Background / History
Shui Bing'er was a student of Tianshui Academy, an academy specializing in water- and ice-type soul masters. Li Yuan selected her because her Ice Phoenix martial soul possessed an ultimate-ice attribute capable of suppressing the evil fire within his World-Destroying Black Dragon martial soul 3 4.
When Li Yuan recruited Tianshui Academy as an affiliated force of Nibelungen, Shui Bing'er voluntarily agreed to leave with him. Her dean, Shui Yan'er, accepted the decision after Li Yuan promised cultivation resources and Titled Douluo training opportunities for the academy 4.
During the journey through Sunset Forest, Li Yuan's evil fire erupted. Shui Bing'er released her Ice Phoenix martial soul and used its ice power to suppress the backlash. The suppression was only temporary, but Long Yuan determined that the evil fire would remain manageable while she stayed at Li Yuan's side 5.
Li Yuan subsequently provided her with major cultivation resources: the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, the Lament of the Frost Speaker left-arm soul bone, Concentration Art, and a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring. She later became one of Black Dragon Academy's four first-generation students and was placed under Yue Yao's personal guidance 8 12 18 19 21.
Appearance
Shui Bing'er is tall and slender, with a cool, sharp aura softened by a mature, composed bearing. Her usual demeanor is associated with the cold elegance of her Ice Phoenix martial soul 4.
- Long blue hair reaching her waist 4
- Delicate features, clear brows, and ice-blue eyes 4 10
- Initially wears Tianshui Academy's blue-and-white uniform 4
- Has an ice-blue phoenix mark below her collarbone 10
- Later receives a Black Dragon Academy uniform and spatial soul-tool badge 22
Personality
Shui Bing'er is calm and decisive. When Li Yuan came to Tianshui Academy, she stepped forward without resistance and chose to accompany him before her dean could argue further 4.
She is initially cautious and uncertain about Nibelungen, asking Li Yuan what kind of force it is while traveling with him 5. She also shows humility toward valuable gifts, repeatedly considering the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, soul bone, and God-Bestowed Spirit Ring too precious to accept 8 12 18.
Her resolve is particularly evident when Li Yuan's evil fire threatens him. Though frightened and confused at first, she chooses to use her martial soul to help suppress it and later pledges to remain loyal at his side 5 10 18.
