Human

As a human, Mei is a Chinese-Canadian girl with fair skin, pink cheeks, light brown eyes, some small moles on her face, and neck-length red hair (formerly black). She wears thin silver glasses, a teal barrette on the right side of her hair and two magenta hairpins on the left, yellow star earrings (that are stickers), and a black choker. Her outfit consists of a cardigan with a light and dark red lacy-like design at the top, and pink buttons, without the cardigan she wears a light pink polo shirt with two buttons on it. She wears an indigo or denim-colored box pleated skirt with mauve ankle-length leggings, pink socks, and gray and pink sneakers. Some parts of her red panda form reveal in her human form at times. She has a rainbow friendship bracelet with a green and pink-red bracelet underneath on the right wrist and a pink watch with multiple buttons on the left.

When Mei was a little girl, she had her black hair in buns, with a red flower hair clip in her hair, smaller and slightly thicker, she wore a red short Chinese dress with flowers all over it, black and she wears red Mary Jane shoes.

When hiding the change in Mei’s hair color, she is seen wearing a red tuque with light red stripes with maple leaves in between them.

Mei’s pajamas consist of a white t-shirt that has a red maple leaf in the middle (the Canadian flag) with red lines on the collar and end of the sleeves and pink gym shorts. All of her head accessories are off, including her glasses.

During the Red Moon Ritual, Mei wears an outfit consisting of a plastic magenta flower with Mei’s teal barrette underneath, a yellow dot at the top of her hair, and a velvet red hanfu (Chinese robe), which the front has a brown and white sash that switches palette when it ends with a thing that holds that sash, she wears a tan dress underneath and wears magenta Mary Janes.
