elaboration / 
meet team spirit's very own smile angel. she always seem introverted at first, like for example, in an interview. lu mei is very shy and observant at first, but once she sees what vibes or auras people give out in the situation, she adapts and show her creative bubbly personality like as if a switch went on between her extraversion and introversion…? a real ray of sunshine, she's most definitely is. 
lu mei symbolizes fun and versatility. she is child like, playful and engineered to makes the rest of the members happy. she is adept at bringing joy into lives. she also is a witty and a good conversationalist, the person who people truly wants to be around at any party or social functions. she has such strong people skill. lu mei appreciate both casual small talks and deep meaningful conversations, which are just like two sides of a similar coin for her, and is adept at guiding the interactions in ways that feel completely natural and unforced. she is approachable, interesting and exciting, she gets along with pretty much everyone, and her circles of friends stretch far and wide.
although she creates a lot of joy for people around her, she is unfortunately not as good at making herself truly happy when she's sad at times. she hides those feeling behind the mask of happiness. it takes a lot of work to make her truly happy, and that it takes only a little something to ruin it. while emotional expression is healthy and natural, with lu mei, it can come out strongly enough to cause problems. particularly when under stress, criticism or conflict. she thus need a patient people around her and people who are willing to work for her happiness. diving inside, she tends to spend a lot of time in her head, even to the point of thinking too much. she don't trust things fully, she looks for underlying motives in even the simplest things. it’s not strange for lu mei to lose a bit of sleep asking herself why someone did what they did, what it might mean, and what to do about it.  
when it regards to new ideas, lu mei want to go out and experience, she don’t hesitate to step out of her comfort zones to do so. she is imaginative and open-minded, seeing all things as part of a big, mysterious puzzle called life. she is quite clever. not academically but she is naturally curious and develop a broad knowledge of many different subject areas. it helps that she's perceptive and picks up on things that others miss. and, her cleverness extends to mind and body. she also the competent and expert at many and varied tasks. she also can be a formidable competitor in competition, contest or on the athletics field. underneath her gentle exterior is a real loads of competitive streak. 
lu mei loathe being micromanaged and restrained by heavy-handed rules, the challenge for her is that she lives in that world, mnet does the checks and balances. it's hard for lu mei to maintain interest as tasks drift towards routine. she can be unrealistically romantic and an over confident gambler. that's understandable in a way given her quick mind allows her to make it through situations that foils others. still, if she takes enough risks, her gambling instincts could be her downfall. finally it must be say that she has a reputation for being a flirt and one of the most promiscuous of the members. can't let all that charm fo to waste.

background
her family is not the wealthiest nor poor, she comes from a upper middle-class military family. her father is respectable in the military, one of the captains. her father always remind her brother and her while growing up to know their limit and don't be careless with all wealth and success. because life is like a spinning wheel, we doesn't know when will we get forced to go down or take a dive. 
aside from giving the prep talks, she's not that close with her father, he has always been busy with work. the younger her was resentful about her father's lack of attention and him rarely staying at home but learn to disregard that as she grew up. while her housewife mother is always at home, looking after the kids, she has this habit of comparing the brother and sister. she has soft spot for the son.
since kid, lu han was known as the smart and talented boy. while for lu mei, she would always be the second after her brother. both of the kids are pretty and adorable but the younger one can't seemed to concentrate on her study. even when she tried, she would be late in picking up the subjects. especially during mathematics and science classes, she would ended up daydreaming or drawing. luckily, her teachers can't really be mad at the sweetcheeks.
despite the comparison, lu han and lu mei were close, lu mei is the type of younger sibling who will follow and love whatever lu han do, it turns out lu han has this special love to perform and sing on stage. without any thought, the younger her decided that she going to have the same dream. her passion was then developed by times. she never get professional training but only following what she sees from internet, her teacher is youtube.
the father doesn't support the kids' dream, correction, lu han's drem, as he was the very first to be vocal about his dream in becoming an idol. when he said he want to be an idol, he had blacklash against that. the mother had been unsure but goes besides the father, she said no to lu han. that what lead to lu han leaving home and lu mei rarely see him again. their parent told them entertainment world had no hope as a career choices, but let lu han go anyway.
life without lu han had been boring and lonely, although the siblings still talk through phonecalls, texts and skype. she was thrilled to tell the parents about exo's showcase that they never turned up to. lu mei did live streamed and she wished she has the penny to fly to korea for the event. her gege grew up all this way without financial or family support (except for her) and look how far he had come. she decided that she was going to do the same.

lu han | 28 | soloist 
"gege, one day i will be holding a concert with more attendants than yours."

lu han is an extremely independent and ambitious person. he sacrificed his family ties for his own career. he has picked up alot of emotional pain, enduring the world from his teen years to now all alone. he has his own studio and crew now and is a self produced and owned artist, and that is such a respectable aspect about him. lu mei has been in touch with him throughout the year but only able to meet him after he exit exo and stay in china. she sets him as her pacemaker, he is like the one mountain that can give her comfort on life and dream.

hata sawako | 23 | member of hot blooded dance crew 
"no matter, who i meet there, i won't forget about you dummy~ i'll miss your bangs."

sawako is the younger sister of hata rie, the superstar choreograhper of hot blooded dance crew. sawako skills can't be compared to her sister's yet. she is indeed good though. she is quite moody and a bit spoiled. she always feels insecure when she's to be compared to her sister but she try to not show that to people. sawako and lu mei has the opposite personalities but they really goes well together.their dance skills are on par with one another, they has one of the best synchronization when dance together.

STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES / 
her background end with the promise she made to herself, this is the continuation. far ahead on 2015 after lu han exit his group. she went to visit him. she had recently turned 20, they went to a hotel to have a buffet breakfast when he suddenly popped out the question. he asked lu mei if she is still interested in becoming an idol. ofcourse she said yes, nothing can stop her now that she's of age and doesn't need her parent's permission anymore. lu han did mentioned that according to korean idol system, lu mei is considered old and late, she replied that that was why she won't wavered anymore.
she was trained by her brother (mostly) and the hot blood dance crew, everyday is filled with routines of sweat and blood, a year later, tears were added. she was not good in singing as she thought she was. she wanted to give up several time but her brother was there, kept supporting till the end. once in awhile, lu han invited a special vocal trainer to teach and gives feedback on lu mei's vocal.
lu mei is lucky to have lu han as her brother, she doesn't realised how he had hardcarry her dream until she gotten a spot in team spirit. now she is finally fullfilling her dreams and becoming a star herself. there are only a few weeks left until her departure to korea, but then she read more online discussion stating, that she is only in the show because of her famous sibling because people think, seeing as how great he is she have to be at least half as good.
it's heartbreaking, after all the sweat, tears and blood she wasted while practicing. Many thoughts, mixed feelings, playing in her head and emotion. she break down, almost quitting the show until a wake up slap from sawako printed on her cheek. in the end, she comes with only one plan, facing everyone head on. she will strive to be the best, to prove to everyone that she is not just half as good as her brother. she want to be recognized as herself not as someone's sister. 
 
STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES / 
visual + expressions ; jung chaeyeon who? zhou jieqiong who? recalling back the sensational topics of ending fairy and top beauty in the all girls' competition, we would never ever miss lu mei's name. sometimes it's something we've to be born with and lu mei is one of the lucky girl.
► dancing ; as someone who dare to put main dancer in her profile, she has the reason for that but people tend to forget, it shouldn’t be much of a surprise.  lu mei is a quick learner and shows power when she dances. her body moves in synch with the moves for sure, knowing when to go hard and when to slow down with grace. she has more than just a knack for movement.
► singing ; for someone trained more in dance and whose native tongue is another, lu mei is a decent singer in hangul.  she has a steady and average voice, better from when the first time she started her training. although she still need to further her training in voice projection. she’s amongst the hardest to hear during the live stages.
► acting ; if she is to debut through the show, her chance to expand her career from singing to acting is huge. if not in korea, in her motherland, china. she is indeed never once joining any acting classes or try out for any role's auditions. but this is a possibility to be kept in mind, acting-dol is in the market. (bonus ; think of the other faces of the group)

//// THE TALK ////
Hello lu mei! Congratulations on being nominated for RD V Blu, how do you feel? / 
► she looks into at the camera while pursing her lips, processing the hangul into mandarin. "ecstatic! happy! excited! nervous! everything is jumbling inside of me but the positive ones are the most. i can't wait to start the official filming, i mean the practices and stages. the things that make this feel realer." she explains, shortly after looking surprised at her own korean.
 
Please introduce yourself like an idol? / 
► she smiles sweetly. "hello everyone, i'm lu mei the smile angel." she pauses and shows a wider smile showcasing her white pearls. "with the visual or with dance moves, i'll purify your sight and brighten your day!"
 
Are you nervous for the competition? Professional Mentors? Or even being around the stunning Kang Daniel? /
► she nods thoughtfully as everything seems to flow into her understanding better. "it's normal to feel nervous but for now, i want to channel myself into something more positive. i want to learn and grow into a better trainee within the span of time. i've heard the big names are going to couch us, i can't wait to receive their special training and feedback." she smiles and stays quiet before widens her eyes. "oh- kang daniel-sunbaenim, he is indeed stunning, but my eyes are on our beloved fans." she winks.
 
Are you ready to work with other passionite trainees like youself? / 
► she takes a deep breath, seeming to be caught in her own emotional before giving an delicate smile. "i've never train with other trainee but i know, i know there's a lot, so many girls with the same dream of mine." tears trickles down her delicate face. "i'm sorry, what's wrong with me? i'm too eager to meet the other girls with the same dream!" she wipes the tears and yells cutely.
 
Thank you for your time! How about one final message to your future fans, and your fellow competitiors? 
► her eyes still red from tears and she scowls when the staff mention 'competitors'. "aaah~ don't say that. i would love to call them fellow dreamers. everyone, let's walk on flower road." she grins. "last but not least, to my beloved fans, future fans, i will not disappoint, i will think of you through my journey. we will become each other's strength."
 
//// THE FINAL ACT ////
final words / FINALLY! FINISHED! oh god, i'd work with my utmost care, i hope i didn't miss any errors somewhere but do tell me if i have to fix or add something. she's inspired by all the amazing new visual legends in kpop and luhan himself, this label exist and honestly, i don't think he gonna open the label for other people, luhan has his own label for himself for a reason.
scene reqs / 
► i'm thinking about self promoting mission where they need to do guerilla performances in the middle of somewhere, let's say gangnam?
► also a mission involving self producing, the members will be given a base song and they need to make it into their own with lyrics, raps, choreo etc
