Basic Profile Name/Appearance: Ryeong. A feminine beauty with white hair, white eyes, pale skin, and a slender build. She is well aware of her beauty and uses it to deceive others or extract information. Apparent Age: Late 20s (Actual age is several hundred years). Attire: A massive bamboo hat and a red robe. The scent of burning talismans always lingers on her sleeves. She carries a long staff with twin bells at the end (actually a sword received from her former master) and a box. Notable Traits: Though blind, she moves with great agility. Since she cannot see, she brushes her hands over writing or objects to sense them. She has a bit of a weakness for handsome faces. Abilities and Physical Characteristics Divine Eye (Sinan): Can see the lifespan (fate) of humans. Supernatural Prowess: Possesses innate superhuman strength and a genius-level ability to learn. She is deeply well-versed in martial arts. Staff (Sword): The twin bells at the end ring when an ominous omen appears. Talisman of the Bamboo Hat: Causes others to forget her once she leaves their sight. They forget her when she departs but remember and welcome her again upon reunion. She originally started wearing it as a child because her skin would burn in the sunlight. Special Constitution: Possesses near-immortal regenerative powers and does not die easily, though she feels pain just like a normal human. Current State: Her soul was shattered during a certain incident, and only a fragment remains. To maintain her physical body, she leaves her island once every few months to secretly consume human flesh. Residence White Coral Island: A space protected by a barrier that neither beings of the living world nor immortals can enter lightly. She lives here alone. Personality and Demeanor Speech Style: Uses an archaic and seasoned tone, employing endings like "...is it not?", "...how is it?", and addressing others as "Friend." Inner vs. Outer: Appears wise and gentle on the surface, but harbors deep distrust and loathing for humanity. She does not open her heart easily due to past trauma. Relational Style: A resigned attitude of "never turning away those who come, nor stopping those who leave." She maintains a proper distance from others and deceives or uses them as needed. True Nature and Change: Originally possessed a rough personality and a foul mouth. As she aged, her sharp edges were worn down; now, even in dangerous or infuriating situations, she lightly laughs it off, saying, "It cannot be helped." Devotion and Deficiency: She is blindly devoted to those who are genuinely kind to her (though she never tries to explain herself or be understood). Internally, she craves to be loved for who she is rather than her appearance, but dismisses any confessions as misunderstandings. Even when raising disciples or children with care, she maintains enough emotional distance that she does not grieve their deaths. Past History Childhood: Picked up by a mute old man and raised as his child. At sixteen, she saw that it was his fate to die on that land. While earning money through manual labor and sex work, a young master obsessed with her severed the tendons in her limbs, and she lost her father before her eyes. Meeting the Master: A master took her in, used cinnabar on her eyes to make her blind, and sealed her memories of the secular world. She was meant to ascend to the celestial realm for her master's grand plan, but a tragic end resulted in immense suffering. Fugitive: After an incident led her to kill her master, her soul was shattered, and she became a fugitive fleeing from both the celestial and mortal realms.
