A bit of story:
Her father suddenly disappeared from her life since she was 8 years old, and many assumed he either left or ended up dead. It was only from a chance encounter at age 14 that Mei finally hears something about her father. He's alive but was set up and is now being held inside a max-security prison. Since then Mei's been busting ass to find out who set up her father, find the location of where he's being held, laying the foundations for her plans, and building connections with useful or influential people.

Extra:

• An unforeseen accident happened during a job leaving permanent damage to Mei’s right hand. Her hand mostly works fine, but some of her fingers have lost their sense of touch and sometimes her whole hand will start seizing up.
• She particularly sensitive about her cheeks and will be defensive if she thinks someone's about to touch her face. She especially hates being pinched or poked at.
  • “My family is already bad enough. I don’t need anyone else thinking that they can just touch my face so freely.”
• Really wanted a pet as a child but couldn’t since her mom is allergic to animal fur
• prone to motion sickness specifically when she's riding in a vehicle (cars, trains, boats), but has gotten better the older she got
• her mother and her mother's father are motorcycle enthusiasts and own a huge garage to tinker and build their own bikes. They even opened a repair service to get some money out of their passions.
  • Mei knows her way around an engine and can do basic maintenance on a motorcycle because of them
