Personality
Typically a cheerful and happy girl, Mei Fan herself is also a crybaby based from her attitude if there is something touchy. She is determined, passionate, and slightly oblivious, even to her own feelings. It's stated in the story that she's popular with the student body as the "Edel whom students feel the closest to." However, she's susceptible to being teased by Yachiyo because of her occasional inability to tell if people are joking. She can be extremely stubborn when it comes to things she cares about, such as leaving her home country to become an Edel and refusing to give up even when Akira and Michiru tell her to. Overall, she is a hardworking and earnest girl.
She is extremely addicted of fortune-telling, but her bad predictions have an uncanny knack of coming true, so everyone avoids her fortunes lately [3].
Background
Born and raised in China, Mei Fan trained in Beijing opera when she was younger. She also received training in martial arts which she says was to train her physical strength and now helps customize her performances.
Mei Fan decided to enroll to Siegfeld Institute of Music after she saw Akira perform in Elysion. She then learned Japanese, studied, and rehearsed to go to Siegfeld. Mei Fan passed the entrance exam with an impressive score and was the only foreign student to pass the entrance exam.
Once Mei Fan got into Siegfeld, she went straight to the student council room to voice her desire to become an Edel and support Akira. Akira and Michiru tells her she's not fit to become an Edel and kicks her out. The next day when Akira and Michiru are walking to the student council room, they see Mei Fan cleaning the windows of the student council room. She wanted to clean the whole room, but she couldn't get in. They tell her off again, saying the student council will take care of cleaning their room and she is still unfit to become an Edel. Still, Mei Fan comes again the next day.
When Akira and Michiru come to the room the next morning, Mei Fan is in a dogeza (a kneeling bow with your forehead pressed to the ground) in front of the door and has been there since 6 am. She assumes that she somehow hurt their feelings and that is why they won't let her become an Edel. Michiru finally explains to Mei Fan that she's unfit to become an Edel because of her selfish desire to stand on stage with Akira. She does not understand the weight of the school that the Edels hold.
Even after the explanation of her rejection, Mei Fan hits a gong in the courtyard of the school to catch the attention of Akira. She declares that she won't give up and will train even more.
Mei Fan: "No matter if you reject me as a fan--! This is me! This is my whole!"
Mei Fan: "I am here because I saw your shine! I am here because of you!"
Mei Fan: "My passion burns like no one else! I will prove to you that I can be of help!"

Michiru and Akira are impressed by her straight-forward passion and think she can become an edel who makes the king shine.
