History: Mindy was born in Hong Kong well before the Chinese re-took possession of it.  Her father was a successful businessman who was a staunch anti-communist.  Knowing that China would take Hong Kong over, he slowly transferred his funds and business to Vancouver, making sure his daughter learned English.

Despite the major change in her life, Min was able to handle it relatively well.  The private schools she was enrolled in had plenty of Chinese students and she grew to love Western culture.  As she became a teenager she decided she wanted to become a vet, which annoyed her father but delighted her mother, who wanted to see her daughter succeed in this new world.

Mindy becamea an avid fan of Lionheart, Karma Doyle, and other female heroes.  It was simply idle hero worship.

Then one day she stumbled across the Science Squad base with a group of other teens, and things...changed...

Over the years Mindy has grown into a capable hero, but these days she has decided to put her super hero "career" on hold and focus on becoming a veterinarian.

Personality: Mindy is a friendly, open minded young woman who is eager to help others, especially animals.  She finds those who are cruel to animals especially henious and does volunteer work with a local animal shelter.

She chose the name Qi-Lin, one of the four beasts of Chinese mythology, this one representing furry beasts as well as being a symbolizing purity, innocence, truth and justice.

Qi-Lin was a founding member of the Neo Phyters and later when they moved to Vancouver, joined the Vindicators but quit when her school grades began to suffer.  When the Neo Phyters were re-formed she agreed to join part time.

Powers/Skills: Mindy is able to speak fluent Cantonese, knows a little Mandarin, and a smattering of Latin.  She has been trained by Karma Doyle in hand-to-hand combat and has mastered a no-nonsense and effective style which is more ground based, consisting of low kicks, quick punches and elbow blows as well as throws and joint holds.  She has basic skill in the use of melee weapons, including the machete, staff, escrima sticks, butterfly swords and knives.  Doyle also stressed teaching in using common objects in melee combat such as chairs, pens, etc.

Mindy is attending college, specializing in veterinary medicine.

The symbiote "riding" upon Mindy's body gives her the ability to alter her body's chemistry for several effects.  internally, she is able to alter her hair, eye and skin color to some extent.  The symbiote can combat fatigue poisons, giving her greater endurance and can provide her with brief moments of hysterical strength.  The symbiote can also effectively fight infection and facilitate healing, although this is nothing like a "healing factor".  The symbiote can also fight off any drug or toxin Qi-Lin is exposed to, although the more lethal/potent the material the harder it is to combat it, so Qi-Lin can still be killed or incapacited this way.

The symbiote can mimic any drug or toxin touched or imbibed by Mindy and can exude it through her sweat glands in a version that works upon skin contact.  Tranquilizers, truth serum (sodium pentathol), hallucinegenics, there is virtually no limit to what she can produce.  Qi-Lin can also produce other compounds like organic acids.

Qi Lin has also learned how to control emotions through the use of emitted pheromones, and can induce a variety of emotional and physical responses, among them fear, rage, lust, calm, and happiness.

The symbiote has some of the memories of past hosts, although they are hazy and not entirely reliable.  The last person who "wore" the symbiote was Harriette "Harry" Matsumoto, the Science Squad's surgeon.  This knowledge has allowed Mind to, over the years, acquire a variety of medical skills making her the equivalent to a paramedic or nurse.

Equipment: Mindy's costume is made of duraweave, a bullet resistant material.  She also wears one of the Science Squad's bullet proof vests beneath her costume as well as steel bracers.  She also has an equipment belt beneath her blouse that can hold a variety of items (i.e. cell phone, PDA, etc.).  She carries a pepper spray dispenser and is not afraid to use it.  Recently she has taken to carrying around a staff she "won" from the villain Paradigm.
