If Karta Mei is seen as the symbol for Mei Karta residence, these two rabbits, named Ba Nhii (called Ba) and Shu Rai Ru (called Shu) have become the symbol of the garden in the government building complex, as they really love to play around there. One male and one female, these two rabbits sometimes wander around the village and display lovey-dovey activities to the Jo Mu Ro people in Xin Ye, making them irritated.

Story
 
When Xin Ye decided to start their trading activities oriented in Soybean, Governor Liu encountered the challenge of what to do with the soybean. As the raw material itself is limited in trading values and the village only capable of processing it into tofu. A helpful advice came from the SM Group, based from the local tales of the soybean farmers who witnessed the legendary discussion of Governor Liu and Lady Furen (still known as Zhao Zilong at that time) with Hyeok-Jae and Yoon-ah from. Governor Liu was amazed at the vision of those two, especially Yoon-ah who mastered many abilities and recipes to processed the soybean into various products. Since then, based on the notes and recipes from Yoon-ah, Governor Liu socialized the villager of Xin Ye about the skills and recipes of making these various processed products of tofu.

Culture/Unique Behavior
 
In Chi Shi Tuo, where most of the young villagers reside, they loved to start a small business (these young people called it 'startup', whatever that means) which based on the knowledge of recipes from Yoon-ah, socialized by the government, and making it and selling it in the village. This phenomenon starts quite well and combined with the program of 'Happiness is Simple', some of these successful 'little merchants' are also supporting the government program and get married. As a side note, the processed goods from soybean is also made into other unique products, such as 'shoyu', 'kimchi', 'miso', and also one of the famous offerings to the Ki Rin, 'sake' and 'soymilk', which is labeled as healthy and now is promoted to the visiting people and merchant in Xin Ye. Recently, the tofu goods got some kind of mascot, known as Tahuman, a pure white man riding some kind of plate/bottle filled with tofu. Although this mascot was created by those tofu merchants, some of them linked the Tahuman image with Nergui from NUoDE group.

Story
 
Daughter of Liu Xuande and Liu Furen, she was born in 34年7月16日. There was an incident of two Onis infiltrating Xuande's house as they smell the newborn. Thankfully, there were several pugilists ready to help Xuande and Furen to repel the evil creatures. The situation at that time is very dire, even Furen got herself in bloodied situation. In the end, Meiling was rescued and since that time, the Ki Rin has been seen in Xin Ye, no one know if this is just a mere coincidence or not.

Culture/Unique Behavior
 
Due to the heroic effort from the pugilists, Governor Liu decided to gave them the treasure of the Liu's family sword. Lady Yoon-ah from SM Group received this reward, but she promise to return it to Meiling when she reached her adulthood. Recently, Governor Liu quite uneasy with the dream he saw of Meiling in the future dressed up with clothes full of 'butterfly' mark, known symbol of SM Group. Is this a sign of what will happen in the future? Only time will tell (probably not enough time until that moment though).

Special: Meiling's Behavior (META)
 
Meiling behavior is quite random, as she loves to play around with those who close with her. This table is served as random behavior of Meiling:
Roll 1d4
1 = Cry to those who hold her (CHA Persuasion DC 15 to make Meiling calm)
2 = Smile if being called with her name/Meiling
3 = Respond if someone talked with her
4 = Laugh when someone play with her (Roll d100, if 80 or above, those who play with Meiling got 1 inspiration point in that session)
