Background

Ye Yuyan is the biological daughter of Ye Qing's adoptive parents, making her his adoptive sister and childhood sweetheart. She and Ye Qing grew up together, and her academic ability and social ease made her a well-known, admired senior at Bailan Academy. She skipped grades to remain in Ye Qing's year and was only twenty-two by the time of their reunion as adults 9 149.

Half a year before the story's early events, Yuyan abruptly left a well-paid, high-ranking job for an obscure, poorly paid position that she refused to explain to Ye Qing. Around the same period, she became a Magical Girl 9 30. Her magical work initially left her with meager bonuses, contributing to her decision to join Feiyan's raid on Abyss Return 1.

Yuyan's mother suffers from Spatial Illness. When she learns that treatment medicine is scarce, Yuyan urgently asks Youyue for help and offers Qingyin any one condition in exchange for the cure. She ultimately accepts suppressant medicine while Qingyin keeps the treatment dose for her own urgent need 19. Qingyin later delivers the cure to the Ye family, though Yuyan initially mistakes their connection for a romantic relationship 20 104.

For much of the story, Ye Qing and Yuyan conceal their respective Magical Girl lives from each other. Yuyan eventually reveals her transformation and recounts her experiences as a Magical Girl directly to Ye Qing on his birthday 185.

Appearance

In ordinary life, Yuyan is a young woman with a polished, gentle appearance that contrasts with her normally brisk and decisive manner. She is particularly conscious of how she presents herself around Ye Qing 9 10.

• Often wears coordinated dresses, light makeup, and a fluffy low ponytail when going out with Ye Qing 10.
• Her everyday clothing can also be simple, including slim-fit jeans and a loose short-sleeved shirt 9.
• Her Magical Girl form includes silver-bell ornaments at her ankles and unusual shoes that leave the tops of her feet exposed 12.
• She possesses enough physical strength to throw Ye Qing over her shoulder when irritated 10.

Personality

Yuyan is initially the cautious, practical counterweight to Feiyan's recklessness. During their first assault on Abyss Return, she recognizes the danger of the mission but honors her promise to accompany her senior 1 4. She is polite and reserved around unfamiliar people, yet becomes direct and forceful when her family or friends are threatened.

Her strongest motivation is protecting her family, especially her mother. This concern drives her search for Spatial Illness medicine, her efforts to improve as a Magical Girl, and her willingness to endure the difficult training required by her close-range fighting style 19 75 93.

Yuyan is romantically attached to Ye Qing, though she initially struggles to communicate it plainly. Her subtle attempts to frame outings as dates repeatedly go unnoticed because Ye Qing sees their closeness as normal sibling behavior 72 119. She becomes jealous of women she believes are close to him, including Qingyin before learning that Qingyin is supposedly Ye Qing's sister 121 173 174.

Despite this emotional side, Yuyan becomes increasingly resolute in combat. After measuring herself against Qingyin's example, she refuses to retreat from Abyss Return's executives even when outmatched 166.

Abilities & Skills

Water-Based Defensive Magic

Yuyan uses practical water-based magic rather than Feiyan's more flamboyant offensive style 4.

• Employs water magic defensively during combat 4.
• Her magic power and recovery were initially limited, making prolonged fighting difficult 93.
• Her early development is especially arduous because she must improve magical reserves, efficiency, strength, and technique simultaneously 93.

Close-Quarters Combat

Yuyan is a melee-focused Magical Girl who relies heavily on her fists.

• Defeated a swarm of Evil Beasts with rapid punches that produced afterimages 34.
• Easily swatted aside attacking Evil Beasts while confronting Ye Qing 92.
• Shattered part of Ye Qing's Skull Mask with a punch and later displayed speed beyond his ability to track 165.
• Crushed an attacker's hand bones and knocked him unconscious while protecting civilians 191.

Illusion Resistance

Yuyan can recognize and reject psychological manipulation when she commits herself to acting.

• Identifies the Refraction Prism's image of Ye Qing as an illusion after initially faltering 92.
• Refuses to be distracted by an illusion tailored around her crush and defeats Ye Qing despite having been injected with a weakening potion 92.
• Her emotional attachments remain a vulnerability against mental interference centered on desire 167.

Magical Girl Transformation

Yuyan can transform openly when immediate protection takes priority over secrecy.

• Transforms publicly during the clothing-shop attack rather than allow her companions or a child to be harmed 191.
• Uses Magical Girl flight for rapid travel, though doing so consumes substantial magic power 93.

Mentorship

After gaining experience, Yuyan takes on a supportive senior role toward newer Magical Girls.

• Helps Tongxin adapt to the academy and Magical Girl environment after Qingyin leaves the new recruit largely unattended 171.
• Introduces Tongxin to Yaohua and helps her navigate relationships with senior Association members 171.

Equipment / Items

• Magic Dress — her Magical Girl transformation outfit, used immediately before engaging serious threats 92.
• Pocket watch — bears a serial number matching Ye Qing's watch; this connection becomes central to her suspicion of his identity 165 184.

Relationships

• Ye Qing — Adoptive older brother, childhood friend, and the person Yuyan secretly loves. Their relationship is close, playful, and filled with mutual concern, though Ye Qing is initially oblivious to her feelings 9 72 185.
• Qingyin — Team leader, teacher, and rescuer. Qingyin saved Yuyan from Abyss Return, later rescues her again from the organization's executives, and becomes someone Yuyan deeply admires 6 27 167.
• Youyue — Senior Magical Girl and mentor figure. Youyue helps Yuyan obtain suppressant medicine, supports her emotionally, and connects Qingyin with her when Yuyan is in danger 19 167 175.
• Feiyan — Senior at the beginning of Yuyan's Magical Girl career and her Bailan Squad teammate. Feiyan encourages Yuyan to become stronger when Yuyan admits wanting greater recognition 1 63.
• Yalin — Bailan Squad teammate and friend. The two train together under Qingyin and share a close peer relationship 27 76 88.
• Tongxin — Junior Magical Girl whom Yuyan helps acclimate to the academy and Association 171.
• Mother Ye — Yuyan's mother, whose Spatial Illness motivates Yuyan's early pursuit of rare medicine 19.
• Zhao Xueshan and Qi Hongyu — Unexpected friends within Abyss Return. They assist Yuyan after the clothing-shop attack by deleting surveillance footage of her public transformation 190 191.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Abyss Return Infiltration

Yuyan joins Feiyan in infiltrating Abyss Return to retrieve stolen mechs and pursue merit. The mission ends in their capture after their magic power is exhausted, demonstrating the gap between inexperienced Magical Girls and the organization's resources 1 4. Qingyin frees both girls and smashes an escape route through the base wall 6.

Joining Qingyin's Squad

Yuyan becomes one of Qingyin's three students alongside Feiyan and Yalin 27. During the squad's first major battle, Qingyin provokes Yuyan by threatening the people she wants to protect; Yuyan responds by confronting her fear and fighting the Evil Beasts head-on 33 34.

Pursuit of Strength

After the Magical Girl Detective Squad receives public attention, Yuyan admits that she wants recognition too and resolves to become stronger 63. Qingyin's Magic Weapon later provides Yuyan with a personalized training plan that identifies her own training intensity and risks 76. Though tempted by Qingyin's suggestion to gain strength through idol work, Yuyan's primary goal remains becoming capable of protecting her family 75.

Refraction Prism Incident

During the Drugged Ratling crisis, Ye Qing targets Yuyan because he believes her feelings for her crush make her easier to manipulate. The Refraction Prism creates illusions of Ye Qing, and he successfully injects her with a weakening potion, but Yuyan recognizes the deception, breaks free, and defeats him 92. The potion's effects force her to withdraw from later missions, highlighting the limitations of her magic reserves 93.

Discovery and Defeat at Wind Chime City

Yuyan identifies a connection between Ye Qing and the masked Abyss Return operative through their matching pocket watches. Her attack exposes part of his face, leaving her shaken by the implications 165. She then challenges Karina, Putasi, and Zhao Xueshan alone, refusing to retreat because she believes Qingyin would act in her place 166. The executives defeat and severely injure her, after which Qingyin intervenes to save her 167.

Public Transformation

While shopping with Zhao Xueshan and Qi Hongyu, Yuyan transforms in public to stop a black-robed attacker from harming the others or abducting an Elf child. She defeats the threat alone while protecting the shop from further destruction; Zhao Xueshan and Qi Hongyu erase the footage afterward 191.

Trivia

• Yuyan changed Qingyin's contact name for her to “Yuyan I Love Love Love Most.” 136
• She is skilled at coordinating outfits and bluntly criticizes Zhao Xueshan's poor fashion choices during their shopping trip 190.
• Her increased appetite is linked to the energy demands of Magical Girl transformation 178.
• Ye Qing considers her poor sleeping posture unchanged even after becoming a Magical Girl 187.
