She is usually only seen in her human form, but is commonly referred to as "the Koi Empress", because it is said that her true form is a koi mermaid. It is a rare sight to actually see Mei Shui in her koi mermaid form, swimming in the lakes near the palace.Line ArtOther Mermaids in myMERMAID SERIES(Going since 2006!)
