BlazBlue: Spiral Shift – Hero of the Frozen Blade

Meifang Lapislazuli (メイファン=ラピスラズリ) is a colonel of the Novus Orbis Librarium and the leader of the Zeroth Squadron. She was a great threat during the Ikaruga Civil War, and had murdered and tortured many people to achieve her goals.

Meifang is the main antagonist of BlazBlue: Variable Heart and a major antagonist of BlazBlue: Spiral Shift – Hero of the Frozen Blade. She was revealed for BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War on the 26th of May, 2021.

Appearance

Meifang's usual attire

Meifang is a woman with a fair complexion, light blue eyes, and black hair. Her hair is tied back by a large crimson ornament, which resembles horns, into two tails. She wears a simple, tight-fitting red NOL dress with a large cream NOL coat over it, signifying she is a member of the Zeroth Squad. The coat has two crosses on the shoulders and several brown straps running around itself. She also wore black tights and the standard issue NOL boots, albeit cream colored.

Inside her Phantom Field, Meifang's sclera turned black and her long hair was let loose, flaying in multiple directions. Multiple black lines ran across her cheeks.

In BBDW, Meifang has an alternate outfit where she wears a revealing sleeveless black dress. This dress has golden rimming and two crosses in the centre. The dress has a thin, see-through black fabric across its length. She also wears two long sleeves that start at her biceps and comes down to her wrists. These sleeves reach down to her legs and have an ornate design along the rim. Meifang's nails are painted black in this outfit.

Personality

A masochist without remorse for her victims, Meifang was devoid of most emotions and only sought to do what she believed was right. The only goal she had was to make Izanami come into the world, and she cared for little else. Everyone around her is disposable in her eyes, no matter how important they may be, and how affectionate she may have seemed towards them in the past.

Meifang has deeply rooted feelings for Tenjo Amanohokosaka, willing to do everything and anything for her and her goals in life. She was disgusted with the Ikaruga Civil War and why it began, finding the pursuit of a Black Beast's power foul. To this end, Meifang believes that the only way to protect Tenjo is with power to fight against power.

In her own time, Meifang enjoys gardening.

Powers and Techniques

Meifang is a deft user of Ars Magus, and has displayed several abilities exclusive to her, such as Pain Killer, which makes her completely immune to all forms of pain - it doesn't seem to be an ability she can turn off, however, as she actually enjoys the pain which is inflicted upon her. As well as this, she is capable of using a mysterious technique that allows her to instantly deal a blow strong enough to punch a clean hole through the average person. Additionally, she is able to use strengthening Ars Magus on her body, which can even block attacks from Outseal (although not completely).

In BBDW, Meifang primarily fights using strikes with her hands and legs. She demonstrates her power with kicks that can launch the opponent into the air and her flexibility with high kicks that reach above her head. Despite all her powers, according to Houichirou Hazuki, it's disgraceful to the Hazuki name that Mai was defeated by Meifang, and that the latter is weak.
