Happy Chinese New Year. It is the year of the tiger and to celebrate we have Meiling Li of Cardcaptor Sakura being kidnapped in a tiger bikini based on Lum from manga/anime Urusei Yatsura.

Chinese Tiger zodiac sign are born leaders, and they have the energy, charisma, and the audacity to pull it off. A Tiger will always let his or her presence be known. Because they are accustomed to leading, they tend to be authorative in all areas of life. Sometimes a little reminder is helpful to bring them back down to earth. A Tiger never backs down from a challenge; in fact, they love challenges. Those are what fuel them. It may come as a surprise to outsiders, then, but those born in the year of the Tiger also have internal struggles with feelings of alienation.

In the wild, tigers are strong, majestic beasts, but they do spend a great deal of time alone. So it is with this Chinese horoscope sign. It is lonely at the top, which is something most Tigers can identify with. In part because of their dual nature, they behave in unpredictable ways. They are always looking for new adventures, and it is not unheard of for them to pack up and go on. The last thing they want is to be tied down; freedom is the most important thing to a Chinese Tiger sign.

Meiling Li is a fictional character in Clamp's anime series Cardcaptor Sakura. She is one of the descendants of Clow Reed. Meilin's name in Chinese characters translates, to "plum jade" or "beautiful jade".

Like Syaoran, Meilin has many alternate spellings to her name, which are used in DVD releases, and some publications. Some spellings include Meirin, Meilin, Meiling, and Mei-Ling.
Meilin is well-meaning despite her immaturity, and devoted despite her rash attitude. Her view of Sakura changes from rival to valued friend as the series progresses. When she briefly returns to Tomoeda, she acknowledges Sakura as the person Syaoran Li loves. She smiles at Syaoran, tears in her eyes as she concedes that the engagement is called off, then leaves the apartment as he attempts to go after her. Meilin spends the night at Tomoyo Daidoji's house to release all of her sadness through much screaming and tears without burdening Syaoran. This moment shows not only how much Meilin has matured, but also how much she cares for him, as she gives up what she has held dear for most of her life in order for him to be happy. Although Meilin is heartbroken, she supports and helps to progress Sakura and Syaoran's kindling relationship, out of love for both of her dear friends.
