Background

Shui Bing'er participated in Skywater Academy's field training expedition to an ice valley in the Far North under teacher Shui Lanxin. After delivering the finishing blow to a thousand-year Soul-Eater Python, she acquired her fourth spirit ring. The spirit bone dropped by the beast led the mercenaries hired for the expedition to betray the academy party. 9

When the mercenaries overwhelmed Skywater Academy's group, Xue Tianyu annihilated them with Ultimate Ice. Shui Bing'er thanked him personally and invited him to join Skywater Academy despite its rule against accepting male students. She trusted that he would honor his agreement to return to the group, defending him when others feared he had abandoned them. 11 12 13

After Xue Tianyu joined the academy, Shui Bing'er arranged his quarters beside her own and helped introduce him to the campus and Skywater Team. She publicly announced him as the team’s new captain after witnessing his strength. 16 18 19

Appearance

Shui Bing'er is introduced as a girl of about fourteen with short water-blue hair, fair rosy skin, and delicate features. Her ice-attribute cultivation gives her a notably cool and aloof bearing. 9 12

• Short water-blue or ice-blue hair 9 20
• Usually wears Skywater Academy’s fitted blue combat attire or uniform 9 42
• Possesses an elegant, cold temperament associated with her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul 12 20
• Her face readily flushes when teased about Xue Tianyu or her feelings for him 12 19

Personality

Initially known at Skywater Academy as cold and aloof, Shui Bing'er is nevertheless observant, dependable, and protective of her companions. She recognizes Xue Tianyu’s intention to negotiate for better terms when others worry that he is refusing the academy’s offer, and she remains composed enough to assess opponents before the team’s tournament matches. 16 37

She shows courage under pressure. During the Frost Giant Bear attack, she exhausts her remaining soul power to create Ice Ring Armor for the academy group despite knowing the defense is unlikely to withstand a ten-thousand-year spirit beast. 13

Shui Bing'er gradually becomes direct about her devotion to Xue Tianyu. Jealousy toward perceived rivals pushes her to openly declare that she will remain loyal to him and fight at the front when needed. Even so, she remains more reserved and easily embarrassed than her younger sister, Shui Yue'er. 41 42 59
