My background story for Empress Mei Shui:

Mei Shui is a mythical empress that once ruled China in a forgotten fairytale.  She is usually only seen in her human form, but is commonly referred to as "the Koi Empress", because it is said that her true form is a koi mermaid.  It is a rare sight to actually see Mei Shui in her koi mermaid form, swimming in the lakes near the palace.
