Background / History

Water Rose was an Honorary Elder of the top-tier first-rate guild Twilight Echo and already a famous figure in virtual gaming when she approached Shi Feng at the Black Wing City auction. Acting for Twilight Echo, she sought a partnership with him after witnessing him spend 55 Gold on Flame Thunderstorm. 117

Shi Feng regarded her as trustworthy because of her reputation for valuing people over profit. In his previous life, Water Rose had gone to war with a first-rate guild to protect a close friend, even though the conflict severely damaged Twilight Echo; that friend later became the Tier 6 Law God Shuang Wuhui. 118

Her cooperation with Shi Feng developed through large-scale trades in blueprints, equipment, gold, and rare materials. She personally gathered vast supplies from the Ore Kingdom, including more than a thousand stacks of Sturdy Stone and rare materials suited for high-grade equipment. 186 187

After refusing to abandon over a hundred subordinates, she accepted Shi Feng's recruitment only when he agreed to cover their teleportation fees to the Star-Moon Kingdom. She became Zero Wing's Vice Guild Leader and rapidly took charge of the guild's affairs. 240 248

Water Rose later temporarily resigned as Zero Wing's Vice Guild Leader to aid Twilight Echo against All Things Hall in the Storm Empire, taking former Twilight Echo members with her. After Shi Feng forced All Things Hall to stop its assault, she remained briefly to settle Twilight Echo's affairs. 2073 2084

Appearance

Water Rose is described as a beautiful, poised woman with a proud figure. After gaining the Sea God Inheritance, she is typically seen carrying a deep-blue crystal staff and projecting an intimidating magical aura. 1437

• Her Sea Dragon Staff is an ice-blue, water-surrounded crystal staff that emits a trace of divine might. 1434
• Her upgraded equipment later gives her an aura compared to a goddess descending into the world. 2076
• She conceals her equipment effects when necessary, preventing others from identifying their quality. 2076

Personality

Water Rose is principled, loyal, and notably relationship-oriented. Her willingness to endanger Twilight Echo's standing for a friend established her as someone Shi Feng could trust in business and guild affairs. 118

She is a capable and businesslike administrator who can shift immediately from personal conversation to organizing guild operations. Her negotiations with the Star River Alliance and Blackwater show that she remains calm under intimidation and is willing to apply pressure when Zero Wing's interests are threatened. 248 708 1579

In combat, she is confident but receptive to growth. She accepted a difficult Dark Arena match against Thousand Blades as an opportunity to temper herself, and her ability to study his movement patterns during battle earned his respect. 789 790
