==Background and Description==

Meilin and her twin sister Lian are the daughters of Bai Xiang, better known as Dragon, supervillain head of the New York Triads. From the moment of their birth, it was clear that fortune had favoured her sister; while her mother was capable of shifting between human and dragon forms, Meilin's appearance was a hybrid of the two, born with scales and a tail and the beginnings of horns.

Meilin was raised largely in secret in the family home, her existence only known to members of the Triad inner circle and teachers sworn to silence. She threw herself into learning and training, but never manifested the kinds of powers her bloodline was known for, at best managing to hide her inhuman appearance and take brief visits to the outside world, albeit under close guard. Meanwhile Lian quickly mastered water-elemental magic, and when she came of age manifested a true dragon form. On the day Dragon named Lian as her successor, Meilin swiped a stash of stolen money and went on the run.

On her own, experiencing life in the city for the first time, it didn't take long to realise that there were a lot of bad people out there, preying on the vulnerable, and the 'family' she'd grown up with were some of the worst. But she also came to realise that the little power she had, the skills and abilities that had never been good enough for her mother, was enough to make a difference. When she first put on the costume, she thought that maybe she could at least defend one neighbourhood against organised crime. But soon she ended up part of something bigger...

Note: Bai Meilin is her real name, but she doesn't publicise it due to the Dragon connection. Li Ji is the name on her fake ID. As a rule, she goes by May.
