Scream Queen of horror films actress Michele Morrow was alerted by Blizzard Entertainment during the weekend that she has stepped into virtual immortality in World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria as a pandaren NPC named Mei Chele. Next to Mei Chele is a cat named Azrael. Cool easter egg!
This NPC has a few random routines sitting inside the house, or walking outside drawing a heart above her head as Lamplighter Mu approaches to interact with her. She sometimes sits outside above a crate.
That’s kinda fun considering Michele has spent the past months posing in photos wearing a Panda-like hat — Photo: Michele Morrow & boyfriend Michael Weitzman.
Michele Morrow has an awesome cat named Azrael who appears often in her facebook page.
Lamplighter Mu and Samus sounded pretty suspicious, so I researched and found out that Michele Morrow’s boyfriend is named Michael Weitzman (M.W.) … Lamplighter Mu (get it?). Mu has a cat named Samus in-game. Michele’s second cat is named Samus — photo from Michele’s Facebook.
The actress is widely known by the community as someone interested in the role of Sylvanas in the upcoming World of Warcraft film by Legendary Pictures. As of San Diego Comic Con 2012, this past week, Sam Raimi acknowledged he is no longer directing the Warcraft film after he accepted to direct the Oz: The Great and Powerful film.
Players can currently find Mei Chele at the Mandori Village in the Pandaren level 1-10 starting zone. Mandori Village is located south of the Temple of the Five Dawns, and west of The Dai-Lo Farmstead.

Azrael is actually a double easter egg, because it’s the name of Gargamel’s cat in the Smurfs. Or it is in the original version actually, I never read any in English (and hated the movie).
Well, Azrael is indeed Gargamel’s cat in the Smurfs. I watched the TV cartoon back in the 80s. =)
Azrael is the angel of death in some religions, and a DC Comics character which debuted in Batman: Sword of Azrael.
However, this particular easter egg is due to Michele Morrow’s cat.
I just thought of a nice way to call this: it’s an “easter egg en abîme”. 😛
So she’s a Metroid fan too? She does sound more and more awesome every time I hear about her.
