Background History: Raised in a traditional Tokunese society, Mei's parents decided her future path before she was born; by the age of twelve their perfect daughter was consumed by rebellion, running away from home to escape the strict confines of her family. Though she loved every aspect of her upbringing, the art and calligraphy, dance and ceremonies; Mei wanted to express her own creativity outside the confines of tradition.
Several years on the streets of Zento, taught Mei how to lie, cheat and survive on her own till she was caught stealing from the cities Irezumi Master Shizurou. Mei's life with Shizurou began in servitude to repay her debt, but in time he saw her talent and began to teach her the ways of Tebori and Irezumi. Under Shizurou's guidance Mei learned that tradition was the foundation needed to express individual creativity and in time the student rivaled her master.
Kakushi-bori became Mei's specialty, even garnering the attention of the Empress of Tokuno. Secrets and hiding them in plain sight became the central focus of the young woman's life more so when those secrets triggered in her a change. The Fae call it Chrysallis when the soul of a dream emerges in a person. Mei Jin Song was a keeper of secrets and became Sluagh.
Mei has plied her art and her secrets in many cities and courts. The Sluagh uses them to make deals for her own self-preservation, to meet her needs and her caprices. Secrets are but one commodity to Mei, though. Broken toys, strange knickknacks and anything resonant with nostalgia makes for an excellent item for trade. Outsiders are mystified by the value Mei places on these items, but then again, perversity is a Sluagh's trademark.
