Mei is a reasonably short girl with quite a mature build. She has salmon pink hair, which is generally shoulder-length, although it does vary, which is styled into thick dreadlocks and side-swept to her right. Her eyes are wide and sloped upwards with some notably long upper eyelashes, their irises green-yellow with a cross in the center, making them look somewhat like scope lenses.

In her first appearance, she wears the regular U.A. gym uniform (a dark blue tracksuit decorated with the letters "U" and "A"), but she also adds some of her own gadgets onto it, including red and gold steampunk goggles, a utility belt to hold the various tools she carries around, oversized speed-assisting boots, and what could possibly be a jet pack strung over her shoulders.

She's later seen wearing a plain black tank top with workshop coveralls tied casually around her waist, with the same goggles on her head.

Mei is a smart, off-setting, and assertive girl, often making those around her uncomfortable. She loves creating gadgets, which she refers to as her "super cute babies". Mei has a habit of "going straight to the point” and is very shameless and opportunistic when it comes to advertising her inventions. While talking to people, she has a habit of getting awkwardly close to them, which usually causes them to back away from her but she still moves up to them. She can also be manipulative, as she tricked Tenya Ida into using her support equipment to promote her inventions. Mei believes that while inventors like her may not be fighters, they still help the field of heroics through their inventions.

Mei shows no fear when it comes to failing, seeing it as an opportunity to learn and do better next time, which is why she does not mind when her inventions fail. Mei can be seen as self-centered due to putting her love of inventions and gadgets above others, but this selfishness is not a negative as it is out of motivation to improve herself. She does seem to be a little bit absent-minded as she is easily distracted and can sometimes be completely unaware of her surroundings, as shown by her inability to sense one of her inventions catch on fire as she was speaking with Izuku Midoriya. Furthermore, she seems inept at reading body language and social cues, apparently being oblivious to Izuku's discomfort with her close proximity to him on several occasions.

Outside of her intellect, Mei mostly acts as a support rather than facing battles directly. However, she proves to be a capable combatant as seen in her match against Tenya, where it lasted for ten minutes with Tenya unable to do anything to her despite his speed advantage and only winning when she forfeited.

Mei is very smart and innovative, creating many different pieces of equipment on her own that can help her in many situations. She is even able to create new inventions in a matter of seconds with only one hand, even while she is dividing her attention to something else. She relies mostly on her inventions to traverse obstacles and tasks. Power Loader acknowledges Mei's talent in the field of inventing, calling her one of a kind. He even commissioned her to help him make upgrades to the U.A. Barrier.

Mei is good at manipulating people, as seen when she tricked Tenya into modeling her inventions during the final rounds of the Sports Festival Tournament. She took advantage of his honest and trusting nature by offering him some of her equipment, claiming that it would make their fight a fair one.

Mei has a good mind for business. She took full advantage of the Sports Festival, as the stands were full of scouts from major Hero Support Equipment Companies. She teamed up with Izuku during the Cavalry Battle, knowing that people would pay attention to him, since he finished first in the previous competition. She also spent the entirety of her match against Tenya (a full 10 minutes) demonstrating and explaining her inventions to the crowd.

Mei's Quirk allows her to make her vision zoom in on whatever is in her line of sight. If she really focuses, Mei can see things as far as five kilometers.

Goggles: A pair of steampunk-looking goggles. It is unknown if they have any practical applications aside from those of regular goggles.

Hydraulic Bracers: A support item that detects an incoming enemy and extents a telescopic metal pole to push the wearer out of the way.

Capture Gun: A pistol that fires capture nets. It can be shot five times before one needs to reload it.

Electromagnetic Soles: A pair of boots that improve the wearer's footwork.

Wire Arrow: This device is a combination of a wire with an arrow-like grappling hook attached to the end, which can be used to reach distant surfaces.

Hover Soles: Two big metallic boots that have turbines implanted inside them, which allows the wearer to hover above the ground.

Mei is a prolific inventor, who is always creating new mechanisms that can be used by others. Many of her inventions simply don't work properly or are even dangerous, but others are really useful support items.

Air Force Gloves: Special gloves that Mei created specifically for Izuku, which allow him to more efficiently create powerful air blasts with One For All while limiting the damage done.

Auto Balancers: A support item that takes the form of leg braces and a backpack. The function of this device is to prevent the wearer from falling, unless they intend to. Used by Tenya during their battle at the U.A. Sports Festival.

Iron Soles: Support items she invented for Izuku. They serve both to enhance his kicks and to deal with the recoil, lessening the force that rebounds on him.

Jet Pack: A creation of Mei's, this device is a metal backpack with two turbines on the bottom part of the backpack that will activate when the wearer presses the activation switch. Used by Izuku during the Cavalry Battle.
