Mei-lan Wei

好吧...我们只需要应对它并变得更强大！(well... we'll just have to deal with it and get stronger!) - Mei-lan

Mei-lan Wei is a main protagonist in RSC: Part 5.

He is a lil chinese boy who lived in the village of Bijie with his older sister (7 years older) and parents, though, this village was burnt down due to the slowly arising Miao Rebellion when he was 4. He and his sister, surviving, were forced out into the Hunan region, encountering the Yongzhou village. They were taken in, in exchange for protecting the village as warriors later in life. He and his sister were trained and taught warrior-like skills, such as catching fish with their hands sword skills, and necessary skills like reading and writing. But, they lacked communication skills for the tusi(local chieftan), believed this to be counter-productive. Mei-lan spent his childhood mostly observing others to learn communication skills. He had a deep respect for the tusi, who he regarded as a father figure, and his sister, though they were both terribly harsh on him when mistakes were made, these were the only people he had genuine contact with throughout his life. An eventual famine hit in their region during the height of the rebellion, putting the village into a hard place. Mei-lan heard of the race through trade relations and left for America at 14.

Personality
Mei-lan is a bit of a dunce. He doesn't know how to treat others and often yells out random things. He doesn't know much about manners, lacking common sense and cultural knowledge, and is seemingly needy at times, but despite that, hes extremely loyal and very harsh on himself. He has a traditional "knight-like" sense of viewing things, and believes in the hierarchy system, protecting those he deems worthy, but despite this warrior-like view of things, hes still very childish, and has alot of conflict within himself about what is right and wrong.
