Mei Lin

Mei Lin (メイ・リン, Mei Rin; 梅林, Méi Lín) is the young granddaughter of Gen Fu, and is the reason behind the master's motives of joining the Dead or Alive World Combat Championship. She seems to be under the care of her grandfather, and the whereabouts of her parents are unknown.

History
After Mei Lin fell sick from a strange, unknown disease, Gen Fu entered the first and second tournaments to win money to fund for a operation to cure her.

After she was cured, Gen Fu once again entered the third tournament to win money to pay off the mecical bill. After that, Mei Lin fully recovered and Gen Fu no longer entered the tournaments, allowing him to spend time with her again.

When Gen Fu's apprentice, Eliot comes home from the fourth tournament, she called out to him, before the two of them start to play together. It seems that the two of them have a very close relationship, almost sibling-like.

Trivia

 * It is unclear whether or not Helena Douglas knows about Mei Lin. Due to dialogue between her and Gen Fu in Dead or Alive 2, Helena and Gen Fu's conversation shows that Helena cares about Gen Fu when she offers to pay for Mei Lin's operation. However, Gen Fu refuses and a fight ensues which Helena wins.
