Background

Cecilia inherited both her late husband’s title and territory. She secured her authority through ruthless campaigns against bandits, beheading their leaders and sending the heads—accompanied by funeral white roses—to those she suspected of directing them. This earned her the feared name White Rose. 270

During the defense of Blackrock Fortress, she initially rejected Bai Xiaowen’s authority as an inexperienced commander. Her opinion began to change only after his battlefield judgment proved correct; although she refused to apologize, her favorability toward him rose to “Acquaintance.” 270 276

Cecilia lost her original territory during the Northern Frontier crisis, but Bai Xiaowen gave her and her surviving people a home in renamed White Stone City. He appointed her city lord, recognizing that his absences made a capable resident ruler essential. 302

Appearance

Cecilia is a striking blonde, blue-eyed woman with an athletic, curvaceous build and an unmistakably martial bearing. Her foreign appearance draws discrimination in the Shaoding Plane, forcing her to travel under a conical hat and face covering. 270 1463

• Commonly wears white or silver armor, a white cloak, and carries a silver greatbow. 272 694 1056
• Is frequently identified by her white-armored knights and mounted-archer equipment. 694 706
• Her riding and battlefield posture are consistently described as valiant and heroic. 1056 1172

Personality

Cecilia is decisive, proud, and unwilling to entrust her soldiers to leadership she considers incompetent. At Blackrock Fortress, she openly defied Bai Xiaowen rather than obey orders she believed would waste her warriors. 270 272

Her tactical judgment is ruthless when necessary. She used arcing fire against enemy wolf cavalry despite friendly-fire casualties, prioritizing the survival of the larger force over the anger of allied lords. 270 The same pragmatism appears in her interrogations: once she understands that captives fear retaliation, she offers survival only to the first person who confesses. 1462

Despite her attachment to Bai Xiaowen, she repeatedly prioritizes White Stone City and its people. She initially refuses his Follower Contract because abandoning her fief would mean abandoning her family, friends, and subordinates; she later accepts only after the contract allows her to remain in Kane while being summonable. 696 705

Abilities & Skills

Mounted Archery

Cecilia’s Hero Class passive increases her ranged physical damage while mounted; the bonus scales from 10% to 30% with movement speed. 706

• Her mounted damage rises even while riding at low speed, making a mount valuable even when she is stationary. 990
• The divine steed Bai Yujing turns her into an exceptional kiting combatant, allowing her to outrun melee opponents while continually firing. 1152 1172
• She can switch between her direwolf Rockback and Bai Yujing according to the tactical situation. 1060 1172

Killing Shot Arrow

A charged single-target shot that ignores 50% of armor and deals 120%–180% damage depending on charge time. 706

• At Level 4, Power Shot knocks targets back based on the Strength difference between Cecilia and the target. 706
• At Level 7, Impale adds collision damage and immobilizes targets knocked into obstacles. 706
• Cecilia used the skill to pin a hostile infiltrator to a wall after Sister Celine exposed him. 1057

Arrow Formation

A command skill that grants Cecilia and nearby allies 10% ranged physical attack power; its active effect raises ranged firing speed by 20% for 30 seconds. 706

• Supports her bow knights as well as allied ranged combatants. 695 706
• Its upgrades extend duration and reduce cooldown rather than granting separate Level 4 or Level 7 enhancement effects. 706

Rapid Fire and Split Arrow

Rapid Fire accelerates Cecilia’s next three attacks to 150% speed. Its Level 4 effect removes the original single-target damage penalty, while Level 7 adds three miniature arrows per shot, each dealing half the main arrow’s damage. 706

• Combined with Blood Rose, the miniature arrows rapidly spread poison across groups. 706 719
• Under Dorothea’s instruction and prolonged practice, Cecilia mutates Rapid Fire into Split Arrow, doubling her arrow count and adding piercing effects. 1032
• Split Arrow is extremely taxing when fueled by Astral Qi; Cecilia cannot sustain it indefinitely against repeated waves. 1462

Blood Rose

Cecilia’s ranged attacks apply stacking Rose Toxin, each stack dealing damage over 10 seconds; up to 10 stacks may affect a target. 706

• Activating Blood Rose detonates all toxin stacks and restores Cecilia’s health by the poison damage dealt. 706
• It is an ultimate-tier skill with a long cooldown—still 21 minutes at Level 7—so it is generally used once per major battle. 706
• Rapid Fire and area attacks allow her to poison multiple targets before detonating for large-scale healing. 706 850

Stringless Bow

After becoming an Evolver, Cecilia learns to form and fire arrows of Astral Qi with no physical bow or ammunition. 1443

• Her Astral Qi arrows can pierce the protective energy of a Level 11 Boss. 1443
• The technique supports her even when ordinary bows cannot withstand her energy output. 1463
• Her mastery is sufficient for it to be taught to the rescued youths in Bai Xiaowen’s territory. 1472

Command and Marksmanship

Before becoming a Follower, Cecilia’s Boss abilities included Snipe, used to eliminate dangerous Rare Elite enemies, and Inspire, which substantially increased her archers’ damage. 286

• She can judge weapon quality, horseflesh, and soldier potential, and claims she can train a Winged Cavalry unit within a week if supplied with veterans. 1195
• Her shooting expertise lets her instinctively account for movement, wind, and vital points before releasing an arrow. 709
• She trained Li Shuyi’s Shooting Specialty to Advanced Level 5 over two months. 709

Equipment and Mounts

• Mighty Strike Bow +7 — Golden bow given to Cecilia before the Black Tide expedition; her principal weapon during her Awakened-stage service. 887
• Abyssal Huntsman Garb +7 — Heroic leather armor. Its Weakness Insight effect reveals weak points during Hunting Hour, guaranteeing critical hits that deal 300% critical damage. 887 1034
• Snake-Shed Cloak — Grants invisibility; attacks do not break stealth, though taking damage does. 910 1172
• Rockback — Armored direwolf mount used for pursuit and combat; resilient enough to shield Cecilia from gunfire-like hand-crossbow attacks. 1060
• Bai Yujing — Divine white warhorse assigned to Cecilia because her mounted-archery kit benefits most from a true warhorse. Its speed dramatically amplifies Mounted Archery and enables extreme kiting. 1152 1172
• Elkskin Boots — Her chosen share of the Sand Terrace Mountain Branch’s Evolver equipment. 1470

Relationships

• Bai Xiaowen / “Dio” — Initially his insubordinate subordinate, then his trusted city lord, lover, and Follower. She continues calling him “Dio” even after learning his real name and sees White Stone City as their shared home. 270 303 705 709
• Li Shuyi — Teammate and shooting student. Cecilia initially treats her somewhat dismissively, but later trains her wholeheartedly and shows no hostility toward her relationship with Bai Xiaowen. 283 709
• Tim, Marco, and Phil — Her white-armored knight captains and core subordinates. They serve as White Stone City’s command structure and repeatedly accompany her on military operations. 279 694 1080
• Sister Celine — Light-magic support and adviser during Cecilia’s Central Province investigation. Celine exposes disguised infiltrators and assists in pursuits. 1057 1060
• Camille Rockefeller — Initially pursued as a suspected Drow infiltrator, then recognized as an acquaintance and debtor of Bai Xiaowen. Their guarded exchange ends with Camille giving Cecilia a paired Heartlink Talisman. 1060 1061
• Matriarch Cynthia — A temporary Drow ally bound by Plague Bane medicine and intelligence cooperation; Cynthia later betrays White Stone City and attacks it. 1078 1079 1080

Story Role

Northern Frontier Campaign

Cecilia commands an infantry formation at Blackrock Fortress and challenges Bai Xiaowen’s appointment as overall commander. During the disastrous assault on the Remnant camp, her archers halt wolf cavalry with arcing fire, though the tactic inflicts friendly-fire casualties. 270

She later rides after Bai Xiaowen to challenge his decision not to reinforce Prince Nicholas immediately, refusing to trust any judgment but her own. 272

Lady of White Stone

After the loss of her original fief, Cecilia leads crossbowmen in clearing zombies around Redleaf City. Bai Xiaowen renames the settlement White Stone City and publicly appoints her its city lord. 302

She governs the recovering city, protects it with her knights, and maintains order while Bai Xiaowen is absent. Her administration allows White Stone City’s buildings to produce a continuing supply of psionic goods. 302 324

Ironthorn War and Follower Contract

Cecilia and roughly a hundred knights are besieged by the Ironthorn Army at Cold Spring Valley. She holds the mountaintop through more than ten enemy charges before Bai Xiaowen’s force breaks the encirclement. 694 695

After the battle, she initially rejects a Follower Contract because it would make her Bai Xiaowen’s servant and separate her from White Stone City. Once the contract is confirmed to let her remain in Kane, she signs willingly in blood and forms a telepathic link with him. 696 705

White Phoenix Team

Cecilia joins the White Phoenix Team as its fifth member, though league media initially cannot identify her beyond “female, Follower.” 707

Her Hero-Class archery makes her a major league threat. She suppresses rival ranged fighters through superior attributes and Shooting Specialty, while her Arrow Formation and Blood Rose create teamwide damage opportunities. 719 850

Central Province Investigation and Drow Alliance

Following Bai Xiaowen’s instructions, Cecilia leads 500 cavalry to investigate four Central Province fiefs suspected of hosting hostile Awakened infiltrators. She captures Count Dorell, identifies a disguised enemy through her Awakened perception, and drives him from the plane with Killing Shot Arrow. 1056 1057

She later uses the New Plague Bane medicine as leverage over Matriarch Cynthia’s Drow forces, demanding captured Remnant spies in exchange for continued supply. 1078 1079 When Cynthia attacks White Stone City after receiving the final batch, Cecilia refuses surrender and activates Bai Xiaowen’s prearranged defensive plan. 1080

Evolver Expeditions

As an Evolver, Cecilia fights beside Bai Xiaowen in the Shaoding Plane, helps destroy a Black Heaven Cult branch, and aids in rescuing 98 abducted children. 1462 1471

Her foreign appearance makes covert travel difficult, but she adapts by concealing her face and relying on Bai Xiaowen for social dealings while serving as the group’s primary ranged combatant. 1463
