History[]
Past[]
Meene was born on January 26, 1981, and was from Montreal, Canada, where she was raised by her late father. He was a member of the army and when he passed away, she decided to join in too. She would eventually join the Canadian Special Forces, and took part in the Emergency Response Team.[11] She also formerly worked for the Swiss Armed Forces, as part of the ground forces. Meene was a promising elite woman with a bright future, but when she first went to headquarters she encountered her father's spirit there. He warned her that a young boy named Hao had killed him, and from then on she started gathering information on the young shaman. Eventually, she heard of the X-Laws and decided to join them.[12]

Shaman Fights Second Round[]
Meene is killed by Hao and the Spirit of Fire.
Meene, Venstar, and Cebin as Team "X-III" were paired against Hao himself, Opacho, and the fallen X-Law Luchist Lasso. Hao said he would fight them alone, to which X-III opened up with a smaller version of the "Archangel Fire". Before anyone could realize it, Hao created his Over Soul and impaled Meene.[2] Before Hao was targeted again by Cebin Mendel, he decided to burn her body down to her soul.[13]
She was, however, not completely dead and after Hao obliterated the rest of X-III, her soul was eaten by the Spirit of Fire.[14]
Invading the Plants[]
When Hao created a Black Hole within the Great Spirit, the X-Laws appeared in their "Supercars" to protect the Soul Train.[15]

Meene guarding Jeanne's grave
Meene, along some of the other members of the X-Laws, was revived at some point after the Shaman Fights.
Unknown to the Tao Family, Meene somehow learned about the death of Jeanne and, without even being asked, volunteered to stand guard at her grave together with John and Hans.[8]
Anime/Manga Difference[]
In the manga series, she died fighting Hao's Spirit of Fire in the second day of fights, while in the 2001 anime, Meene died along with Gabriel when the Spirit of Fire turned into water. When Gabriel struck it in the head, the Spirit of Fire threw ice spikes at Gabriel while Meene was protecting Lyserg.[16]
