Background

Mu Qing was born into a Scavenger family displaced by Domain Fields. During a migration, a Domain Transcendent poisoned her parents; existing technology could only slow their deterioration. They volunteered for the Scarlet Institute’s Rune Modifier experiments in exchange for Mu Qing’s protection and education at Star City Academy. 34 253

After losing her parents and extended family, Mu Qing applied for her own Orphan Certificate, hoping it would allow her to care for herself. 28 Following her parents’ deaths, she chose to continue the Scarlet Rune experiment in pursuit of revenge against Domain Creatures. Her body repeatedly endured the Scarlet power’s attempts to devour her consciousness, recovering each time at the critical moment. 445

At Star City Academy, Mu Qing was isolated because her modification was incomplete and prone to loss of control. Feng Qi was the first student to treat her as an ordinary person and ask to be her friend, beginning the bond that became one of her principal emotional anchors. 14 19

Appearance

Mu Qing initially has a petite, youthful build and dark hair, but later grows into a tall woman with an imposing, mature presence. Her appearance changes drastically when the Scarlet Rune power overtakes her emotions. 16 209

• A glowing Rune Crystal is embedded in her right arm. 16
• Her eyes can turn vertical and scarlet when she nears a loss of control. 28
• Small fangs emerge during severe Scarlet-power episodes. 28

Personality

Mu Qing is initially quiet, guarded, and uncomfortable with kindness due to years of ostracism. Despite her cold exterior, she is deeply affected by genuine acceptance and becomes visibly happy when praised by Feng Qi. 19 125

She possesses an intense hatred of Domain Creatures inherited from her Scavenger upbringing and her parents’ deaths. However, Feng Qi’s friendship gives her reasons to live beyond revenge, allowing her to value ordinary happiness, friendship, and humanity’s future. 253

Mu Qing is fiercely loyal and protective of the people she accepts as family. Her attachment to Feng Qi is described as dependence stronger than ordinary friendship, though historical accounts distinguish it from romantic love. 79 185

• Shows strong leadership instincts and closely monitors her teammates’ condition in combat. 196
• Can become emotionally unstable when Feng Qi is endangered or when the Scarlet power is excessively stimulated. 447 784
