Now who should voice Bu-Ling?

Here's some info about Bu-Ling:

Bu-Ling Huang (pronounced 'Purin' in Japanese) is a character in the manga and anime series Tokyo Mew Mew, and one of the main heroines of the story. She is the fourth Mew Mew to be introduced and her D.N.A is merged with a Golden Lion Tamarin.

Personality
Bu-Ling likes doing acrobatics and is very playful. The other Mew Mews agree that her monkey DNA is a perfect match for her personality, as she is full of energy and loves having fun – to the point where Minto considers her very immature. She is also the most hyperactive member of the team, even more-so than Ichigo. But she can be serious at times.

Appearance
Bu-Ling usually has light blonde hair, burnt-orange (almost brown) eyes. She usually wears Chinese-themed clothes when she is home, at a party, or visiting. She is the shortest of the Mew Mews.

Mew Mew
When Bu-Ling is transformed into Mew Pudding, her hair turns golden yellow and her eyes turn a lighter orange. (In some manga and game illustrations, Bu-ling's eyes may appear yellow or yellow-orange.) She wears a short yellow jumpsuit, yellow legwarmers with orange ballet-flats. The strings of the ballet-flats wrap around the legwarmers. A yellow garter belt on her left thigh, a yellow choker with her Mew Pendant attached just below, and yellow arm bands; As well as a pair of orange, furry, finger-less-gloves. She has orange lace lining the bottom of her jumpsuit as well as her choker, arm bands, and garter belt. She has an orange monkey tail and ears.

Her Mew Mark is two monkey tails on her forehead.

Family
Because her mother died when she was very young, Bu-Ling was left to care for her five younger siblings, as well as managing the family's finances. Alternatively, the manga never mentions Bu-Ling's mother. When asked about her mother, she often tries to change the subject as the topic is very painful for her.

Bu-Ling's father is a master of many different fighting styles. He is constantly training in the mountains of China, so she doesn't see him often. The only person -other than Ryou and Keiichiro- who knows about Bu-Ling's family situation is Heicha's teacher.

To support her family, Bu-Ling used to do tricks in the park to make money.

Tart
Midway through the series, Bu-Ling befriends Tart when he captures her and holds her hostage. She is reluctant to fight Tart during the final battle until he affirms they have no choice. She cries over him after he is defeated. Bu-Ling kisses Tart at the end of the series and tells him she "Does not want it to be goodbye.". He replies by saying that he "...may return to see her.".

In the anime adaptation, the relationship between Bu-Ling and Tart is expanded upon and the circumstances of their initial friendship changes – instead of being saved by the Mew Mews, Tart himself saves Bu-Ling from an underground cavern when he realizes that she is suffocating from a lack of oxygen.

In [https://tokyomewmewpower.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_33:_A_Fiance_Appears!_Puddings%27s_Fated_Marriage%3F! Episode 33: A Fiance Appears! Puddings's Fated Marriage?!], a mysterious man saves Bu-Ling when she is attacked by Tart's Chimera Anima. The man reveals himself to be Yuebing Long, an apprentice of Bu-Ling's father. In a match to decide who will inherit the family fighting style, as well as the right to her, Yuebing defeats Bu-Ling. He later spends time in Bu-Ling's home taking care of her siblings while she works at Cafe Mew Mew. He ends up rescuing Bu-Ling from a rogue Chimera Anima and travels to China with the intent of learning to protect his new fiance, Bu-Ling.

Transformation
Bu-Ling's transformation begins with her kissing her Mew Pendant and raising it to her head where her Mew mark is. Her DNA commences the morphing process and Bu-Ling is flung into a burst of yellow light. The endings of her hair change into tiny braids while streams of energy wrap around her hands, causing fur in the shape of finger-less gloves to appear on them. More streams of energy are wrapped around her body and manifest her Mew uniform. She then bends over and her Tamarin tail pops out from the base of her back. The sequence concludes with Mew Pudding performing somersaults at a very high speed and then striking a pose.

Weapons and Attacks
In the original Japanese anime, her weapon is called PuRing Rings, and her attack is Ribbon PuRing Ring Inferno. This attack involves Mew Pudding performing a series of acrobatic flips, kicks and somersaults before summoning a tambourine and a bell on a ring. She taps them together, performing a melody in the air. Her Mew Mark glows and she brings the instruments down, unleashing a blast of yellow energy which encases the enemy in a force field similarly shaped like jello. In the 4Kids dub, her weapon is the Golden Tambourine and her attack is renamed to "Tambourine Trench".
