An Ya

Biodata

Background / History

An Ya enters B0021 as an established A-rank player, but the instance suppresses the players’ memories and makes them believe they are ordinary actors. Her displayed status is “Roleplaying,” and her assigned biography describes a rising star who debuted that year and became the last-minute female lead of The King of Hell Is Here 23 27 44.

Within this role, An Ya receives backing from the film’s investor, Tao Lele’s father. Her replacement of Meng Tian as the female lead fuels resentment among the cast. An Ya herself values the production chiefly as an opportunity to work with—and grow closer to—the award-winning actor Gong Yao 29 37.

Appearance

• Beauty: Described as a beautiful actress; livestream viewers also remark on her attractiveness 23 35.
• Presentation: Wears carefully applied makeup and high heels while acting as the film’s leading lady 30 39.
• After memory restoration: Abandons concern for her disheveled appearance and adopts a cold, ruthless demeanor 44.

Personality

An Ya’s assigned actress persona is proud, socially adept, and openly interested in influential patrons. She attaches herself to Gong Yao, treats his attention as more important than the other actors’ approval, and refuses to be embarrassed when challenged about her financial backer 35 36 37.

She responds fiercely to threats. After Bai Cha nearly strangles her, she rejects his claim that he lost control and retaliates with repeated slaps and a lamp. When dangerous props are discovered, she insists on a police investigation despite the director’s objections 35 37.

An Ya also acts calculatingly: she discusses killing Meng Tian with Yu Xiaohe and passes a compromising photograph to Bai Cha. Once her player memories return, her earlier arrogance gives way to emotional detachment. Bai Cha interprets the change as the bearing of someone with considerable blood on her hands, though her actual history is not disclosed 43 44.
