Background / History
Qin was originally a member of the Blood Ring and one of the Flesh Alchemy Masters involved in developing the Blood Ring Curse Seal. She secretly left Blood Ring Fortress while seeking a way to prevent her daughter, Princess Christina, from becoming a Flesh Plague Matriarch. To conceal her departure, she left a personal maid wearing the queen's clothing and accessories as a decoy. 208
Operating publicly as Brandenburg's court advisor, Qin used her expertise to oppose the Blood Ring. She met Bai Pu while he was disguised as Dio Fulei and immediately recognized that his unusual physique and resistance to the Flesh Plague warranted study. 6 7
After examining Bai Pu, she correctly deduced that an externally injected substance within him acted as an antibody against the plague—later identified as Evolution Source Blood. Qin formed a practical alliance with him: he would supply blood and research cooperation, while she would help him develop his power and create an antibody against the Flesh Plague. 7
Although Bai Pu uncovered her Blood Ring origins, Qin's affection for him increased rather than diminished. Fearful that he would leave her world forever, she offered to become his servant once he was strong enough to surpass her, both to preserve their connection and to see his world. 11 12
Following Gustav's fall, Qin accepted responsibility as Christina's regent and Empress Dowager. She later became Bai Pu's Source Blood Apostle while remaining in the Flesh Plague world to protect, educate, and prepare Christina for rule. 216 218
Appearance
Qin is a refined, scholarly woman with shoulder-length curly black hair and deep brown eyes usually concealed behind hanging spectacles. She commonly wears loose black robes, later appearing in laboratory coats and noble attire suited to her position. 6 157

Personality
Qin is intensely curious, analytical, and willing to pursue dangerous research if it may yield knowledge. Her initial fascination with Bai Pu is rooted in his value as a unique research subject, but this interest develops into trust, affection, and a willingness to bind her future to his. 7 11 12
Despite her past within the Blood Ring, Qin is pragmatic rather than blindly loyal. Her decisions are guided by Christina's safety, the survival of her realm, and the practical use of knowledge. She is also politically capable, planning Sweden's naval development, the management of Danish nobles, and the establishment of a stable Northern European power structure. 384
Qin prefers research to combat, though she readily fights when necessary and possesses the confidence to stand against powerful enemies. 384 513
“I don't really like fighting; I prefer research.” 384
