Meng was a resident of Makapu Village, and the young assistant of Aunt Wu, the local fortuneteller. Part of her job included greeting Aunt Wu's guests and bringing them snacks. Even though she was not related to Aunt Wu, Meng looked up to her mentor and thought of her like her grandmother. Although Meng was a little clumsy, she did make some delicious bean curd puffs.[1]
Meng was a bit younger and shorter than Aang, and had a major crush on him from the moment they first met. Part of this crush may have been influenced by Aunt Wu, who prophesied that Meng was destined to marry a man with big ears. The fact that "Meng" and "Aang" sounded similar also seemed important. Throughout the day, Meng stalked Aang and dropped obvious hints of her crush on him; however, he remained oblivious. Even worse, Aang began to use her ideas to try to impress Katara.
Young as she may have been, she was observant enough to recognize that Aang did not share her feelings for him, but rather had feelings for the "beautiful Water Tribe girl". Meng showed no bitterness toward him when he told her this, and instead helped Aang obtain the copy of Aunt Wu's cloud reading book that he sought. With it, Aang and Katara were able to convince the villagers that Mt. Makapu was about to erupt and, in doing so, destroy the village.
When Aang, Katara, and Sokka left, Meng waved to Katara, but as she left, Meng muttered that Katara was a "floozy", revealing that she did indeed harbor resentment towards the other girl.[2]
Jessie Flower, Meng's voice actress, also voiced Toph.
At the time Aang was in Makapu Village, he was awakening to his crush on Katara, and went to Sokka for advice. Sokka told Aang that to get her attention he should just act aloof. However, Sokka mistakenly assumed that it was Meng Aang wanted to impress.
"Avatar Extras" stated that Meng had a different crush every week, an obvious joke to her swift infatuation with Aang.

Ok perhaps my mother was the only one that called me a Floozie when I was a kid running around with my shirt curled up when it was hot or when my skirt accidentally rode up when I was younger and this was when I was under the age of 13.
She's adorable, I kinda feel sorry for her. :( Poor thing. I think every girl feels like that at some point. There's always this other chick who your significant other likes, and it's not you. And she, might even be better than you lol
This is at the other girl. Meng is only ten! I made rude comments at that age too! Plus, don't jude smellerbee by her looks! I've been called that before and it hurts.
It doesn't really matter because it flies right over kid's head and they don't understand it, so it's alright. Even I didn't know what a floozy was when I first watched the episode and I was 13. It's just not a term someone hears often. Synonyms yes, but 'floozy'? Nah.
I was surprised, too...but then I laughed hard. I just found it funny, even though I already knew what a "floozie" is (I have flipped through the dictionary many a time and for some reason landed on that word quite often). And it's true that most kids probably don't even know what that is, anyway. I told someone who is older than me, and they didn't know what that was, but after I explained she laughed. It is surprising that they put that on a kid's show, but then I'm pretty sure it was just meant to be one of those short sources of humor at the end of an episode. Nothing major.
