She's a clumsy girl, and looks much younger than her actual age when there is really more behind all of that...
Mei is probably one of the most clumsiest people anyone could imagine. Even with just a simple task like taking the trash out could make her stumble and fall.
She is also very shy. She can't really ever look anyone in the eyes, or speak as loudly and clearly. Mei, mostly, is emotional.
The only people she knows is her family, and no one else, so she gets very nervous when meeting someone knew or introducing herself.
Because of this, she is unable to find any job.
Although, despite this, she also has a very honest, blunt, and stubborn side. It's a random occurrence and chance, but she will sometimes be so blunt with someone that she gets in trouble. The same goes with her stubbornness, sometimes, she just won't let things go.
Not very much, just a dirty old cloak and a few coins for money.
Her family is very poor, causing her to have to go from place to place, looking for a job.
Not only that, but he younger brother suffers from illness which causes her another reason to look around.
In the past, she's travelled to places foreign from her origin, and no luck has shown.
She's now just desperate for any job, not caring how much they pay or what the job is.
