Background

Ye Xinglan was initially encountered alongside Xu Lizhi at a restaurant owned by the Xie Family. She arrived furious after believing Xie Xie and Tang Wulin had lured Xu Lizhi out to eat. 118

During the Skysea competition, she became Xie Xie's opponent after he deliberately provoked her. Although she won their match, she inflicted a severe injury after escalating to a life-threatening attack. Xie Xie nevertheless told her that victory was not worth her life and later described her as a good person who was simply too proud. 121 124 125

Haunted by guilt over the incident, Ye Xinglan spent three years training and applied to Shrek Academy to face Xie Xie and make amends. She transferred into First Grade Class One with Xu Lizhi, though her prepared apology initially failed to come out. 224 228

Her wish to make amends gradually developed into affection for Xie Xie. By the time of her Devil Island trial, she understood that seeing him happy made her happy as well, and she regarded the companions she gained through him as an important part of her life. 478

Appearance

At thirteen, Ye Xinglan wore her golden hair in a high ponytail and carried herself with an aloof, sword-like bearing. Her white-and-green school uniform emphasized her tall, straight posture, while her dark-green eyes were repeatedly described as sharp and intense. 224

• Golden hair, often tied in a high ponytail. 224 378
• Fair complexion and a tall, upright build. 224
• Dark-green eyes with a piercing, sword-like focus. 224 329
• In adulthood, her sword aura is powerful enough to be felt from several steps away. 395
• Her Battle Armor is platinum-gold and bears the character “Xie” on its breastplate. 378
• As an adult, she possesses a strikingly valiant beauty; her sharp brows, eyes, and nearly tangible sword aura make her resemble a drawn divine sword. 395

Personality

Ye Xinglan is intensely proud, competitive, and direct. Early on, anger could easily disrupt her judgment, and her obsession with winning led her to take reckless, self-destructive risks in battle. 121 299 300

Her defeat of Mo Jue demonstrated both her greatest strength and greatest flaw: she was willing to endure crippling injuries and push herself toward unconsciousness for victory. 300 301 Xie Xie's repeated concern gradually gave her a clearer understanding of restraint, teamwork, and protecting rather than merely defeating others. 125 359 379

In personal matters, she is blunt rather than subtle. Once she recognizes her feelings for Xie Xie, she states them plainly and seeks his guidance without concealing her vulnerability. 329 306 Her initial confession was nevertheless dangerously impulsive, as she threatened herself with her sword while demanding an answer from him. 337

Although she remains fiercely possessive and competitive where Xie Xie is concerned, she shows greater self-control in later conflicts. When Tang Wulin challenged her after Devil Island, Ye Xinglan put away the Star God Sword rather than allowing the spar to escalate. 461 481
