Background

Su Miaohan originally appears as the White-rank [Destitute Girl], living in a slum and suffering school bullying shortly before her ability awakening ceremony. Su Li secretly leaves her a blue-and-white tracksuit, baseball cap, and letter of encouragement. The gesture restores her confidence; she successfully awakens her dark-element ability and receives support from an ability school. 1

She trains diligently after entering the academy, eventually earning recognition from a major academy figure and learning Shadow Gate. Her efforts establish her as the city's leading ability genius. 4

When Su Li later sends her the dagger [Viper's Kiss], she is suspicious of the unknown benefactor but accepts the weapon after Teacher Leng Yue confirms it is safe and suited to her. With the dagger, she condenses her Ability Heart, reaches the second ability realm, and takes first place in the citywide ability-school monthly examination. 14

Appearance

When summoned, Su Miaohan is a black-haired young woman surrounded by faint dark energy, giving her a cool and aloof presence. 2

• Commonly wears a white T-shirt, denim jacket, slim-fit jeans, and black combat boots. 2
• As [Shadow Assassin - Su Miaohan], wears an oversized black hoodie, black denim hot pants, black stockings, and black ankle boots. 15

Personality

Su Miaohan begins as insecure and melancholy due to poverty and bullying, but Su Li's support gives her confidence and a sense of hope. 1 She remains highly disciplined, repeatedly exhausting and recovering her abilities through training rather than relying on talent alone. 4 14

She is cautious toward the mysterious person aiding her and wishes to repay that kindness someday. 14 In combat, she is quiet, decisive, and ruthless toward hostile vampires, prioritizing reconnaissance, infiltration, and lethal strikes. 24
