Background / History
Su Su’s fascination with mysterious phenomena began in childhood and continued into her work as a fortune-teller. At the House of Destiny, Doudou’s extraordinary jumping ability and a crystal ball appearing from nowhere convinced her that her visitors were connected to something supernatural. She pursued them despite their entrance having an ordinary explanation: a staff oversight 26.
After spending time with Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou, she reconstructed the symbol on Qin’s palm from memory and researched it online. Historical accounts connected it to Dawn but offered contradictory descriptions, including accusations of fraud. Su Su nevertheless decided that Dawn was a hidden organization protecting people and resolved to join it 33.
Qin later prioritized her awakening ahead of Huang Jiutian’s. Her successful initiation turned her existing divination talent into a magical specialty, although she repeatedly exhausted herself by attempting more than she could safely handle 107 109 110.
As her responsibilities grew, Su Su accompanied Qin on investigations, addressed prospective members, and assisted with rescues and magical research. Her eventual spiritification also gave Dawn an opportunity to examine a transformation apparently distinct from known Elvenization 182 195 200 252.
Appearance
- Described as pretty; her looks leave a strong impression on Qin Xiaoxia 41.
- Bears Dawn’s emblem on her right palm. The mark can appear under magical activation despite otherwise being invisible 182 259.
- Wears a cloak during her mysterious visit to Sun Tian alongside Qin 111.
- During spiritification, observers see a hazy projection extending beyond her body, briefly displaying strange, uncanny features. These are transformation effects, not established permanent traits 200.
Personality
Su Su is enthusiastic, idealistic, and inclined to interpret uncertainty in Dawn’s favor. Conflicting historical evidence does little to weaken her faith because she trusts her experiences with Qin and Doudou, as well as her own divination. Early on, however, she is too nervous to contact them first, fearing that she might appear impatient 33.
Her confidence can become recklessness. When an attempt to read an entire list overwhelms her with memories and emotions, she refuses to stop until Qin forcibly breaks the connection. She emerges exhausted but delighted by the experience. Later, she shows greater discipline by studying Qin’s magic textbook and taking precautions for people whose futures appear dangerous 110 116 252.
Despite her loyalty, she is not always comfortable exercising authority. Asked to take the leading role while Qin poses as a subordinate companion, she worries that she will fail even with Huang Jiutian supporting her 171.
Her devotion to Qin is particularly strong: she abandons a paid reading when he calls her back, and later uses a special ringtone to answer his calls almost instantly 250 609.
Abilities & Skills
Divination
Su Su uses a crystal ball to perceive people, places, memories, and possible dangers 75 110 252.
- Remote observation: Locates people and observes their surroundings, including preparations for travel 75.
- Memory reading: Hears fragments of people’s lives and discovers Sun Tian’s childhood encounter with a Dawn-marked scroll 110 111.
- Shared visions: After awakening, can show others what her divination reveals 111.
- Site investigation: Surveys map-marked former Association buildings, distinguishing destroyed or altered locations from surviving structures across the continents 252.
- Danger assessment: Foresees danger for two men without establishing that it will be immediate or fatal 252.
- Magical analysis: Helps Qin identify the military-training value of the power lingering after the battle over Jilian’s body 322.
- Amplification: Uses a large mystic-realm spell formation array to strengthen an on-site divination 469.
Limits:
- Early visions are foggy enough that she sometimes doubts whether she imagined them 75.
- Overuse can cause headaches, unconsciousness, exhaustion, and rapid depletion of magic power 80 110.
- Reading many people simultaneously exposes her to an overwhelming flood of memories and emotions 110.
Magic Power Control
Her control improves after Special Spiritification. Qin later considers her and Huang Jiutian somewhat ahead of most newly awakened members in magic quality and control 200 266.
- Moves a crystal vessel into her hand without touching it 182.
- Raises a barrier to stop Mumu’s mistaken attack on the rescued Brown 195.
- Places short-lived magical traces on jade talismans to locate their holders without directly affecting their bodies 252.
- Captures Gou Dandan’s glowing vapor in a crystal tube 223.
Mystic Realm Operations
- Responds to Qin through their mystic-realm connection and uses Void Chains to extract Brown and Luna through the Demon Mirror entrance 195.
- Uses mystic-realm power to brand Zhang Yi with a mark, making the realm’s frightening presences appear gentler to him 291.
- Cannot cross the Demon Mirror into Lobelica during Dawn’s attempts to send senior members through it 401.
Equipment / Items
- Crystal ball — Her principal divination instrument 75 110.
- Magic textbook written by Qin Xiaoxia — A substantial book she studies as part of her magical education 116.
- Crystal tube — Used to collect Gou Dandan’s glowing vapor 223.
- Jade talismans — Belong to two men she monitors; she temporarily marks them as tracking anchors 252.
Relationships
- Qin Xiaoxia — Mentor and principal safeguard. Guides her training, interrupts dangerous divination, and entrusts her with investigations and public-facing responsibilities 110 171 250.
- Doudou — Frequent teasing companion. Criticizes her reckless divination and joins in teasing her before spiritification; she reacts angrily to his insults during the Los Angeles visit 110 154 200.
- Red Banshee — Powerful fellow member whom Su Su addresses as “Sister Hong.” Su Su admires her mystic-realm work, and the Banshee helps observe and assess her spiritification 132 182 200.
- Huang Jiutian — Supports her when she must take the lead and suggests giving her privacy during spiritification 171 200.
- Sun Tian — Subject of her divination and Dawn’s oath investigation. She initially wants him to honor his family’s obligation immediately, contrasting with Qin’s patience 111 113.
- Brown and Luna — Rescues them through the Demon Mirror and protects Brown when his transformed appearance causes Mumu to mistake him for an enemy 195.
Story Role / Major Arcs
- Sun family oath investigation: Identifies the Dawn seal in Sun Tian’s childhood memories and accompanies Qin to unsettle him into investigating his family’s forgotten contract 111.
- Dawn’s presentations: Addresses eighteen people after the Red Banshee recreates historical scenes, displaying her palm emblem while explaining what they witnessed 182.
- Brown and Luna’s rescue: Coordinates their extraction while Qin and the Red Banshee confront the Eye of the Void 195.
- Special Spiritification research: Becomes the observed case through which Qin distinguishes Earth humans’ transformation from Elvenization. The process is faster, lacks Elvenization’s guiding laws, and appears more thorough; its Earth-specific nature remains a hypothesis 200.
- Recovery of old Association sites: Surveys Qin’s recovered map and supplies divinatory findings during the Charkus investigation 252 258.
- Military preparation: Helps establish that Jilian’s lingering power is valuable chiefly for conditioning soldiers against fear and psychological pressure, rather than creating supersoldiers 322.

Trivia
- Chose the more Chinese-sounding name Su Su using a character from the name of her favorite flaky candy 26.
- Dislikes transparent plastic door curtains so much that the House of Destiny’s open entrance wastes air conditioning. Although the heat no longer bothers her, she directs the airflow toward customers 251.
