Meilin doesn't exist in the CCS Manga - she was created for the anime.

COMMENTS:
Meilin is Li-kun's cousin who comes to attend Tomoeda Elementary school in order to help Li-kun catch the Clow Cards so he will come home. Due to a promise made when they were childern, she considers Li-kun her fiancee, and tells everyone so, much to Li-kun's discomfort Meilin is an excellent Chinese-food cook (although she has a lot of trouble with cakes) and martial artist. Even though she is a member of the Li clan, she does not possess any magical abilities. She lives with Li-kun and Wei in their apartment. She is jealous of the time Li-kun spends with Sakura when they capture cards, and the relationship that shared activity is developing between them.

COMMENTS:
Meilin is a transfer student and also Li-kun's cousin, who arrives to help Li search for the Clow Cards. Why? Bascially, she is infatuated with him, plain and simple. Plain and simple, Meilin considers herself engaged to Li-kun. She is always concerned that other girls are out to steal Li; Sakura in particular. Nonetheless, Meilin does manage to be friendly with Sakura upon occassion. Their friendship actually develops quite a bit over the CCS episodes. Even though she lacks magical skills, she is an excellent gymnast and an advanced martial artist.
