Background / History
Origin
The Mechanical God created Bingyu as a copied sub-personality shortly before Ivette first arrived on Black Tide Continent roughly five hundred years earlier. Unlike most Mechanical Puppets—who were later-created fragments of the Mechanical God’s spirituality—Bingyu was made as a copy of the primary personality, though important memories were removed. 189
Her meeting with Ivette was arranged. The Mechanical God sent Bingyu to wait near Ivette’s likely landing site, while Sanctum personnel searched coastal Puppet Kingdoms for the mysterious silver-haired girl. Bingyu initially approached Ivette to identify and observe her, but developed genuine trust during their travels. 189
Early travels
Bingyu introduced herself as a free traveler from the Sky Kingdom and guided Ivette to the Agasha Puppet Kingdom after her motorcycle required recharging. At the time, she believed Ivette was an exceptionally advanced Mechanical being pursuing human cultivation. 48 69
She remained in Puppet Town after Ivette initially declined to travel with her, then later reunited with Ivette while fleeing a Black Dragon. Her motorcycle skills kept her alive long enough for Ivette to intervene. 53 65
Bingyu subsequently traveled with Ivette and Dugrabi to Kuks, where she became popular among the local Mechanical Puppets through her travel stories. She explored the safer outskirts for archaeological finds rather than entering the dangerous city itself. 67 71
Imprisonment in the Mystic Polar Garden
While pursuing a legend connected to the Northern Abyssal Sea, Bingyu entered the Mystic Polar Garden and disappeared alongside Sanctum search parties. The Sanctum could confirm that she remained alive, but could not retrieve her. 144 145
She spent approximately a century trapped in a forest-like realm populated by small magical creatures and energy-rich fruit. Though unable to escape, she was safe, comfortable, and able to recharge from the abundant magical energy. 148
Ivette negotiated with the Garden’s owner to secure the release of Bingyu, the other Mechanical Puppets, and the remaining captives. Bingyu rejoined Ivette and Abera afterward. 148
Revelation of her identity
Bingyu guided Ivette and Abera through the Sky Kingdom’s capital and suggested using a Sanctum to request an audience with the Mechanical God. When Ivette’s request was refused, she became increasingly suspicious of Bingyu’s connection to the god. 185 187
After Ivette confronted her, Bingyu admitted that she was a sub-personality of the Mechanical God. She also revealed that the Mechanical God had concealed Ivette’s existence from Vermes/Vilmes, the King of Shadows, after Bingyu vouched for her. 188 189
Bingyu explained that the Mechanical Race was not a separate species: each Puppet was an independent spiritual fragment of the Mechanical God. Their fear of death, worship of the Mechanical God, and desire to become human were implanted instincts intended to cultivate personalities and help the Mechanical God study souls. 189
Ivette accepted that Bingyu’s friendship was sincere despite the deception, and the two chose to remain friends. 188
Appearance
Bingyu is an unusually refined and humanoid Mechanical Puppet, standing apart from the rusted, patched-together constructs common throughout the Sky Kingdom and other Puppet Kingdoms. 188
- Short ice-blue hair and an exquisitely cute, humanlike face 51
- Soft bionic silicone cheeks that she puffs out when annoyed 49
- A highly advanced puppet body designed with comfort, performance, and aesthetics in mind 189
- Often travels in a motorcycle outfit with a helmet and black skintight clothing 279
- Her natural humanlike mannerisms lead other Puppets to believe she may be close to “becoming human.” 69
Personality
Bingyu is friendly, trusting, energetic, and socially bold. She readily offers assistance to strangers, enthusiastically shares stories from her travels, and quickly forms connections in new Puppet communities. 48 70 71
Her early faith in the Mechanical God is sincere and uncomplicated. She views human cultivation, Sanctum worship, and divine guidance as ordinary parts of Mechanical life, and deeply admires humans and humanlike behavior. 48 69
She can be jealous, timid, and easily flustered—especially when Ivette receives more admiration than she does, or when Dugrabi intimidates her. 49 79 Despite this apparent innocence, Bingyu is highly intelligent, capable of maintaining her hidden identity for centuries and coordinating complex industrial and religious projects. 189 281 316
Bingyu’s attachment to Ivette is genuine. She fears Ivette’s disapproval, repeatedly seeks her companionship, and accepts difficult responsibilities because she wants to be useful to her best friend. 188 279 281

- Shares the Mechanical God’s connection to the Core Heart and its soul- and memory-related divine authority 189
- Was able to relay information about Ivette to the Mechanical God, leading to Ivette’s long-term concealment from Vermes 189

As a high-performance Mechanical Puppet, Bingyu can manage numerous tasks simultaneously.
- Oversees Ish Island’s industrial zones, from blueprints through finished products 278
- Expanded the island’s industrial, agricultural, urban, and road infrastructure during Ivette’s absences 279
- Coordinates the Silver Witch Church’s Encounter distribution and recipient monitoring systems 279 281

Limitations
Bingyu’s mechanical body cannot follow ordinary mage cultivation.

Relationships
