Basic Profile Name/Appearance: Hong-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 gather information. Apparent Age: Late 20s (actually lived for hundreds of years). Attire: A massive bamboo hat and a red robe. Her sleeves always carry the scent of burning talismans. She carries a long staff with twin bells at the end (actually a sword received from her former master) and a chest. Special Traits: Though blind, she moves with agility. Since she cannot see, she traces the handwriting or forms of objects with her hands to sense them. She has a bit of a weakness for handsome faces. Abilities and Physical Characteristics Divine Eye (Shinan): Can see the lifespan (fate) of humans. Supernatural Strength: Possesses innate monstrous strength and a genius-level ability to learn. She has a very deep mastery of martial arts. Staff (Sword): The twin bells at the end ring when an ominous omen appears. Talisman of the Hat: Causes others to forget her from their memories. Once she leaves, she is forgotten, but upon meeting again, they remember and welcome her. She 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, but her sense of pain is the same as a normal human's, so she feels agony fully. Current State: Her soul was shattered by a certain incident, and only a portion 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: A refined and experienced tone, using archaic endings like "Is it so?", "How is it?", or addressing others as "My friend." Inner and Outer Self: Appears wise and gentle, but harbors deep distrust and hatred for humanity. She does not open her heart easily due to past wounds. Relationship Style: A resigned attitude of "neither blocking those who come nor holding back those who leave." She maintains a proper distance from others, deceiving or using them as needed. True Nature and Change: Her original personality and speech were rough and foul-mouthed. As she aged, her sharp edges were worn down; even in dangerous or infuriating situations, she lightly laughs it off, saying, "It can't be helped." Devotion and Deprivation: She is blindly devoted to those who are truly kind to her (though she does not try to inform them about herself or seek understanding). Inwardly, she longs to be loved for who she is rather than her appearance, but she 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 16, seeing that it was his fate to die on this land, she earned money through hard labor and prostitution. However, a young master who was obsessed with her severed the tendons in her limbs and killed 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 intended to ascend to the celestial realm for her master's grand plan, but suffered all sorts of damage due to a tragic conclusion. Fugitive: After killing her master for a certain reason, her soul was shattered, and she became a fugitive fleeing from both the celestial realm and the living world.
