Lie Meiling is a variation of Hong Meiling that appears as both the main antagonist and one of two final bosses of Touhou Rekkaden, the other being Yukari Yakumo, who fights alongside her on the game's harder difficulties. Lie Meiling also appears as a mid-boss during the game's Extra Stage, where she teams up with both Yukari and Reimu Hakurei.
Lie Meiling is the future self of Hong Meiling, who managed to fully master her ability to manipulate qi after reading an ancient, forgotten grimoire in the Scarlet Devil Mansion library and receiving training from Yukari Yakumo to harness this new facet of her powers. Unbeknownst to Meiling, however, this grimoire would also fill her with an evil energy that would consume her as she defeats more opponents. With Yukari's assistance, Lie Meiling manages to travel back to the present day to challenge her past self, who is secretly being trained by Yukari both in preparation for this match and to overcome her future of being consumed by her own power.
In M.U.G.E.N, Lie Meiling was made twice, once by RicePigeon & Darkflare, and another as an alternate mode for Daiya's Hong Meiling.

Don't get cocky, this is most certainly not your average Meiling. While it's limited to just three buttons, this character has a varied moveset and is very capable of pulling off many combos. This character is certainly one Raging Youkai.
