Background / History

Joanna is Vivian's older sister. She attacks the Half-Horn City garrison to obtain the horn of Vivian's Fear Illusion Demon, which she needs to forge the final piece of her magical defensive equipment. Her assault incapacitates the garrison’s defenders, and she confronts Vivian with open contempt for her sister’s timidity. 27 28

During the confrontation, Vivian teleports herself, Joanna, and Du Wei to Half-Horn Mountain to prevent collateral damage. Joanna defeats Vivian after Vivian expends substantial magic moving the battlefield; however, both sisters’ dragons are drawn into the ensuing disaster, and Joanna’s ice dragon is killed. 28 30 35

Du Wei later finds Joanna unconscious on an iceberg and brings her to shore. Stranded with Du Wei and Vivian on the monster-island, where magic is suppressed, she initially attacks Du Wei but is forced to acknowledge that cooperation is necessary for survival. 34 36

After their failed raft escape and encounter with Chris, Joanna awakens with no memory of the island’s events. Her magic gradually recovers at sea. She helps repel pirates aboard the Black Pearl, then agrees to assist Du Wei for three months out of a debt for saving her life. 42 45

Appearance

Joanna is a tall, striking woman with an ice-like beauty, snow-white silver hair, and a cold, bloodless complexion. Du Wei notes that her appearance closely resembles Semel Chira Roland’s magical phantom. 28

• Bright eyes with a cold, scornful gaze. 28
• White, rune-patterned light armor with decorative openwork designs. 28
• Long white cape. 28
• Often described as resembling ice and snow. 28
• Her resemblance to Semel is greater than ninety percent. 28

Personality

Joanna is proud, aggressive, and impatient, particularly toward weakness. She mocks Vivian’s fearfulness despite Vivian’s powerful magic and initially responds to danger with force rather than restraint. 28

Her hostility softens during the island ordeal. After Du Wei confronts her selfishness and ingratitude, she accepts the need to work with him. She also shows genuine empathy when Vivian refuses to abandon her dragon, having lost her own dragon herself. 36 37

She remains fiercely protective of Vivian, rebuking Du Wei when he stares at her younger sister and standing by his explanation of the pirates’ crimes. 38 43

Joanna demonstrates powerful magic before becoming stranded.

• Releases a white halo that sends more than a dozen attackers flying unconscious. 28

• Uses Battle Aura, an ability associated with intermediate-or-higher warriors. 43

• Her armor is magically enhanced and inscribed with runes. 28
• She identifies her jade-green flute as her magic wand. 35

Relationships

• Du Wei Roland — Initially antagonistic after he rescues her; becomes a reluctant ally on the island and later assists him because she owes him her life. 35 37 45
• Semel Chira Roland — Joanna bears an uncanny resemblance to Semel’s phantom, though the context does not establish a familial connection. 28 47 48
