Background / History

Li Meng was admitted to Jiuyou Academy’s Astronomy 08-1 class as an unusually young student. At twelve years old, she was among the youngest First University entrants in nearly a century and was known as a rare Spirit Witch from the Li family of Shu. 38 193

Li Meng first met Zheng Qing on the special enrollment flight, where she eagerly introduced herself and her First University admission letter. She was one of his earliest classmates and friends, and took particular pride in Jiang Yu’s academic standing. 38 41 78

The revelation that Zheng Qing was a scholarship student damaged the friendship she had formed with him and others on the special flight. Feeling deceived, she spent a week threatening or ignoring them before reluctantly accepting Zheng Qing’s apology after Jiang Yu intervened. She continued to sanction Zhang Jixin and Xiao Xiao. 174

She owns Li Neng, a sentient plush bear whom she treats as her partner and protects closely. 112 After Li Neng was dirtied in the woods, Li Meng attempted to hide it from the dormitory rules; she also remained determined to identify and repay a large black cat that had saved Jiang Yu. 719

Li Meng later left her room at night and entered the dangerous grove near Linzhong Lake. Found asleep in the woods with Zheng Qing, she had no memory of arriving there and was sent to the school hospital after being awakened; the incident also highlighted her history of fainting episodes. 1185 1187

As she grew older, Li Meng became involved in the You Zui Hunting Team’s affairs as its deputy team manager. She also began tutoring younger children, including the Zheng sisters, while retaining her tendency to encourage their more adventurous schemes. 2009 2087 2996 3333

Personality

Li Meng is protective of those she considers her own. She defends Jiang Yu in team discussions, encourages Poseidon and the Zheng sisters when they seek greater responsibility, and is willing to assign collective responsibility when their group causes trouble. 3328 3333 3362
