Meifang Lapislazuli

Meifang Lapislazuli (メイファン＝ラピスラズリ) is the leader of the World Void Information Control Organization’s 0th Division. She first appears in BlazBlue: Variable Heart.

Appearance
Meifang is a young woman with fair skin, long black hair tied into two pigtails, and blue eyes. She wears a red and white headgear that resembles horns, a white cape with a red and white dress underneath it, a dark form-fitting bodysuit, and long black socks with standard Control Organization boots.

When she was a child, she wore a traditional Chinese dress and two lotus flowers hair accessories on each sides of her pigtails.

Personality
Meifang is masochistic and somewhat psychopathic, and does not let anyone stand in her way. Everything she does is for the sake of the Emperor, but she still retains a bit of common sense, as when she ordered her men to not lay a hand on Tsubaki Yayoi, since she does not want to quarrel with her family.

When she was a child, she was a sweet, nice, and friendly girl. She was very loyal towards Tenjō and they became very good friends.

In the years following Tenjō’s death and the Ikaruga Civil War her personality changed drastically.

BlazBlue: Variable Heart
On June 2197, Meifang was in the 2nd Hierarchical City of Iwatsuchi, where she took interest in Mai Natsume. She ordered a soldier to tell Mai that Hibiki Kohaku asked her to go to the ninth storage room, where she introduced herself to the girl, saying that she needs her body for her desire, and attacked Mai. The girl was saved by Kagura Mutsuki, but he was defeated, and Meifang went to catch up with Mai. Kajun Faycott sent Mai a spear, and Meifang recognized it as a Legacy Weapon. Mai was able to hold out until the teleport activated, and Meifang realized that the girl was saved by Kokonoe Mercury.

Later, when Meifang was taking a bath she was visited by Hazama, the one who told her about Mai and her No Name. Hazama said that the facility will resume operations tomorrow, and asked her what she had sent to the 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi. Instead of answering, she stood up and told Hazama to get out of her way. He commented on her Painkiller, and Meifang sent him into her bathtub with a kick. Then she was attacked by Yūki Terumi, in his ghost form, who strangled her for a bit, but when a soldier rushed to see what was happening, both Hazama and Terumi had disappeared. Meifang told the soldier to contact the First Lieutenant that was heading to Kagutsuchi, mentioned that information was leaked, and ordered to wake up the 16th Fuzzy.

Meifang would be later seen in the outskirts of Kagutsuchi, investigating how the train carrying Bell had suddenly stopped and why she was missing. She inspected the snow, wondering if it was why communications were down, and began to ask the nearby NOL officers questions about what happened. One of them spoke about being presented papers that looked as if they were signed by the Imperator, but his tone annoyed Meifang and she executed him on the spot. She spoke down to the other officers, reminding them that speaking badly of the Imperator is treason and punishable by death. Fuzzy appeared and hugged Meifang and they used Ars Magus to share information. She left Fuzzy to deal with the officers as she had branded them traitors. Meifang began making her way to a facility that she believed Jubei would be infiltrating.

Meifang would return to the outskirts, finding that Fuzzy was fighting Mai, Kajun, Ragna the Bloodedge, Taro Sasagae, and Shiori Kirihito. She blocked an attack from Mai, taking the blow of Outseal onto the palm of her hand, shocking Kajun who thought it impossible. Meifang explained that she used Ars Magus to stop it from piercing her skin, but it had still damaged her arm. After comforting Fuzzy, she turned to Ragna, being shocked that the Azure Grimoire would be present. The Zero Squadron had arrived and surrounded them all, and Meifang ordered that Bell, Ragna, and Mai be captured, and that the others should taste the "best Hell". Sadly for her, however, Rachel Alucard appeared and teleported the group away from Meifang and her squadron.

Because of Fuzzy's failure to complete his mission, Meifang disposed of him and used the data he accumulated to overwrite the 17th and 18th unit of an unknown line.

On an airship, Meifang received a report from Hazama that Mai was with the Hazuki family and Meifang said it was as she thought. She ordered her men to continue surveillance. She then said she knew Houichirou and Rin Hazuki would get in her way one day and started thinking about how to deal with them. She soon awakened the other Fuzzy units, having them bring Bell to her at the cauldron at the 11th Hierarchical City of Shinatsu, who was followed by Mai. She gleefully stared at the captured girls. She toyed with them, and revealed her goal to create another Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi using No-Name and Bell, briefly being contacted with Kokonoe and threatening to destroy Sector Seven the instant she would gain control of the Nox. Meifang and the Fuzzy were soon interrupted by Jin, who froze one of the vampires.

Powers and abilities
Meifang does not use a weapon, instead she fights with Magic Formula and her bare hands. She possesses an ability named “Painkiller”, which removes the sense of pain from her. She also knows Magic Formula that is used to pass down information to people.
