Background / History

Hu Liena is an orphan who never knew her parents. Bibi Dong took her from an orphanage, raised her in Martial Soul Hall, and personally nurtured her. She consequently regards Bibi Dong as both her teacher and a mother figure 93 120.

Before her assignment to Heaven Dou City, she had spent almost her entire life in Spirit City, leaving chiefly to hunt Soul Beasts. Her familiarity with the city later helps her recognize that the domain described in Yu Tiancheng’s diary must be obtained elsewhere 91.

Appearance

• Eyes and expression: Alluring, fox-like eyes, long eyelashes, and a frequently charming smile 18 38 59.
• Martial Soul manifestation: Nine fox tails are visible behind her during her approach to Tang San in the City of Slaughter 112.
• Clothing: Wears dark red combat attire during her attempted assassination of Yu Xiaogang and a simple golden dress when presenting Martial Soul Hall’s recruitment offer 62 83.
• Apparent age: Tang San estimates that she looks seventeen or eighteen; this is an observation rather than a confirmed age 113.
• After the City of Slaughter: Returns thinner, darker, and injured, but retains an upright posture and bright eyes 120.

Personality

Hu Liena is calculating and observant. She engineers opportunities to appear in Yu Tiancheng’s diary, disguises her intentions as Soul Beast hunting advice, and uses gentle conversation to probe his identity. She notices that “Lin Fan’s” perfectly controlled breathing while pretending to sleep is itself suspicious 18 20 21 22.

Her loyalty to Bibi Dong can become ruthless. After learning about Yu Xiaogang’s treatment of her teacher, she decides that he should die and attempts to assassinate him. Even when distressed by Yu Tiancheng’s accusations against Martial Soul Hall, she states that she will follow her orders 61 62 83.

That loyalty also motivates her growing independence. She challenges Bibi Dong’s refusal to let her enter the City of Slaughter, insisting that inaction will not prevent Martial Soul Hall’s predicted destruction. Her later willingness to abandon the domain she sought and trust Yu Tiancheng marks a change from pursuing power at any cost 93 94 115.

• Duration: Inversely proportional to the target’s Spiritual Power intensity 23.

• Improved control: The reward restructures her understanding of charm and supplies subtler methods of application 23.
• Intended use: Plans to charm Yu Tiancheng to investigate his identity and the diary; the supplied material does not establish a successful use on him 23.
