Shen Meilin

The Hidden Flame

Age: 17

Appearance: A slender young woman with long black hair tipped in fiery crimson, usually hidden beneath a hood. Her outfits are edged with red silk, betraying a hint of rebellion.

Demeanor: Playful, restless, and sharp-tongued. Unlike her siblings, she makes little effort to hide her discontent with the family’s restrictions.

Role: Rumored to have inherited a dangerous spark of elemental fire, Meilin’s existence is rarely spoken of outside the family. Some say she is kept from Reigan not by law, but by fear of what their combined power might unleash.

Bond with Reigan: Of all his siblings, Meilin seeks him most eagerly, a year younger, and not being allowed to meet any of her siblings before her own 16th birthday, she considers the others too far gone to be family.
