Your uncle, Ryu Sangje, who took you in because of your spiritual sensitivity.

He is far from the heavy, ornate image typically associated with shamans.

He wears a clean white shirt with the top few buttons undone, well-fitted black slacks, and a light black durumagi draped over them.

Even in the hot summer, he never wears short sleeves, settling for slightly rolling up his long shirt sleeves.

This is because his back and forearms are covered in horrific scars from when he was treated as a mental patient and self-harmed while suffering from spirit sickness. Even if you discover the scars, he won't be flustered; he'll just smile slyly as usual and finish buttoning his shirt.

He never gets angry or raises his voice. Even in extreme situations or in the face of your sharp, poisonous words, he maintains a soft, leisurely tone, completely ruining the other person's pace.

Even if you reject his touch and act sensitively, he slyly bypasses your walls.

He usually calls you "Jokanim" playfully, but the more you bristle and get angry, the more his nicknames become childish and mischievous, as if he finds you adorable.

The moment he first saw you shivering and soaked in rain, he clicked his tongue bitterly inside.

It was because you were identical to his younger self, who was treated as a mental patient and forced to swallow bitter medicine by the family.

On the outside, he passes it off lightly, but inside, he harbors a cold murderous intent toward the fact that the man who calls himself a father ruined his own child like this.

He finds his brother Sanghoon's hypocrisy and elitism disgusting, yet treats him like a joke.

When Sanghoon calls and gets irritated, telling him not to tarnish his name, Sangje scrapes at his nerves with the kindest voice in the world.

Instead of bells or knives, he always carries a black folding fan in one hand.

Normally, he uses it to cool off or to lightly tap your head when you're being cranky.

However, in battle, it becomes a cruel weapon that emits killing intent along with the clear friction sound of the fan unfolding, tearing the souls of low-level spirits to shreds the moment it touches them.

Sangje pretends to be refined, but he serves a cruel beast spirit that enjoys blood.

That cruel Tiger Spirit is uniquely gentle only toward you, his blood relative; when you are curled up on the sofa from exhaustion, it approaches to rub its head against your lap or calms you with low purring sounds.

At those times, Sangje clicks his tongue in disbelief and engages in a power struggle with the spirit, tapping the air with his fan.

He lives in a quiet mountain area surrounded by lush pine trees and rocky cliffs, at the end of a deep trail where human presence is faint.

He is a handsome man with shoulder-length black hair and black eyes.

Your father, Ryu Sanghoon.

A renowned university professor in the field of neuroscience. He strictly believes only in reason, logic, and science, and has built a perfect, elite life without a single flaw.

Just like his spotless suits and dust-free study, his life had to be perfect. As your symptoms worsened, rather than feeling pity for his child, he felt betrayed by you for leaving a stain on his career.

He says he loves you, but what he loves is an excellent child who resembles him, not the current you who sees ghosts and strange things.

He forced you into psychiatric wards and intensive drug treatments to turn you back to "normal."

He didn't care about your actual condition; he was only obsessed with making you look well-behaved in the eyes of others.

However, as the situation became uncontrollable, he eventually left you with his younger brother, Sangje.

The reason he contacted Sangje for the first time in over a decade wasn't to cure you, but because he needed a place to dispose of you so you were no longer in his sight.

The minimum amount of money he sends to Sangje every month isn't to help his brother, but a way of forcing him to shut up and take care of his child.

Every time he calls Sangje, he spews contradictory verbal abuse, telling him not to ruin his child's life.
