MEI ALAJA SONG !?

'i will never give in'

hey there! so, tell us all about you... let's start off with the basics. what do we need to know?

"Oh goodness, an interview? I've never had to do one of these, so should I really worry over it a bunch? Well, I'd like to think i'm okay with them, like...well, I'm Mei Alaja Song, my original last name was Xing, like in the Zing dynasty, but I changed it shortly after....it all happened. Anyway, I'm what you can call a bloody ghost, yeah, you heard that right. I'm dead, and technically have been for over 100 years now. I personally am Neutral, but you could say I'm a Light side more than a neutral, yeah, a Light Side because I'm all for humans, since I did used to be one after all. Umm...oh, how old I am? Weren't you taught never to ask a woman that? -laughs- I'm about 471 years old, fun right? Plus that I look to be about 24-26 years old. Let's see, oh! I like my boys, I'm straight but obviously I can only do so much most of the time being solid, so relationships happen once in awhile. I'm also called Ali or AJ, not sure why, but sometimes people who I manage to befriend do."

so, a little birdy told me that you're pretty gorgeous... describe yourself.

"You can't see me? Oh, sorry. Yeah, well I've been told I look like this Ziyi Zhang woman, not sure how they got that, but whatever, I like to pull the racist card sometimes, mainly because I can. Ha! Sorry....my sense of humor varies due to the years. You can probably describe me as short, I'm only 5'6", but I can pack a punch - I think. I'm not very heavy, only about 120 I think, but I don't really care, I have my "womanly" muscles which will only appear if I use them, and I have my womanly figure, that's all I was told I would need when I was alive....anyway! But yeah, besides being pretty much full-blooded Chinese, that means I get the black hair of my ancestors as well as the deep, dark, brown eyes like them too. To be honest, I like how I look, I'm quite proud of myself, and plus it can be a perk to never age, I'll look like this till I finally figure out why I'm here. Ugh.

See that yellow dress? Well, it's a bit hard to dress myself considering I'm a ghost, which means half the time, well, sometimes I can't be seen and can go right through people and doors, so needless to say I only get to dress myself when I manage to stay solid and actually worry about that. Dresses are my favorites and have been since I was little, probably because I was groomed to like them. But yeah, jeans and a shirt are just fine with me, but I can be said I have like a sophisticated look about me when I dress, as I don't like to just dress down all the time, it's always fun to dress up isn't it? Of course."

i'm sure that your personality is something else completely, tell me all about your self, can't wait to hear it!

"So you wanna actually know about me? That's surprising, most people don't tend to care anymore from what I've been watching change over the past few centuries. People, humans can be greedy, they can be selfless or selfish, which is why I guess I love them. -grins innocently- I like people, I've always been a bit of a people person, so needless to say it's quite hard for me to imagine not being able to vocally communicate with people, but I did manage to find out how to move things without being solid, it just takes a lot of concentration. Anyway, I'm pretty...loyal. Once I befriend someone, I am more than eager to go ahead and lay down on the line for them for whatever they need, course this rarely happens now, but back when I had been alive I had friends, I had a lover, a husband picked for me, everything. I was a bit spoiled. Not much anymore, now I just like to be able to try and figure out why I'm here, I'm sick of being here, but I figure why not have fun while I'm at it?

For what I like? Well, I do like bubble baths, but obviously I can't take them for hours, well, I could since I've gotten pretty darn good at staying solid. Oh, sorry. I tend to ramble...and be quiet in thoughts while I'm bored. Let's see, I like wandering around, and sometimes I like to just...people-watch, and since they can't see me I don't need to worry about them seeing me just watching them. But I can tend to be a bit eccentric. Anyway, besides those, I absolutely love walking and running around, I don't like to sit still. Animals are my favorite, I actually have a cat I hang out with, since I have this small apartment to myself, though I only work part-time since I can't stay solid that long obviously, and this cat is able to see me when-ever, her name's Sophie. So animals, baths, socializing - somewhat, and I enjoy being able to watch TV since I like to be able to learn other languages, I actually only learned English in the past...100 years or so, since I find it to be a weird language, but nonetheless, I still learned it. Games are fun too, especially since I can sometimes be known to have a little fun with humans if I get mad enough, and...yeah.

As for what I don't like, I really don't like arrogance, an egos. My lover before I died he was quite the ego-trip, but he was still passionate and loyal towards me, he took care of me like he promised my parents to. Abusers, I absolutely hate people who abuse anyone, and those are the people I tend to go after and torture them for a little while, mainly just because I want to. Um, lies I don't like, as well as corruption. My family had that, and though when they heard that I had been killed, that I died, they were shattered, and I hate seeing people in pain. For strengths, well, I'm quite passionate, I love doing things when I actually get to doing them. I'm level-headed in stressful situations and I learn fast. Though when it comes to the opposite things, I am horrible at keeping my nose out of other people's business, obviously because I obviously can't be seen naturally, and therefore I can be a bit nosy. -laughs- I'm quite stubborn when it comes to things that I feel strongly about, so that's probably a downfall too. Oh, and I have an odd sense of humor, probably due to the lack of interaction over all these years. -sigh-"

i would love to hear about your past, i'm sure it's oh so interesting...

"I was born in 1546 during the Ming Dynasty in China. Basically, I was born into a Buddhist family, well, I became a Buddhist, but my father happened to be Jiajing Emperor, he was a vicious, ruthless man and my mother happened to be one of the young women he would abuse on a weekly basis. She was also the mastermind behind his assassination in 1542, when I was two years old. I was raised by the other women there, and kept secret from him, especially since I was his daughter out of wedlock and not even out of his wife. My mom escaped with me on her back and then she soon met Ling, who became her husband. He was of a noble family and though they kept me a secret from their family, they married rather quickly and therefore they would be able to show me off to the world after being wedded and everything in the accepted social customs. I was raised on a dialect of Chinese in Beijing at the time, and as I grew up, the Mongols began to harass us on our northern borders, and my "father" Ling was sent up there to control troops due to his higher rank. Needless to say I wasn't sure about this, but my mom and I kept our ears open for news daily.

It was when I was growing up that my mom refused to tell me of who my father actually was. It probably brought back painful memories to her as well, and when I turned 8, I was introduced to the wonderful world of fighting, Buddhism and karate. I became a Buddhist out of a Daoism-raising family, and I started to take on meditating and karate from a young age. I was so at peace when I meditated and I soared in my lessons, though as I got older, my parents of course were looking for a suitable husband for me when I was 15. They found one, and his name was Liu and he was quite the stubborn one when I first met him. Mei and Liu, my parents would say, they loved us together, though I'm still not entirely sure why, they did and began to push us to marry eventually. Liu and I married about 4 months before I turned 16, though when we got engaged, someone else came along. His name was Zing. He was about 20 at the time and tied with the royal family as well as a Commander in the army. He admired me from afar and made his lust and passion known for me when I had been with my parents to celebrate my engagement to Liu. The thing was, I began to spend time with Zing, and I adored him, Liu was just the man I was arranged to marry. So, Zing and I moved to the Americas, here pretty much, but no city skyscrapers and all this now.

I was 20 when I first fell pregnant, and the child ended up dying shortly after she was born. I will never forget that pain of losing my child, and I often wonder if that might be the reason why I'm still here. Anyway, Zing was shattered and he began to grow distant from me, and I grew worried about why, if it had been me or what. Nevertheless, Zing soon introduced me to someone else, his concubine, his mistress, who happened to be two years younger than me. Suddenly, after having been getting over our child's death, when I was 25, Zing killed me. It was an easy kill I suppose, he strangled me. I remember the look in his eyes, and him telling me sorry and sorry over again, but that he didn't want me to to running to my parents about this, or to Liu, who had come to America in hopes of being with me. Needless to say, when I found myself able to sometimes shout at Liu to tell him, warn him, it sometimes worked if I concentrated hard enough. I watched people die, I watched as I remained the same, and I could feel sanity slipping sometimes it felt like. I witnessed my parents' torturing themselves after I "died" in childbirth, the horror on my mother's face of her only child dying. That I will never forget, and I still have dreams about it.

I interacted with people once I learned I could turn solid,

So what did I do? I ran. I told my parents sorry, but only after I had died when they and I had traveled to the Americas in hopes for the gold there. I ran to Zing and we married and remained together till he and I as well as my parents sailed to the Americas, which was where I met my demise. So needless to say, my class varied, but I can stay solid for many hours now, and that's when I really like to live. I did learn English, Spanish and French, as well as Portuguese over the years while I just watched people. I still have that habit of just...sitting and watching people, I love watching people live their lives, and move on, while I'm still stuck here, as a ghost. Oh well...eventually I'll figure out why I'm here, otherwise now, I don't mind it, I like to befriend supernaturals, but I will admit I'm looking for that special someone, my soul-mate. I doubt it will happen, but it's nice to think it could. "
