mac mac﹗◣1 A WEAPON OF GRACE AND PRECISION
Ribbon magic is probably one of the less common abilities there are amongst the blessed. Something as sweet and innocuous as a ribbon becomes a lethal weapon when in Mei's talented hands. While a ribbon/string is empowered, it's able to withstand forces it normally wouldn't. As long as it's connected to her body (preferably her hands), she can control any section of the ribbon at will. She can do this telepathically to some extent, but don't expect the same kind of power as when she's actually touching it. Mei could probably pull off an assassination if someone's wearing a ribbon choker though. While there are aggressive ways to use her magic, such as choking out vitals or making an edge sharp enough to cut skin, more often than not Mei finds herself using this as a form of crowd control, becoming a supportive/defensive entity in the team. She'll hold them still, blind, distract; whatever it is, her ribbons can probably do it. This ability, however, doesn't magically make the ribbon grow longer or shorter at will. She has to work with what she's got, and if that means carrying more than two meters of five different ribbons everywhere with her, then so be it. The term ribbon extends to string to some extent, and she will use it if needed as it's more convenient to carry around, but string oft winds up a double edged sword, cutting into her own arms and hands if she's not careful.

mac mac﹗◣1 A SIMPLE FOLLOWER WITH NO AMBITIONS
This lack of ambition is more harmful than it first seems. It also turns into a lack of initiative and an unwillingness to assume leadership when needed. She's good at following orders; she's not good at giving and enforcing them. She's not the sharpest knife in the drawer either, and her thought process is extremely simple. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing; just don't expect Mei to think too far ahead. The brunette likes frill, yeah, but not on anything other than her clothes. Even if you force the details, it's unlikely she'll retain anything but the most important ones. Mei's got a bad tendency to daydream when she's not interested in the subject at hand. This doesn't affect her combat abilities though, as she's a gifted multi-tasker, so she's able to pay attention to more than one thing going on in the fight at a time.

mac＊CHILDHOOD ▬
mac mac﹗◣1 SIMPLICITY, DISCOVERY AND LEAVING
The Furmont life was one of simplicity. Her father was a simple vendor, her mother, a seamstress. She had two younger siblings, both of whom she adored. The city was a big scary place, but their home was a warm one. She was always a bit flighty as a child, prone to running off to secluded corners or climbing up the roof to talk to her "friends" as she called them. Her parents simply thought that Mei preferred the company of her own thoughts over others, and didn't think any of it. In truth, her friends were actual entities, the Fae as they were called, invisible to everyone except a select few. She'd tell her parents of the conversations she had, and they'd just shrug it off, thinking she had a vivid imagination.
Mei's powers have always been present, but considering their nature, it wasn't something they picked up on quickly. Everyone just thought she had extremely nimble fingers when she was able to recreate any knot or tie as long as she managed to see it. To be honest, that's how the brunette saw it as well. It's why she wanted to become a tailor herself, becoming one who catered only to the highest bidder. That dream was, unfortunately, cut short when it was discovered her talent with ribbon wasn't just a simple talent; it was a form of magic altogether.
The young girl had grown into the habit of bringing ribbon around everywhere with her, enjoying the puzzle of finding new ways to create bows and the like. During one of her rooftop expeditions to talk to her friends, she slipped and accidentally fell down, clutching onto the roof for dear life. Her parents heard her cries for help, and went out to try and save her, climbing up to try and grab her from the edge and onto safety. But just as they reached her, Mei ran out of strength and quickly went into free fall. Everyone thought she was a goner; until they saw the ribbon tie itself around one of the window panes while the other end curled around her arm. It hurt, left a mark on her right forearm, but they were able to get her to safety.
The news spread fast, considering how many onlookers there were during that debacle. The story got warped at some point, becoming grossly exaggerated as rumors are prone to do. It was thanks to these rumors that the monarchy eventually confronted her family about the fact that Mieke was, in fact, a blessed child. And even at the tender age of eight, she already understood that denying them what they wanted would only lead to additional grief for her family. So she went with them without a fight, even if it was against her own wishes. In exchange, they promised to take care of her family financially. It was the least Mieke could do for them considering the circumstances.
mac mac﹗◣1 FIRST JOB CUT SHORT, SEGUE INTO THE NEXT
Her first charge wasn't Athena, but another noble family who insisted she protect their sickly son. In retrospect, Mei realizes what his parents was a friend for their son rather than a guardian, but insisted on the protection for him should anything happen. Unfortunately, this family had reason to want the protection of the blessed for their child. They were far from in favor of the town they presided over, and eventually there was an uprising which forced Mei to learn how to use her abilities to fight. Kidnapping attempts ingrained a habit to keep an eye out, and seeing her charge in distress made her to mature faster than most kids her age, as if she already wasn't ahead of others. Eventually the revolt was resolved peacefully, but it meant that the family she worked for would lose their title. And in effect, they no longer had a need for her. It didn't take long until someone else picked her up, forcing her into taking care of another child. This time, it was a child intelligent beyond her years but seemed to lack a verbal filter and an arrogance which drove even Mei up a wall during their first few days together. Eventually, they settled into a more comfortable relationship, and Mei has started seeing Athena as something of a younger sister. She's still unsure about the rest of the team; a bit wary of them to be honest.
