Shadow Mei

Shadow Mei (カゲメイ, Kage Mei) was originally an omokage Mei accidentally created in her dying moments. Later it is discovered that Shadow Mei is one of the 3 parts of the soul of the Ayakashi Medium, along with Suzu and Kanade. She currently lives alongside humans under the name of Mei Hirasaka and pretending to be Suzu's cousin.

Appearance
Shadow Mei is the same as Mei, due to being a shadow of her. Unlike Mei though, Shadow Mei keeps her hair down. Shadow Mei wears Mei's Ayakashi Medium outfit. She has been seen wearing the uniform of the high school that Matsuri and Suzu attend.

Personality
Being a shadow of Mei in her last seconds of life, Shadow Mei cursed humans and wants to exterminate them at all costs. Her main motive is to obtain Suzu's body so that she can use the true power of the Ayakashi Medium. With the passage of time and having a relationship with humans, Shadow Mei adapted to society and currently values her friends very much. Being an ayakashi from the edo era, she is afraid of modern technology, being scared of cameras (due to the legend that taking a picture steals your soul) and being surprised by buses.

Plot
Before her death, Mei made an omokage who years later would be released. This omokage would inherit Mei's hatred towards humans and would try to exterminate them. Some time later after the battle between Sosuke and Matsuri, Shadow Mei would arrive to rescue Sosuke and give him a use as a lackey. After the exorcism of the Hiderigami, Shadow Mei would appear before Garaku to demonstrate her existence. After a while, Shadow Mei would appear before Matsuri and Soga having a battle to show them her strength, at the end of this Shadow Mei seeks and possesses Suzu in order to have all her power. After the battle against Matoi, Shadow Mei is injured and is healed by Garaku who betrays Matsuri and the others by hiding in a remote fort in the forest. After Sosuke's defeat and seeing that her hiding place had been found, she tells Suzu and the others that they must keep her alive as without her they will not be able to return Matsuri and Shirogane to their original forms. After that, Shadow Mei would enter the high school to pose as a human while she recovers.
