Fan Casting Anime Chinese Girl in Sort by Tropes

A cute Chinese girl, usually with a variable accent. Nearly guaranteed to dress at some point in a qipao (or, almost as often, a tangzhuang) and has Odango Hair. A very high proportion (even for anime) will know martial arts, always in a Chinese style. Most of them will be called Lanhua (more often spelled Ranpha in merchandise), Meiling (sometimes Mei Lin), or some other popular name, even though there are many options for Chinese names.
