TheSwedishElf said: Yes, Hsien-Ko/Lei-Lei is Chinese. The tag should be "chinese clothes".
And even if she wasn't, her costume is more or less Manchu Court dress (for why that is see below)
Of greater problem is what our little girl is doing. Hsien-Ko/Lei-Lei is a Kyonshi (yes, I know that's the Japanese word for it but I can never spell the real Chinese way correctly reliably), basically a chinese vampire/zombie that's why she has the powder blue complexion she move in the game with those bunny hops (Kyonshies unlike western vampires, are not free from rigor mortis), and also why she dresses like that (Kyonshies are always shown in media dressed in the costumes of Manchu courtiers, due to a certain racial prejudice (the native chinese hated the Manchu invaders, an the implication was that much as a Kyonshi could suck the life out of you so the Manchu were sucking the life out of China) so far so good. The problem with waht Lei-Lei is doing is the follwing, much as western vampires are repelled by garlic Kyonshi's are harmed/repelled by garlic, and beans, and roast pork, and ice cream, and bread, and ginger and a lot of other foods. Even SMELLING any of these is supposed to be fatal to one. Regardless of what those bao are filled with, Lei-Lei shouldn't be able to get within SIX FEET of them let alone eat them.
