Yise

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Yise was born to Meiwu'er and Waliwei, a Memory-Weaving Priest of the Tassel Clan from the Sea Clearing Kingdom. Waliwei died in the battle in which Meiwu'er became renowned for defeating a larger troll force. To protect Yise, Meiwu'er faked her death, allowing others to believe that she had died alongside her mother 604 605.

Katharine then arranged for Yise to be fostered elsewhere under the claim that she was Katharine's illegitimate daughter. Several months later, she publicly took Yise back and adopted her. Rumors about Katharine's relationships helped conceal Yise's identity and keep her safe 605.

Yise graduated from the Temple of Light's Central Academy as its most outstanding student and was widely regarded as the strongest member of the younger generation. She subsequently served as a Watcher in the Northern Lands, occasionally hearing confessions from local people 169.

She discovered the truth about her birth mother through a family portrait. Katharine initially identified Waliwei as Meiwu'er's sister, but Yise challenged the explanation after noticing their shared blond-and-white hair and memory abilities. Learning the truth did not diminish her attachment to Katharine, whom she explicitly continued to recognize as her mother 604 605.

Appearance

Yise has long golden hair and amber eyes, with white strands concealed among her blond hair 241 604 801.

• Woven Feathers: The white strands become thicker and develop visible feather structures after her Tassel bloodline awakens 782 788.
• Sword-fighting outfit: Usually wears light armor and carries a sword, creating the impression that she is a conventional magic swordswoman 241 655.
• Alternate combat outfit: Uses a rose-patterned mage dress and a floral parasol when changing roles 680 687.
• Cold-weather clothing: Her clothing can contain warming inscriptions powered by her own magic. Katharine also supplies conspicuously cute thermal outfits, including green monster pajamas with a tail 169 249.

Personality

Yise is competitive, outspoken, and eager to test herself. School intelligence described her as beautiful and brave but also arrogant, overbearing, and determined to come first. Her friends later reveal that some of this conspicuous behavior was deliberate: she drew attention to herself so others would overlook Jielusi's unusual condition 598 712.

Her concern for victims is direct and practical. Experience rescuing abducted girls teaches her to enter dungeons without hesitation, before captors can harm their prisoners. She is correspondingly ruthless toward traffickers, hostage-takers, and hostile gang members 223 600 736.

Although she objects to sacrificing innocent people, Yise does not want to remain a detached moral critic. After confronting Su Ming over civilian casualties from a staged attack, she acknowledges his reasoning and asks to share responsibility for future operations rather than be excluded from their unpleasant work 655.

She is much less confident about grand strategy than combat. Yise can lead teams and execute specific missions, but she doubts her ability to plan an entire campaign. Jielusi reminds her that combat talent and strategic talent need not belong to the same person 549.

Abilities & Skills

Wondrous Item User

Yise's actual combat class allows her to use magical equipment above her own rank and draw out more than its usual power. Changing equipment lets her fill different battlefield roles 655.

• Role flexibility: Can operate as a swordswoman, spellcaster, archer, healer, or specialist item operator, depending on her equipment 655 680 688 731.
• Complex artifact operation: Was uniquely suited to activating Queen Ghostly Flower's hidden eavesdropping array at Saint Lan Cathedral 655.
• Equipment dependence: Her effectiveness depends heavily on the quality and condition of her items. Both her main sword-fighting set and spare mage outfit were ruined during the Prism Shadow battle and subsequent spatial turbulence 655 693.
• Personal power limit: Even while using Saint Rank equipment, her own power is explicitly described as far below Saint Rank during her fight with Prism Shadow 686.

Swordsmanship and Battle Qi

Yise combines agile sword techniques, considerable physical strength, and light-element battle aura. She can also fight barehanded when deprived of weapons 248 249 271 279.

• Star Radiance: Releases a sweeping burst of brilliant sword light 275.
• Ranged sword qi: Projects solidified sword qi and can prepare a defensive response against reflected attacks 547.
• Speed and reactions: Outpaces attacking assassins and intercepts a strike aimed at Jielusi 547.
• Terrain limitation: Narrow passages restrict her mobility and force her into less favorable head-on exchanges 279.
• Endurance limitation: Sustained high-output attacks can exhaust her, especially when she repeatedly absorbs enemy spells instead of avoiding them 41.

Concealment and Illusions

Yise learns to manipulate an opponent's understanding of the battlefield rather than merely hide her body 182.

• Uses activated equipment to blend into wind and snow 181.
• Leaves an illusory double in combat while moving behind an enemy 182.
• Conceals herself in the exact position of her own Shadow Imprint to ambush Prism Shadow 686.
• Uses another illusion to draw a Dark Moon priest's spell away from her real body 787.

Tassel Memory Inheritance

Yise's Woven Feathers store inherited knowledge and can also record new information. Her mother left her both this lineage and the Raven Key 509 729.

• Information recording: Engraves overheard conversations into her hair and later transcribes them 509.
• Inherited knowledge: Carries fragments of Tassel Clan memories, though portions of that inheritance are continually being lost 729.
• Mental persuasion: Can subtly influence listeners; its strength increases after her awakening 782.
• Tetrachromatic vision: Sees ultraviolet patterns and writing invisible to Lu Lailuo 788.
• Information caching: Uses her feathers to search the Raven Library, but cannot immediately assimilate everything she loads. Lu Lailuo must help stabilize her mind after the initial overload 788.

Raven Key Memory Manipulation

With the Raven Key, Yise can intervene in memories and mental pathways 680 755.

• Erases the memories sustaining a manifested Thought-Dwelling Tribe power 680.
• Admits that she had previously used memory erasure on Jielusi three times 680.
• Uses the key to search Jielusi's mind for traces of the Thought-Dwelling Tribe and complete a seal 755.

Archery and Spellcasting

Yise demonstrates practiced archery with Leoni's longbow and can rapidly fire arrows that anticipate an opponent's movement 700 731.

• Uses explosive rune arrows against the Corpse Grave Fiend 749.
• Fires an arrow that reveals a concealed enemy through spreading ripples 786.
• Uses a water-current spell to evade underwater attacks 749.
• Cannot independently cast Zijin's complex air-cavity spell; an amulet is prepared so she can control the effect through an item instead 731.

Tactical Leadership

Yise directs combined-arms units using battlefield screens, shared targeting data, and tactical eyepieces 588 592.

• Coordinates machine guns and mortars against massed attackers 592.
• Summons skeleton lizards to close a defensive gap 592.
• Conducts a planned withdrawal behind flamethrowers and mines when ammunition shortages and sand-induced weapon jams threaten her position 592.

Divine Heart

As a practitioner of the Holy See's path, Yise possesses a Divine Heart that strengthens her mental system and embodies her convictions 801.

• Acting against those convictions should cause it to crack 801.
• Its survival after she kills Jielusi alarms Katharine, who suspects that Yise is dying or bearing the weight of death. Yise does not disclose the full explanation 801.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Sword of the Scales / Blade of the Scales / Stars · Cease Hostilities — Saint Rank sword whose special ability binds and removes an enemy weapon. Sealing Abigai's staff temporarily prevents Yise from using any weapon. She later destroys the sword by overloading it to restrain Prism Shadow's superior Unfallen Garland 244 248 655 686.
• Mithril Wing Armor — Saint Rank armor that protects her through repeated attacks from Abigai. Su Ming disintegrates it to prevent Abigai from exploiting it while controlling Yise 243 244 249 655.
• Raven Key — Maternal inheritance with lock-opening, storage, memory-manipulation, and Raven Magic Array functions. Identified as a sacred relic of the highest grade 680 729 782 788.
• Floral parasol and parasol-rib sword — Alternate equipment supporting both spellcasting and close combat 680 687.
• Zuyi's Blessing — Saint Rank healing item that activates while she is injured after spatial displacement 688.
• Leoni's longbow — Used for archery practice and combat 731.
• Holy Spring Key — Used to treat Lang Yefu, whose condition largely recovers after an hour of treatment 731.
• Eternal Echo crystal shard — Sends a message to Katharine through the dungeon where ordinary wireless and wind-message communications face interference 280.

Relationships

• Katharine Osha — Adoptive mother and protector. Concealed Yise's birth identity, raised her, and remains her mother in Yise's eyes after the truth is revealed. Their relationship becomes strained when Yise refuses to explain her inherited duty 604 605 801.
• Waliwei — Biological mother and Tassel Memory-Weaving Priest. Left Yise the Raven Key and a legacy whose responsibilities Yise only begins to understand after awakening 604 729 801.
• Meiwu'er — Biological father. Faked Yise's death to protect her and, before his own death, asked her to attend to Tassel affairs when she could 605 801.
• Xialike — Recognizes Yise as his adopted daughter, giving her the status of a princess 656.
• Jielusi — Closest friend and frequent combat partner. Yise deliberately draws attention away from her condition and secretly alters her memories. Killing Jielusi in a situation where only one could survive leaves Yise devastated 182 598 680 801.
• Su Ming — Begins as an enemy, later becomes a rescuer, colleague, sparring partner, and the object of Yise's romantic feelings. She tries to respect his existing relationship, at times keeping their interactions strictly professional 41 169 271 529 675 713.
• Zijin / Ailisha — Early battlefield opponent whose illusions inspire Yise's tactical development. Their later alliance includes teasing familiarity; Yise addresses her as “Aunt Zijin” 41 182 743.
• Lang Yefu — Companion during the Water Chestnut Island operation. Helps Yise follow the Beast God prayer and first notices signs of her bloodline awakening 768 779.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Battle of Agate Sea

Yise enters the battle riding a Sea Eagle Beast, then charges through Zijin's ice walls and takes Solar Flame attacks head-on. Her aggressive approach breaks coordination with her allies and leaves her vulnerable to illusions. Zijin defeats her, seizes her sword, and knocks her into the sea 41.

Northern Lands Rescue Operations

Yise and Jielusi intervene when Bennyfinn Whitaker attempts to seize rescued girls, then arrange to take the girls to Dawn Territory. After Bennyfinn's death, Yise helps Su Ming—then posing as the alchemy scholar Graves—hide from the searchers in Shafeng'er Town 167 169.

Her pursuit of the trafficking network leads to a trading-house dungeon filled with abused captives. Yise's team kills the captors, secures the surviving girls, and follows the buyers' westward trail toward the Dome Mountains, Sacred Mountain, and Sea of Divine Grace 223.

Abigai and Divine Might Prison

During the battle with Abigai, Yise seals the enemy's staff but is subsequently placed under mind control. Su Ming destroys her armor, exposing her monster pajamas; her resulting shame and fury break the control. She rejoins the attack and lands the killing blow 244 248 249.

Yise later participates in the Divine Might Prison operation, fighting through its dungeon and killing guard captain Laswage. During a separate ascent of Silent Whisper Peak, she discovers three girls who froze to death while fleeing the Sea of Divine Grace 275 279 283 299.

Intelligence Work and Military Campaigns

Yise operates Queen Ghostly Flower's cathedral eavesdropping system, then supports the covert assault on Grand Princess Janet's hideout. She later leads a dragon charge against the Divine Crown Knights Legion and helps defeat the Blade of Faith assassins 509 524 547 655.

In the Gravel Scale Desert, she directs the Bone Machine First Battalion through repeated lizardman assaults, including a ten-thousand-strong attack. Her forces withdraw in stages after sand-related malfunctions and ammunition shortages erode their position 592.

Cloud Fang City Infiltration

After the Prism Shadow battle destroys her equipment and spatial turbulence injures her, Yise hides with Su Ming in Cloud Fang City. Their work includes acquiring the local language through transferred memories, investigating gangs, and studying the Cangxiao Dynasty's Holy Keys 688 689 693 699 729 736.

Under the name Miss Yuumi, she joins the Raccoon Dog Dream Theater and plays the young Wolf Fang Princess in Cangxiao Dynasty: Flame of Succession Arc. Despite battlefield experience, performing before more than a hundred thousand spectators initially makes her intensely nervous 702 780.

Tassel Awakening and Raven Sky Survey

A Beast God blessing awakens Yise's raven inheritance. During the royal-palace operation, her newly developed vision and Woven Feathers allow her to access the Raven Library and stop the Kindling Magic Array's violent energy release 779 782 788.

After the battle involving Jielusi, Yise awakens in a field hospital and learns that her friend's death was real. Despite her grief, she insists that an inherited responsibility prevents her from giving up. Su Ming approves her request to recover hidden Tassel supplies and construct the Raven Sky Survey, a system capable of tracing Eden, while assigning Weiaoyasi and Lilishan to protect her 801.
