Meikyo Gekko ~ Tranquility in the Moonlight

Mei Suzaku, 19
Japanese
H: 157cm; W: 63.5

Mei is a quiet teenager who was born in Kyoto, Japan. As the oldest of three kids, expectations were high for her. Despite her parents' good intentions Mei found herself insanely pressured to meet those expectations. By the time she hit high school, this pressure only continued to consume her and in turn she quickly fell down a hole of depression. Seeing thier daughter struggle, Mei's parents decided to have her take up a hobby of her choice. She chose swordplay.

Mei's siblings soon followed in her footsteps after she started kendo. Soon, she would find out just how much of a passion she had for the sport. Months of practice would lead her to partake in tournaments as well. Even though she never came close to winning them, it definitely helped soften the burdening pressure she felt from her school work.

Around the age of sixteen, a big accident would ruin Mei's chances of ever winning a kendo tournament, or so she thought. An accident with fire would ruin the vision of her right eye to the point of blindness. Although her left eyes was spared, her newfound loss of depth perception did the opposite for one might expect for her self-esteem. She only worked harder to become better and would soon go on to win her first tournament while blindfolded over her right eye.

This interest in swordplay would be how she found herself trapped within Aincrad. A friend in her kendo class would persuade her to get a copy of the game Sword Art Online as a way to practice their blade work while also having some fun.

Mei is a quiet but passionate woman when it comes to her sport. She tends to be hard to socialize with because her direct way of speaking. Though she opens to few people, those she's close to will find that passionate fire that burns inside.

 

Virtues [] Flaws

Swordplay | Years of practice have given Mei the edge over other players despite the aid of the Cardinal system. Her skill makes her take combat in the game more seriously than anything else in Aincrad. People who don't take the combat of the game seriously won't get along with her very well.

Challenging | Failure is a stepping stone to success. Mei sees her mistakes and problems as a way to continue to improve herself. She's always willing to take on a challenge if she thinks it will make her a stronger person.

Fearless | Mei isn't afraid to take on anything(...besides maybe one thing). She takes fear by the horns and drags them to the ground. Though this can also be a recipe for disaster, her steeled nerves haven't failed her yet.

---

No Experience | Despite Mei's experience with swordplay, it cannot carry her to an understanding of video games. Mei doesn't understand what level can really do for her when she has practiced her swordsmanship for years. Sooner or later she'll learn how it all works.

Too Serious | With her serious nature, Mei can be difficult to interact with. She finds it hard to socialize casually with people that she doesn't know. Her usual demeanor at least doesn't keep her from being polite.

Scared of Fire | After her incident, Mei has a problem around fire. It's unnerving for her to be around fire after nearly losing half her face to burns. Her insecurities with her burn marks have left her to wearing a mask over her eye now.
