History

Meeting Lin Hai

Lin Hai summoned Sparkle to his world with a Lucky Star. Curious rather than alarmed, she explored her surroundings and immediately began teasing him 1. Their flirtation led to their first kisses, but the world’s rules suppressed her Path power and gradually drained her strength. She used the Lucky Star to return home, and Lin Hai followed her to a dilapidated theater 2.

After Sparkle returned the star to Lin Hai, their completed journey activated their connection. The resulting Contracted Lucky Star panel recorded her affection at 87 and awarded Lin Hai her skill Unreliable Narrator 3.

Belobog and the IPC

As their relationship deepened, Sparkle’s affection reached 90, triggering the Concentric Knot. It unlocked her power limit and gave Lin Hai Super Burst, allowing him to reproduce her powers temporarily 29. She later returned to Penacony and set out for Belobog by spaceport, since the Lucky Star could not take her directly there from Lin Hai’s world 31.

Sparkle joined Lin Hai in Belobog, introducing herself as a friend who wanted to help solve its problems and have fun 40. She supported his plans to rebuild the city and later took responsibility for boosting his morale 62 83.

On Molten Inferno, Sparkle was wounded while Company personnel searched for her under Aventurine’s orders to capture her alive. She had delayed summoning Lin Hai because she feared he would be hurt; he defended her and destroyed a pursuing spacecraft 78 79. After he treated her wounds, her injuries healed completely through their bond’s power feedback 81 85.

Sparkle later livestreamed Lin Hai’s mountain-shattering feat and his battle against IPC forces on Jarilo-VI 88 99. She supported his declaration of war against the IPC and explained that the Contract Lucky Star fed strength to his partners through his affection 134.

Appearance

Sparkle is petite and fair-skinned, with a slender waist and a lively, expressive manner 16 17 83.

• Hair: Short 143.
• Expressions: Often wears a sly smile; she also blushes visibly when caught off guard by affection 1 2.
• Clothing: Her varied outfits include white knee-high socks with red heels, a JK uniform, a nurse uniform and a black investigator uniform 16 29 62 115.

Personality

Sparkle is playful, curious and drawn to novelty. She treats unfamiliar situations as potential entertainment, enjoys teasing others and values mystery in her relationships and games 1 28. She readily embraces unusual forms of fun, including a deliberately nonsensical song she calls “the purest kind of joy” 17.

Despite her boldness, she can become shy when Lin Hai returns her advances. She also shows genuine concern for him: after learning that Kafka had approached him, she immediately asked whether he was hurt, and she later hesitated to summon him into danger on Molten Inferno 2 15 78.

Abilities & Skills

Path Power

Sparkle possesses Path power and is ordinarily much stronger and faster than an ordinary human 2.

• She moved several wooden tables and chairs through the air with a wave of her hand 3.
• Her combat skills and unusual methods remained a threat even after Lin Hai’s physical strength approached an Emanator’s level 85.
• In Lin Hai’s world, her power was initially suppressed and her strength drained over time. She estimated she could stay for roughly three to four hours; the suppression later eased as her bond with him deepened 2 17 63.

Unreliable Narrator

Unreliable Narrator is one of Sparkle’s skills. Lin Hai received it through their Contracted Lucky Star after completing the hidden “Kiss” quest 3.

• Lin Hai’s version grants ten seconds of invisibility and conceals him from a phone camera recording 3.

Concentric Knot and Bond Feedback

At affection 90, an energy knot formed between Sparkle and Lin Hai, connecting their hearts and brows. It unlocked her power limit and granted him Super Burst 29.
