First Appearance: Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance

Powers and Abilities

The beautiful Li Mei is a fictional character that made her first appearance in the hit video game, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. Originating in the Outworld, Li Mei was once a member of a local village that was attacked and enslaved by Shang Tsung and Quan Chi. After attempting to secure her village’s freedom via a tournament hosted by Tsung, Li Mei was betrayed during a match, resulting in the loss (and imprisonment) of her soul. Bo’ Rai Cho later liberated her soul, however, and trained Li Mei for the Forces of Light in preparation for the “Battle of Armageddon.” Although she would later die in the battle (by the hand of Hotaru), she was eventually resurrected by Raiden.

Li Mei is an incredibly skilled warrior that relies chiefly on the Baji Quan, Lui He Ba Fa, and Mi Zong fighting styles. By combining these styles with her extensive magical abilities, Lei Mei is highly-capable of defending herself against nearly any would-be attacker. Some of her signature moves include the powerful “Nova Blast,” “Carnival Spin,” as well as “Half Circle.” Primary fatality moves include the infamous “Kick Precision,” “Brutality,” as well as her “Fatal Kick.” She is best-suited for intermediate to advanced players, however, as her moves are both diverse and complex.

Personality and Appearance

Lei Mei can be best-described as an extremely tough and spirited individual. Her primary focus in life is the protection of her people from harm, as well as the restoration of peace and justice. And while she is often swayed by thoughts of vengeance and revenge against those who enslaved her village, Lei Mei continues to be guided in her actions by a sense of propriety, honor, and an inclination to do what is right. In spite of this, it is important to note that Lei Mei is willing to do almost anything for her people, even if it means crossing moral boundaries on occasion to accomplish her goals.

In regard to her outward appearance, few fighters in the Mortal Kombat series are capable of matching Lei Mei’s feminine beauty and sex appeal. She is perhaps best-known for her long black hair and sparkling green eyes. However, alternate costumes (especially her purple bikini-style outfit) reveal much more of her physical beauty, as she is quite curvaceous, and possesses both wide hips and a large bust. Combined with her long legs, full set of lips, and lovely face, Lei Mei is (without a doubt) one of the sexiest Mortal Kombat characters to have appeared in recent years.
