Background
Xia Ranran grew up next door to Ling Yuan after he and his grandfather moved there five years earlier. She regards him as “Brother Ling Yuan” and immediately defends him when Xiao Qingya questions the source of his sudden strength 32.

Personality
Ranran is affectionate, trusting, and direct about her attachment to Ling Yuan. She readily places her trust in him when facing Gabriel, even after realizing that her own power could endanger Yan Country 66.
