    Height: 1‘8‘’

    Weight: 26 lbs

    Equipment: Slingshot, a few bottles.

    Appearance:
    Mei has a light, almost pink coloration to her body, and her face is a darker red leaf, inscribed with a smiling face. In addition, the top of her body (her head, so to speak) is wreathed in white daisy flowers, forming a type of hair.

    Personality:
    Bubbly and easily excited, Mei possesses an indomitable spirit. She loves to travel, to discover new things, and as such she makes a fairly good (if easily distracted) scout for potential spots for the Great Deku Tree.

    Though she is prone to flights of fancy, she is very dedicated to the Great Deku Tree and her duties as his daughter, and never forgets to bring her seeds.

    Residence: Lives in a treehouse in a small grove in the Lost Woods.

    Backstory:
    Mei was not always so energetic, nor was she so effective at her job. She would rarely venture out of the forest, though in hindsight, she would never be certain whether that was for timidity or simple laziness. She would search out clearings and the like, and seek to plant a seed there; however, other Korok had already seen such places and beaten her to it. It was immensely discouraging to find that her ideas were not nearly original.

    Every time she did this, though, she went out a little further. Part frustration, part desperation drove her. Doing nothing in this manner was maddening. There must’ve been something she could do. She gradually gathered her courage. She would go out of the forest like so many of her brethren before her.

    Her appeal to the Great Deku tree was only half-successful. He was rightfully worried about one so inexperienced venturing out beyond the borders of kokiri forest, but her pleas were so impassioned he felt it prudent to let her out, little by little.

    Her travels took her further and further, but still she was not satisfied. She eventually asked for passage to seek out the lands of north hyrule. The father of the forest was hesitant, but did allow her to search out a way.

    And find a way she did. She ended up befriending a group of sailors on the east coast, and managed to secure passage... and a few months later Ganon attacked. She was stranded.

    Upon knowing this, she withdrew into the closest thing to home; the Lost Woods. There were many days when she did nothing, and forgot entirely her mission. She missed everyone of the forest... She spent her days wandering aimlessly through the sea of trees, though she did, at length, wander back out of it.

    On this occasion, however, she was set upon by a kargorok. She had never anticipated fighting before; in the forest, she had always been able to escape into the foliage or otherwise avoid trouble. With this thing, though, she couldn’t even run by flying; it flew too, faster than she did.

    It cornered her, and she closed her eyes. But before death could take her, the flying beast fell to an arrow. She found herself rescued by a girl much taller than her, and of course much more equipped for the wilderness. Her name was Autumn; a guardian of the woods. It was with her help that Mei managed to build her own home rather than sleeping in trees, and crafted herself a makeshift weapon, a slingshot.

    Heartened by the knowledge that her quest was supported by others, and encouraged by her interactions with Autumn, she sallied forth out of the woods, and seeing the outside emboldened her. She was positive she could find new and exotic areas to plant the seeds, and continued searching for places with renewed vigor.

    EDIT: All relationships to Autumn, BP's character, have been cleared with her.

    At first I was confused by the place of origin being the Lost Woods, since the Great Deku Tree resides in the Kokiri Forest. Are you trying to say that on her first outing, she flew all the way across the map to the Lost Woods? That seems unrealistic to me, although if there was a reason for it to make sense I might believe it.

    Also, don't forget that physical treasures (Deku Leaf, Korok Copter, Blue Fire, Bottomless Bottle, and Chill Seed Supply) would be equipment as well.

    Okay. Wasn't certain they had to start out in Kokiri Forest. I can re-do this if it's necessary.

    The Koroks are spread all over the world, yes, but they are children of the Great Deku Tree, meaning that they should start out in the Kokiri Forest as far as I am aware. But if you could elaborate a little more about what brought her to the Lost Woods the story would make more sense.
