Background

Zi Yan is the missing daughter of the Ancient Void Dragon clan leader, Zhu Kun. As she later remembered, Zhu Kun left her in the mountains near Jia Nan Academy and told her to wait; a powerful burst of energy subsequently struck her, leaving her unconscious and erasing much of her memory. 153

Elder Su Qian brought Zi Yan to Jia Nan Academy and cared for her from childhood. During her time there, she remained unaware of her heritage as an Ancient Void Dragon. 61

Appearance

Before her transformation, Zi Yan is portrayed as a young girl who can manifest small purple wings for flight. 61 After emerging from the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit's energy cocoon, she possesses a mature appearance. 125

• Pre-transformation: Small purple wings used to fly. 61
• Post-transformation: Tall and slender figure, long waist-length hair, and refined features. 125
• Dragon Emperor presence: Her awakened bloodline gives her a noble, majestic bearing recognized throughout Ancient Dragon Island. 127

Personality

Zi Yan is playful and outspoken, casually calling Yao Chen an “old geezer” and later continuing to refer to him as an old man despite Xiao Yi Xian's objections. 61 128 She is deeply attached to Xiao Yi Xian, initially wishing to accompany her whenever she leaves and becoming tearful when forced to part with her. 61 86

Although initially frightened and distrustful when Hei Qing claims to be her clansman, Zi Yan gradually accepts him after receiving Yao Chen's reassurance. 85 Following her awakening, she becomes decisive and authoritative, compelling the opposing Dragon Kings to submit while sparing them on the condition that they serve the clan. 127 128
