Background / History
Fu Hua originated in Canghai City during the Previous Era. After surviving a Honkai outbreak, she accepted Ye Ming's request to protect Shenzhou, resolved to gain the strength to uphold that promise, and left with a red-haired woman for a base where she could learn to fight Honkai 21 22.
She later became one of humanity's eight strongest warriors of the Previous Era and the first successful subject of the super-variant factor experiment. As the Red Oriole Immortal, she guarded Shenzhou for more than a thousand years; she has lived for over 50,000 years 9 15.
After arriving in Ye Ming's world more than twenty years before the main story, Fu Hua used the Feather of the Passing World to establish herself in the memories of those around him as his childhood friend. She grew up beside Ye Ming, protected him from bullies, and consistently ranked first in school while serving as class monitor 6 9 15.
To turn their long-standing closeness into romance, Fu Hua left for graduate school for two years and returned to City H with a deliberately gentler new image. The arrival of Yae Sakura, Okita Souji, and Laffey pushed her to abandon this gradual approach and confess immediately 9 10.
Appearance
Fu Hua presents herself differently depending on the role she is playing, shifting from Ye Ming's severe, studious class monitor to a softer adult image after their reunion.
- Black hair and black eyes were part of her childhood-friend identity 6.
- After returning from graduate school, she wears her long hair down, replaces her old flat-frame glasses with blue contact lenses, and favors a white floral-print dress 10.
- At Mond International, she wears a professional suit while organizing meeting records and assisting Jean 40.
- Ye Ming considers her notably beautiful; her changed appearance initially makes her seem like a gentle girl next door rather than the formidable class monitor he remembers 8 10.
Personality
Fu Hua is composed, direct, disciplined, and exceptionally persistent. As a child, she was quiet and mature beyond her years; as a student, she excelled academically and athletically, earned the admiration of peers and teachers, and intimidated those who envied her 9 10.
Her long life has given her patience and insight into people, but Ye Ming makes her emotionally vulnerable. She values promises, memories, and personal integrity, initially refusing to use her God Key to alter Ye Ming's mind for her own benefit 15 33. However, rivalry with the women arriving from Ye Ming's games drives her to become more proactive, pragmatic, and at times manipulative in securing their relationship 36 45 46.
Abilities & Skills
Martial Arts and Combat Ability
Fu Hua was already an exceptional fighter as a child, capable of defeating older children with a single punch. Her combat ability remains high enough that Ye Ming considers resisting her physically unrealistic 6 35.
- Protected Ye Ming whenever other children ganged up on him 6 9.
- Is associated with the technique Inch-Power Kai Tian 8.
- Her identity as a Previous Era super-variant experiment subject places her among humanity's eight strongest warriors of that era 9.
Feather of the Passing World
Fu Hua possesses the God Key known as the Feather of the Passing World, also rendered as the Feather of Cleansing. It can influence and alter memories 9 15.
- Used it to create and maintain her identity as Ye Ming's childhood friend in this world 9.
- Erased the memories of bystanders who witnessed her meeting with Yae Sakura and Okita Souji 15.
- Altered Ye Ming's memory after realizing Laffey was listening outside the bedroom, leaving him unaware of her intervention 36.
- Despite having the means to do so, she considers memory manipulation beneath her principles and values memories deeply 15 33.
Intelligence and Academic Ability
Fu Hua was consistently the top student throughout elementary and middle school, serving as class monitor every year. Her academic excellence motivated Ye Ming to rank near the top of his class 6.
- Completed a master's degree before returning to City H 6.
- Works efficiently enough at Mond International to finish her assigned work early 40.
- Uses careful planning and a detailed understanding of Ye Ming's personality to guide her decisions 9 46.

- Okita Souji — Another woman connected to Ye Ming and a participant in Fu Hua's arrangement with Yae Sakura to take Laffey out 15 46.

Confession and Revelation
Fu Hua directly asks Ye Ming for a chance to pursue him, even arriving prepared to register a marriage if he reciprocates. Ye Ming initially declines because of his responsibility toward the girls from his games, but Fu Hua chooses to remain at his side despite the prospect of sharing him 9 10 11.
