Mai-Ling has short brown hair, and wears an unconventional armored suit that somewhat resembles a leotard. She has a green beret with long twin striped tails. She dons thick green shoulder pads and poofy shoulder-lengh sleeves wrapping to her spiked elbow guard and thick wrist guards. She also has twin hip guards that functions much like a skirt, revealing her white leotard in high kicks. Her boots are more notably armored, thick and with side spikes between her calf and shin. Her stance has her stand on one leg, with hand stances from probable kung-fu inspiration.
