Hsien-Ko (Lei-Lei in Japan) is a video game character in the Darkstalkers series.

Story

Hsien-Ko was born around the 1740s with a twin named Mei Ling (Lin-Lin in Japan). During this time, ghosts and spirits of the dead arose from their resting places and attacked a rural Chinese village. After her mother died by a powerful demon (was said to be Demitri), she and her sister decided to use Tensei no Jutsu before her mother died but they used a prohibited sub-division of this technique, Igyo Tenshin no Jutsu, and fight to release their mother's soul from the dark.

This turned the twins into a Kuang-Shi, or a type of Chinese Zombie. This however, also gave the two unusual abilities which the two use to fight for their purposes. Mei Ling is actually the ward paper on Hsien-Ko face. Hsien-Ko's powers cannot be fully controlled unless Mei Ling does so herself when she becomes the Ward-Paper. If she separates from Hsien-Ko, many of Hsien-Ko's abilities no longer work, so they essentially fight as one. Hsien-Ko is the "body", and Mei Ling the "mind." Once in a while however, Mei Ling does come out to team up with Hsien-Ko as seen by their Dark Force ability in Darkstalkers 3.

The two fight many battles during Night Warriors, and eventually win the freedom of their mothers' soul, but at the cost of their own lives. Before death however, the spirit of their mother claims she will not let oblivion become their reward, and the twins' souls are reborn as infants in a new life.

As of Darkstalkers 3, The two live a happy, normal life in their reincarnation. However on their 16th birthday, weird things begin to happen to them. They have the same dream and the next night, they been a coma and their souls were transported to the Dark Realm, which called to them. They found themselves in weird costumes, and although their memories of their past life are sketchy, things begin to slowly come back to them. They regained their unique power of transformation they had lost during the death of the life preceding this one. Now as saviors and hunters once more, they must find their way home to Earth Realm.
