Huang Ying

Biodata

Background

Huang Ying is a first-year middle-school student and a natural-born Magical Girl whose mother was also a Magical Girl. Her inherited affinity gives her unusually abundant magical traits and allowed her to awaken at an exceptionally young age, but it also makes her heavily dependent on magic to sustain her Magic Core 63 82.

As a candidate rather than an officially registered Magical Girl, Huang Ying receives training and accompanies older girls in supporting roles. She had already been active for about a year by the time of the White Witch incident, though her combat judgment and experience remained unreliable due to her age 63 82.

Personality

Huang Ying is energetic, outspoken, and strongly motivated by responsibility. She routinely protects classmates from bullying and immediately investigated a classmate's report of being followed by a strange dog, believing that helping others was her duty 85.

Though young, she is willing to challenge older Magical Girls when she believes they are being unfair. She rejects Huang Xing's hostility toward Fu You because Fu You saved her life, insisting that gratitude is part of what it means to be a Magical Girl 89.

Her innocence also shows in less serious moments: after awakening in the hospital, she is more distressed by losing her weekend than by the danger she survived 86.

Abilities & Skills

Natural-Born Magical Girl Physiology

Huang Ying inherited strong magical traits from her mother, making her body more receptive to and dependent on magic than that of an ordinary Magical Girl 82.

• Her Magic Core can hold substantial power, contributing to her early awakening and survival against the White Witch 82.
• Severe magic depletion can cause her core to wither and leave her permanently unconscious if not restored 82.
• Her yellow magic can resonate with Huang Xing's similar power, allowing Huang Xing to check for obvious contamination 89.

Wand Combat

Huang Ying fights using a wand and has demonstrated considerable courage against threats beyond her experience level 85.

• Pursued and fought a Wolf Fierce Beast alone after it lured her into an abandoned building 85 86.
• Exhausted the Demon Wolf and ultimately killed it before encountering the White Witch 85 86.
• Continued resisting the White Witch until her magic was exhausted and she collapsed 85.
• Her youth and limited judgment leave her vulnerable to traps and enemies of the White Witch's level 63 85.

Story Role / Major Arcs

School Witch Battle

Huang Ying participates in the battle against the hair-controlling Witch at the school. Although she is among the less experienced combatants, she receives a provisional action score of 40 during the incident's S-rank evaluation 34 35. Unlike Lan Xiaohuan, she questions whether Fu You is truly evil solely based on appearance 34.

White Witch Incident

After learning that a classmate has been followed by a frightening dog, Huang Ying investigates alone. The “dog” is a Demon Wolf that appears to have deliberately lured her toward an abandoned apartment building 85 86.

Huang Ying defeats the Demon Wolf but is then caught in the White Witch's attack. She fights with her wand until she depletes her magic and loses consciousness; by the time Huang Xing arrives, she is already incapacitated 65 85. Fu You later rescues her from the burning building while preserving her Magical Girl form, since reverting to an ordinary human body amid smoke and fire could have killed her 66.

Hospitalization and Recovery

Huang Ying remains unconscious after the battle because her Magic Core is dangerously depleted. Huang Xing considers sacrificing her own remaining magic and Black Crystals to help, while Huali offers his resources as well 81 82.

Fu You ultimately transfers intertwined golden and dark magic into Huang Ying's core. Fu You restrains the corruptive impulse of her Witch magic and restores Huang Ying without allowing her to fall 84. Huang Ying awakens, views Fu You as her savior, and later recovers fully 85 88 103.
