Description

A former undercover investigator, she was assigned as Detective Sergeant because her cover was blown when she was arrested during Poole's first investigation. She was the team's best investigator after Poole, often handling the computer work. Initially, she and Poole did not get along at all as a result of a culture clash, but over time the two began to get along better and made a good team, and their friendship even showed hints of romance. When Poole briefly left the island, she admitted she admired him considerably, and was pleased when he chose to return. His murder in the opening scenes of Series 3 devastated her and she was unsure about his successor, DI Humphrey Goodman, although she warmed to him over time. She was then offered an undercover job in Paris in Series 4, and she decided to leave. As she left, she kissed Humphrey despite not previously expressing emotions for him, although he had for her. Her mother Catherine owns a popular local bar. Her father, Marlon Croft, who lives in the neighboring island of St. Lucia, reappears in Series 3, Episode 5, protecting his goddaughter, who's implicated in a case.

Ninpō: Mawashi Doku ( 忍 ( にん ) 法 ( ぽう ) 廻 ( まわ ) し 毒 ( どく ) , Literal meaning: Ninja Art: Rotating Venom): Yuzuriha creates a lasso out of her body fluid. This is called Ninpo: Toxic Twirl in the Viz Manga. Yuzuriha is very fond of Sagiri and is more friendly towards her than any of her other allies of the vanguard. She was already on good terms with Sagiri ever since she allied with Gabimaru and started calling her "Sagi-rin" (さぎりん) — "-rin" being a much friendly and "cuter" way of using the honorific "-chan" (which is usually used by teenage girls). She was grateful to Sagiri for being concern for her well-being after she demanded Mu Dan to free her from his clutches, despite the fact that she was prepared to leave her behind after sensing how dangerous the Tensen was, and wanted to make sure that she could escape enemy territory along with her. After fighting together to defeat Mu Dan, the two have gotten very close, which shows on Yuzuriha's part as she would often try to invade Sagiri's personal space. Sagiri in turn views Yuzuriha as an ally she has come to trust and respect and was happy to see her alive after her life-threatening battle against Ran. Yuzuriha's first encounter with Gabimaru was during the gathering of the death row criminals for the shogun's mission where she was placed right next to him. Yuzuriha recognized Gabimaru based on the descriptions about him as a famous shinobi but felt disappointed with his capture. After reuniting with him on the island, Yuzuriha sought out his strength and proposed to form an alliance that would benefit them both, to which he agreed to. However, she had no intentions of fighting alongside him and did not care for his well-being after he chose to head out to Hōrai alone. Au Bonheur des Dames; first trans. by Robin Buss in 2001. Penguin Classics. ISBN 978-0-14-044783-5 (re-issued 2004) Gabimaru asks the Dōshi why they wanted Mei. The Dōshi explains that she is a part of their training in Bōchū Jutsu where they preform sexual congress and join their Yang with her Yin, which causes her to become frighten. She continues to tremble as he explains to them her past of being banished from the palace, being scarred by Rien and given the option of dying or being part of the Dōshi's training. Hearing enough of what they had to say, Gabimaru and Gantetsusai stand behind Mei to defend her from the transformed Dōshi's.The game had thought of everything, providing great little touches such as invites, character booklets, and menu and music suggestions to help set the scene for the evening. The menu was not what I would normally have served but provided a good opportunity for me to try something different and keep to the theme of the night. The invites were very provisional looking, making the party that little bit more special and mysterious. Thanks to the character books, everyone got into character adding their own creativeness to the night which provided for an excellent, very amusing, fun filled dinner. Mei possesses Water-attribute Tao and has knowledge of its principles. Despite her small body, she has been shown capable of using it to enhance her physical strength and cause harm to her targets. Mei is also able to release a large amount of her Tao to create craters. However, after her tanden was broken, Mei's Tao usage was limited as any large quantity she lost would cause her to mature until she reached her original body and slowly Arborify. This side effect could only be reversed if she absorbed another beings Tao to rejuvenate herself, similar to the consumption of Tan. During her final moments, Mei was also shown capable of creating Tao illusions. To see that her journey goes smoothly, Yuzuriha opted to form alliances with a few of the criminals but with the intentions of using them for her own benefit. After events involving Lord Tensen led up to the surviving criminals and executioners meeting up in Hōrai, Yuzuriha realized that the only way she and the others could all leave the island alive is through cooperation. Upon their alliance, Yuzuriha shared her knowledge of how Tao works, and when the time came to raid Hōrai, she contributed in the life risking battles and cooperate well with the others. To Mu Dan) " Anyone who messes with me and my life is dead meat! God or not, I'll tear you apart!!" [25] We all had a great night and I will definitely be recommending this product to others in the hope I will receive an invite to their murder mystery dinner party. I would give this product a well deserved 3.5 out of 5.

Since she was the first Tensen created by Rien, Mei was originally the oldest out of her siblings. This role was eventually passed on to Gui Fa after Mei spent a presumable amount of time reviving from the Basin. Raytracing requires a compatible NVidia RTX GPU, DirectX 12 and Windows 10 Build 1809. To play with Raytracing, please launch the game in DirectX 12 mode.Yuzuriha is a very capable kunoichi with a criminal record that caused her to be considered too dangerous to be kept alive and was put on death row. During her time serving the Kai clan, the village chief highly valued Yuzuriha, given her many accomplishments on the missions she was tasked with. She was able to single-handedly start a raid on Sagiwa Castle where she managed to take down every single retainer there on guard and kill the Kai chief who was present at the time. [16] [17] Among the death row criminals who were gathered for the Shinsenkyō expedition, Yuzuriha was marked by the shogun's retainers as being one of the most noteworthy candidates for the mission, which proved to be true as she was one of the ten who were capable enough to survive the battle royale, with her hands restrained no less. The BBC used the novel as the basis for a 2012 eight-part television series set in northern England titled The Paradise. [2] It starred Joanna Vanderham and Emun Elliott. The BBC launched a second series in October 2013. For reasons unknown, Mei was the only Tensen created without possessing Yang chi. According to a Dōshi, this was supposedly the reason as to why she was banished from Hōrai since she was viewed by Lord Tensen as an "inferior breed". Additionally, Mei's Kishikai does not show any signs of having two bodies representing Yin and Yang. At some unknown point in time before leaving the island, Gui Fa had managed to acquire either a replica or the original plant ovule of Mei's and had it cultivated within the Basin to allow her to be revived along with the other Tensens.
