby clothes while cleaning and even more clothes started to appear, but she was never allowed to see any of her siblings. She didn't even know how many siblings she had.
The rest of the time she either spent homeschooling herself with the very little resources she had, or she spent the time trying to catch up on her sleep. It would usually be one hour of "homeschooling" and 4 hours of sleep. It was hard for her too pay for all the bills, pay the guards and the lazy maids. Sometimes her boss, Mr. Asami, would let her sleep in his shop and still pay her for the day's work. Because the village feared her father, Mr. Asami never offered MeiMei to come live with him and his wife, Mrs. Asami and their 2 children. MeiMei continued this routine until she turned 17, when she finally felt sickened about the idea of her schedule.
Since her parents never care enough to check up on her, she slowly began packing her things. Since she couldn't afford much for herself, she didn't have to take more than a backpack. Her bedroom window was small, but since she was a bit underfed, she fit through it easily. Unfortunately, two guards happened to be passing by her window and saw her before she could make it into the forest that surrounded her home. Her dad paid them a lot with the money, but they both knew that they got paid with the money that MeiMei earned. They lied to MeiMei and said that their orders were to protect her. MeiMei immediately knew they were lying. Her father never cared enough to have two guards protect her. She had just glared at them until they told her the truth. Their orders were to not let MeiMei leave the castle, under any circumstances, except for work. While she went to work, they always followed her, making sure she didn't try to run away from home. They all agreed that she could go anywhere as long as they were following her. Since she was the one that hired them, she knew about their special abilities to turn into dogs. She asked how long they could stay dogs and they responded by saying that they could be dogs as long as they wanted. She didn't want anyone to know she was being followed and protected by two castle guards, so she requested that they pretend to be her pets while she wasn't home. (Not that she was ever planning on coming back.) They agreed that it would be better and they changed into their wolf forms.
Edward changed into a red and white wolf with a scar over one eye and a bandaged leg.
Jacob turned into a pure white dog, with no marking or anything.
After being together for a while, they found out that they could communicate through their thoughts. They all pretty much hate it though. MeiMei gets annoyed with Edward yelling at Jacob for goofing off, while Jacob yells at Edward for yelling at him. Edward hates it because then he starts thinking about how immature Jacob is and Jacob starts to yell at him. Jacob hates it because he can hear what Edward thinks about him and the fact that none of their thoughts are private.
Every single day of her travels, she hopes to run into the maid that gave her a moment of happiness. Sadly, the bunny that the maid gave her was ripped apart by her mother during her tantrum. She managed to sneak into the maids' tower and steal some sewing supplies. She fixed it up with the original pieces as best as she could. MeiMei told Mrs. Asami about the bunny and she gave her a replacement. She carries the old one in her backpack and carries the new one around with her in her arms. Every time she looked at either of them, she suddenly felt happy that there were some kind people in the world.
This is what she currently looks like:
One day, she decided to come back to the castle. She climbed through her bedroom window and found it exactly as she left it, except that everything was covered in dust. She started looking through her old things, tears streaming down her face from all the memories. She spent a week in her room, trying to figure out if she should take anything else or leave anything. One of her sisters happened to hear MeiMei as she was putting her stuff away. Because MeiMei knew that no one would care if she was back, she left the door unlocked. Her sister was big enough so that she could open the door. MeiMei had just stared at her in shock, while her sister did the exact same thing. After a few minutes of dead silence, her sister walked into the room, shutting the door behind her. MeiMei hugged her sister, crying quietly. Her sister, who's name was Misty, told her about all of her other siblings. She even carried pictures around with her. Misty had suspected, ever since she was 5 years old, that she had an older sister. Misty had occasionally walked by MeiMei's door, when she still lived there, and heard her crying. Being 5 years old, Misty thought it was a ghost or something so she stayed away from MeiMei's room. MeiMei told Misty not to tell anybody that she came back. Her parents would probably throw another fit if they knew. Misty told MeiMei to wait in her room for a bit. MeiMei agreed and sat on her old bed, waiting for Misty to come back. An hour later, Misty knocked quietly on the door. "Come in." MeiMei said softly. Misty came in with a small package in her hands. Misty set in down in front of MeiMei and started singing softly, "Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Sister. Happy birthday to you." Misty smiled and said, "I missed your birthdays, so here's a birthday present for all your past birthdays and your future birthdays." MeiMei opened the package with trembling hands. Inside the paper was a small photo album. Some of the pages were filled with picture, but more than half were blank. "What is this?" MeiMei asked softly. Misty replied, "You haven't seen anyone else. You haven't seen Mama or Papa in a long time. Mama just had another baby and you have a lot of siblings you haven't seen yet. I want you to remember all of us." Misty smiled brightly and all MeiMei could do was cry with happiness and hug her sister. Misty couldn't remember all of their siblings names, so MeiMei didn't know their names either. On the back of the pictures of Misty, she had written her name in crayon. Misty also explained that most of their siblings were adopted. Their parents adopted all the kids from an old orphanage. The orphanages couldn't afford to keep taking care of the kids, so their parents adopted all of them. MeiMei laughed a bit when she heard what happened. "Who would've thought Mama and Papa would be nice enough to adopt a whole bunch of kids from an orphanage that was about to be shut down?" Even though MeiMei laughed on the outside, inside her heart had shattered into a million pieces. MeiMei felt like her heart was screaming, Why couldn't they be nice enough to care about me when I needed them?! Why did I have to do all the cleaning and cooking and working?! Why didn't they care about me?! Why don't they care if I'm back or not?! MeiMei told Misty when she was leaving, so Misty came back regularly to try and convince MeiMei to stay. Unfortunately for Misty, nothing she said worked. MeiMei had disappeared again in the middle of the night.
MeiMei does still think about her sister, Misty. She cries whenever she thinks about her and the kindness she gave to a complete stranger, even if that stranger was her sister. Everyday she thinks about how Misty must've felt when she came to check up on her and found her bedroom empty.
