Dorothy Gale. That is a name I'd hoped not to hear again in this life. She was like a too-sharp sword… Useful but also prone to cut the one who wields it.

She persevered even though her Emperor and his entire Empire were against her.

After escaping into the mundane world, Meng became the head of Shadow Fabletown, a network of hidden Fable communities scattered throughout the world, in China.

Meng was killed by a Chiss just when she was about to tell Cinderella how to locate Dorothy Gale.
