Background / History

Hua Yuan grew up in an orphanage, where she was well cared for and excelled academically. After entering junior high school, her beauty and academic ability drew attention but also led to social isolation. A traumatic experience involving a senior boy became the basis of her Phobia-concretization: fear of men. 203 181

Within the Sisterhood, Hua Yuan became its most formidable senior member and one of Grandmother’s favored granddaughters. Her reputation for danger, invasive influence, and sharp intuition makes other sisters wary of her. 154 161

She witnessed the consequences of an earlier Corner Wanted Order before her pituitary gland had matured. The deaths associated with that operation left her especially focused and cautious when Grandmother assigned her cohort to hunt a monster incarnation at Saiwei Resort Island. 163 181

After reaching the Corner, Hua Yuan manages a flower garden and greenhouse, cultivating flowers for the Sisterhood. Her flowers are both a source of income and extensions of her body. 393 394 397

Appearance

Hua Yuan ordinarily resembles a striking high-school-aged girl whose beauty itself functions as part of her mental influence. Her appearance becomes more aggressive or floral depending on the stance she assumes. 154 161 185

• Shoulder-length straight black hair with blunt bangs. 154
• Prominent mole beneath her left eye. 154
• Usually wears a white shirt, black-and-white uniform, plaid skirt, striped tie, white thigh-high socks, and black leather shoes. 154
• Her pupils can turn deep crimson when exerting influence or hostility. 154
• In Invader Stance, she grows taller and more muscular while retaining her face and hairstyle. 185
• In floral forms, pistils emerge from her body and her flower-shaped pituitary gland may become exposed. 187

Personality

Hua Yuan initially presents herself as teasing, domineering, and manipulative. She enjoys testing boundaries, intimidating weaker sisters, and provoking those around her, but her cruelty is paired with a sharp understanding of power and etiquette within the Sisterhood. 154 157

Despite her reputation as selfish and aggressive, she becomes markedly more serious during the Saiwei Wanted Order. She investigates Luo Di’s nightmares, carries him while he is weakened, and prioritizes the mission after recalling the losses tied to an earlier Wanted Order. 175 181

She is highly competitive and takes pride in being talented and strong. Luo Di’s rapid growth unsettles her, contributing to anxiety that eventually leads her to seek the Manga Shop’s alternative path. 459

Hua Yuan’s bond with Luo Di reveals a more vulnerable side. She comes to trust his directness, accepts his support without demanding an explanation of his identity, and gradually shows genuine concern for her sisters and companions. 188 191 192

Abilities & Skills

Spirit Body

Her perfected spirit body is formed from the mentally filtered collective image of the aggressors who harmed her. It possesses immense destructive power but is connected directly to her mental state. 181 187

• Can uproot and throw trees as weapons. 187
• Damage to the spirit body harms Hua Yuan mentally and physically. 187

Stances and Floral Forms

Hua Yuan previously alternated between the Victim Stance and Invader Stance before awakening the more balanced Blooming Stance. 205

• Invader Stance — increases her size, muscle mass, aggression, and physical combat capacity. 185 205
