Appearance

Han Lian has a cool, elegant bearing tempered by an openly heroic presence. Her icy demeanor is reinforced by the cold aura of her cultivation and ice spiritual root. 292

• Ice-and-glazed-glass-like eyes. 292
• Distinctive spirited eyebrows. 487
• Usually wears ice-blue immortal robes that complement her aloof bearing. 1343

Personality

Han Lian is forthright, proud, and protective of her principles. Though initially inclined to favor a Jihan Sect disciple during the Zhao Sinan incident, she reviewed Yunxi's evidence, acknowledged the wrongdoing, and dealt with the matter rather than shielding him blindly. 292

She values loyalty without accepting manipulation. She rejected Han Xiao's attempt to assign Hao Miaoling to her, confronted Hao Miaoling for exploiting her master's difficulties to pressure Ranxi, and later chose to pay personally for Han Xiao's breakthrough potion rather than allow Ranxi to be taken advantage of. 482 487 633

Han Lian is deeply devoted to her sect and companions. She treats Ranxi as a friend she can trust with her life, remains willing to face danger for the Weiyu Realm, and considers Yunxi and Yun Chen companions worthy of entrusting with her back. 633 636 1343
