'''Li Mei''' is a character in the '']'' ] series. |

|
|
==About Li Mei== |
|
|
Li Mei was introduced in '']'' as a variant of a well-known ] in most fighting games: she is a girl/young woman fighting against a supreme crime organization or ] who did her wrong and fights at impossible odds. She is something of a ]. Like most people from ], Li Mei looks vaguely ]. |
|

|
==Storyline== |
|
|
Li Mei's village that was forced into slavery to help construct ]'s palace around the ], which had been a long-time legend of her people. In attacking ], however, she gained the attention of ], who promised her freedom if she could win a tournament. Around this time she befriended an old warrior among her enslaved villiagers; the supposed "Champion of the Elder Gods" ], captured by Kano during his 40 year quest for the Kamidogu. Shujinko offered to train her even though he felt that her chances in the Deadly Alliance's "tournament" were slim. She later journeyed to a nearby forest were she was attacked by ] and ]. She escaped through the trees as Shang Tsung came and formed an alliance with the Oni. |

In '']'', Li Mei returned (most of the newly-introduced fighters did not). Though her ending in ''Deadly Alliance'' depicted her winning Quan Chi's tournament, and "winning" the right to be imprisoned forever in one of the Dragon King's soldiers' bodies, ''Deception'' had ] rescuing her from this fate. However, he was apparently only partially successful, and Li Mei took on some of the aspects of one of these ancient warriors. As such, she is far more battle-oriented in this game, wearing armor, for example. |

===Possible future=== |
|
|
|
|
|
Though ''Mortal Kombat'' endings are always highly variable, Li Mei's ending in ''Deception'' showed her taking Onaga's side, thinking it was more likely to win, and turning against her former allies. Onaga is then successful in his schemes, and makes Li Mei his new queen. Li Mei's alignment is revealed in her Bio Card she is still on the good side '']''. |

==Fatalities== |
|
|
*'''Head Kick''': Li Mei kicks her victim's stomach, lodging her foot in his/her innards. She keeps it there for a second before pulling it out, then kicks the victim's head off. ''(MKDA)'' |
|
|
*'''Brutality''': Li Mei punches her victim all over his/her torso at an incredible speed. She then backs off, allowing her victim to explode with no further action on her part. This fatality seems to borrow from Asian pressure-point myths. ''(MK:D)'' |
|
|
*'''Head Grenade''': Li Mei punches her victim's head into the air and kicks the head into the opponent, causing it to explode.''(MK:D)'' |
|
|
|
|
|
== Other finishers == |
|
|
*'''Hara-Kiri''' – Li Mei throws her sword into the air and bends over. The sword falls back down and cuts off her head. ''(MK:D)'' |
|
|
|
|
|
==Trivia== |
|
|
*Even among ''Mortal Kombat'' characters, Li Mei is considered very sexy (like Mileena). She also has a joke picture in ''Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance'' that promotes her as a supermodel. |
|
|
*Li Mei is rather notable in ''Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance'' for having four special moves: most characters have only two or three. She retains all these moves in ''Mortal Kombat: Deception''. |
