Background / History
Yun Yun led the Misty Cloud Sect and took Nalan Yanran as her disciple. She gave Yanran a cultivation method and combat technique, though Great Elder Yun Leng handled much of the sect’s day-to-day affairs while Yun Yun concentrated on cultivation 16 189.
She first knew Xiao Yan under his alias Yao Yan, while he knew her as Yun Zhi. During their earlier encounters, she helped him through a crisis caused by the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame and later let him escape with the Green Lotus Core Flame. They recognized each other publicly when Xiao Yan arrived for his duel with Nalan Yanran 174 179.
After the duel, Yun Yun ordered the sect to stop attacking Xiao Yan, despite Yun Leng’s defiance. She subsequently expelled Yun Leng and three allies. When Protector Wu’s actions devastated the sect, she resolved to visit the families of those killed and entrusted its leadership to Nalan Yanran while she was away 190 197 210 211.
In Flower Sect territory, Yun Yun had cared for an injured stranger, Granny Hua, who later left her power and a jade tablet. Yun Yun tried to return the tablet rather than claim Flower Sect leadership, but its leader Hua Jin demanded Granny Hua’s Dou Qi. After Xiao Yan intervened in the resulting dispute, Yun Yun became the Flower Sect’s new leader; Nalan Yanran later succeeded her at the Misty Cloud Sect 484 495 524.

Personality
Yun Yun is gentle and attentive to others. She tended Granny Hua while the latter was injured, searched the Ancient Ruins for opportunities suited to Nalan Yanran rather than herself, and chose to seek forgiveness from the families of people killed in the Misty Cloud Sect disaster 211 484 485.
Her kindness does not prevent her from acting decisively. She confronted Yun Leng’s control of the sect, expelled him and his allies, and later accepted that protecting the Flame Alliance could require a firmer approach 189 197 629.
