Known to outsiders as the “lazy guardian,” she is often accused of napping on duty, though her naps are rare and earned from long hours of gardening, training, and martial practice. In truth, she is diligent and skilled, using her qi-based martial arts to repel intruders while tending the mansion grounds with unmatched botanical knowledge. Friendly and approachable, she often pranks or chats with others even enemies before fighting them, but she is fiercely protective of the mansion and its residents.

She has remained loyal to the mansion ever since, balancing her role as protector with that of caretaker, maintaining the gardens and keeping the mansion’s grounds beautiful. Her knowledge of plants is so refined that even Yuuka Kazami respects her expertise, despite Meiling never appearing to study botany formally. Her laid-back reputation comes less from negligence than from her relaxed, sunny personality, which contrasts the mansion’s more serious residents.

Her bond with the mansion residents is casual yet genuine pranking with Flandre, sharing tea or baths with Patchouli, sparring with Sakuya, and serving Remilia with loyalty. Relaxed, playful, and protective, she balances strength with kindness, grounding the Scarlet Devil Mansion with her sunny presence.
