Hong Meiling

''This article is about the Touhou Project character first appearing in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. For Meiling's evil alternate-future counterpart appearing as the final boss in Touhou Rekkaden, see Lie Meiling.''

 is the gatekeeper to the Scarlet Devil Mansion from Touhou Project. She first appeared as the Stage 3 Boss of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.

Although she is a youkai, Meiling does not show any aggression toward humans unless they are trying to trespass into the Scarlet Devil Mansion, instead preferring to engage in friendly chat with them. She is very laid-back and often takes naps on the job, which often gets her into trouble. While her mastery of martial arts and ability to use Qi leaves her with no weak points, she isn't particularly that powerful among most youkai, either. During the events of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, she fulfills her guard duty by attacking the as they try to enter the Scarlet Devil Mansion by force.

In M.U.G.E.N, has been made many times by Kohaku, RicePigeon, and other creators.

Kohaku's Meiling
This version of Meiling is a custom-styled character. She has the option to select between 3 types of guarding. She has 2 strikers consisting of other residents of The Scarlet Devil Mansion. When she wins a fight, a Street Fighter 4 styled winquote appears. It has a darker palette than the other versions of Meiling.

RicePigeon's Meiling


This version of Meiling was made only for the M.U.G.E.N 1.0 engine, as thus will not work on older versions such as WinMUGEN. Like Kohaku's version, this version plays like a traditional fighting game. Her old version had a spellcard select system, but was removed in the new version. She has Chun-Li's voice.

Darkwing Meiling
There exists a version of Hong Meiling using Kohaku's sprites that's a spriteswap of WlanmaniaX's Darkwing Duck. It was only seen in one video though, and may be offline. It is rumored to be made by Soniclenkirbyfan8.

Barai's Meiling
This version plays like Hisoutensoku, the only difference being that Meiling is missing her pants in her sprites. Her hypers are activated through 1 button though. She is strangely packed with Barai's Sakuya Izayoi.
