History

Raiden Mei was born on April 13, 1997, in Nagazora City, Japan to Raiden Ryoma, the CEO of the electronic company and Anti-Entropy subsidiary ME Corp, and her unnamed mother. Thanks to Raiden Ryoma’s position with ME Corp, the Raiden clan enjoyed great wealth and prestige. Mei was an only child and her mother passed away in 1999 due to cancer, leaving her to be raised alone by her father, who she rarely got to see due to his busy work schedule.Although her upbringing was strict, never even having a pet, Mei had a close bond with her father and treasured the time they spent together. She studied the Raiden clan’s personal style of Hokushin-Itto-ryu kenjutsu under his tutelage. Mei was a child prodigy and thrived in these lessons, attaining the highest levels of mastery and understanding of the sword arts. During their lessons together, Mei’s father also offered her encouragement and advice when she doubted herself and instilled in her mental fortitude and the ability to withstand and learn from adversity. He hoped the spirit and skills she attained from studying kendo would prove useful to her in the future. In 2004, Mei was abducted by a terrorist organization. After the experience, she underwent treatment for mental trauma at a private institution within ME Corp for three years. Years later, Mei enrolled in Chiba Academy, a school in Nagazora City famous for the wealth of its students, at about sixteen years of age. Although many of her peers wished to become close to her due to her wealth and the prestige of the Raiden family name, Mei struggled to make friends. One of the few people she was close with was her chauffeur, who drove her to and from school in a black limousine every day. He made a point of talking to her in the car, inquiring how school was and telling her about her father’s work. On November 16, 2013, Mei’s father was arrested on charges of massive economic fraud and thrown into prison. Although in actuality Raiden Ryoma was innocent and the victim of charges fabricated by his Anti-Entropy rival Cocolia, his arrest had a devastating impact on Mei. The few friends she was able to make at Chiba Academy ostracized her, while other students who coveted her family’s wealth attempted to use the situation to grow close to her. She quickly came to believe that nobody truly cared about her, only the Raiden family name. Unable to trust anyone after losing her father and so-called “friends,” Mei distanced herself from other people. Although it brought some respite to the pain in her heart, she lived in complete isolation until the day of the 3rd Honkai Eruption. Not long after the arrest of Raiden Ryoma, a student named Kiana Kaslana enrolled in Chiba Academy. Although they did not meet while attending school together, she would soon become Mei’s best friend and the most important person in her life.
