Soumei (黎冥 , Chinese pinyin: Lí míng) is a fictional character in the Shaman King 2001 anime series. She is the younger sister of Gein and a member of Team "Noroshi".
Appearance[]
Soumei is a fairly tall young girl with short, above-shoulder length brown hair that ends in slight spiky curls, black eyes, and fair skin. She is commonly seen in a yellow vest with white fringes that has a green T-shirt beneath, dark green pants and white boots.
Personality[]
She and her brother, Kyou, are very similar. Like Kyou, Soumei is serious, aggressive and vengeful, as she, along with her brother, also had her guardian ghost ruthlessly attack Tao Jun and Lee Pyron until she was stopped by Tao Ren. In addition to this, she openly expressed her anger and contempt towards Ren when she thought that he betrayed her and her siblings, which only emphasized her vengeful demeanor.
However, despite her harsh personality, she, like her brother, also has a soft side, which is usually shown when speaking about Gein, their older sister. This is seen when she and Kyou tearfully and angrily state to Ren that their sister never had any sort of romantic relationship because she spent most of her time serving the Tao family. (In the English version, rather than crying about their sister's lack of romances, they instead cried that she never had the chance of making her dream of becoming a ballerina) This indicates that she cares greatly about her older sister and the latter's happiness.
It has also been shown that Soumei is somewhat afraid of being yelled at, as her tough demeanor momentarily faltered when Ren shouted at her and Kyou for attacking Jun. Thereby showing slight childish tendencies.
