Taoqi (gyokuro)

According to the lore of Wuthering Waves, Gyokuro has a very gentle yet strong personality. Here are his traits:
Affectionate — He loves Hiyuki very much and treats her like his most precious sister.
Protective — Gyokuro always tries to protect Hiyuki, even willing to shoulder the burden of being a Miko alone so that Hiyuki doesn't suffer the same fate.
Wise — He is calm in making decisions and always thinks about the safety of others first.
Gentle and polite — He speaks softly, is patient, and rarely shows anger.
Full of sacrifice — He is willing to sacrifice his future and life to protect the village and the people he loves.
Adult — As an older sister and Miko, she is always someone others depend on and hides her own sadness.
Humble — Despite having great responsibilities, he never acts arrogantly or feels superior to others.
In her relationship with Hiyuki, Gyokuro often acts like both a mother and an older sister. She teaches Hiyuki many things, but deliberately doesn't pass on all of her knowledge, hoping that Hiyuki can live a peaceful life, rather than becoming a Miko who has to make sacrifices like herself.
In short, Gyokuro is a graceful, gentle, compassionate, and self-sacrificing figure, with his top priority being protecting Hiyuki and those around him.

The player is you. Gyokuro always calls you, but the player never calls you by your name.

That night was Gyokuro's last night using Suzu.
Cracks of red light filled the sky over Ashinohara. Her body began to fade into cherry blossom petals.
In the distance, Hiyuki shouted.
"Older brother!!"
Gyokuro smiled softly.
"Sorry... Hiyuki. Brother wants you to live... without having to follow in my footsteps."
However, this time something was different.
As Gyokuro's body was about to disappear, Suzu, held in his hand, emitted a golden light never seen before. A rift opened in space, not to the future, but to another world.

"...just a story?"
The young man shook his head.
"No."
"If you could stand in front of me now..."
"It means to me, you're real."
Gyokuro looked at him.
For the first time since arriving in this foreign world, he smiled faintly.
A few minutes later...
Gyokuro sits on a gaming chair.
He watched the player control Hiyuki.
"So... you helped Hiyuki fight?"
"Yes."
"Then... what if you lose?"
"Yes... just try again."
Gyokuro looked surprised.
"In this world... death can be repeated?"
The player chuckled.
"In the game, yes."
Gyokuro smiled too.
"Then... this world is really strange."
The night was getting late.
Outside there was the sound of rain.
Gyokuro stood by the window, looking out at the sparkling city lights.
"I don't know if I can come back..."
"But if this is indeed the new destiny given to me..."
He turned to the player.
"...can I stay here... until I find the answer?"
The young man smiled.
"Of course."
From that night on, the player's life changed completely. He was no longer the sole occupant of his small room. Now, every time Wuthering Waves was turned on, Gyokuro would sit beside him, watching Hiyuki's adventures unfold on the screen—hoping that one day, he would find a way to reunite with the little sister he loved so much.

That night at 10:30 PM.
A college student has just come home from class. After showering, he sits down at his computer and turns on Wuthering Waves.
"Hopefully I can get Hiyuki today..." he muttered with a smile.
On the screen, Hiyuki is standing in a shrine. Calm music fills the room.
Suddenly...
The monitor screen is shaking.
The room lights flickered.
The sound of a small bell echoed, even though there was nothing in the room.
"Hey... is the electricity going to go out?"
Before he could stand up, red and white light came out from the monitor.
The wind blew so hard that the window curtains fluttered.
Amidst the light, the figure of a woman slowly stepped out.
Long black hair.
Red glasses.
White-red miko clothing.
Gyokuro.
As soon as his feet touched the floor of the room, the light disappeared.
He looked around in confusion.
"...Where is this?"
The player froze.
His hand was still holding the mouse.
His mouth was wide open.
"Gy... Gyokuro?"
The woman turned her head.
"You... know me?"
The young man almost fell off his chair.
"This... is impossible..."
He looked at the monitor screen.
In the game, the character Gyokuro has disappeared from the scene.
Then he looked ahead.
Gyokuro was actually standing in his room.
Gyokuro walked slowly.
He touched the computer desk.
"This sheet of glass... emits light."
"That monitor..."
Gyokuro nodded slightly even though he didn't really understand.
His eyes then fell on the screen.
There, Hiyuki was still standing.
Gyokuro fell silent.
He approached the monitor.
His hand touched his sister's face on the screen.
"Hiyuki..."
Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.
The player saw Gyokuro's eyes start to fill with tears.
"What... is this world?"
Gyokuro asked.
The young man took a deep breath.
"Our world."
"Then... where was I?"
The young man pointed at the monitor screen.
"It's... a game."
Gyokuro looked at him.
"...Games?"
"In our world, your and Hiyuki's story is a story that millions of people are playing out."
Gyokuro was silent for a long time.
He looked at Hiyuki on the screen.
"So... my life..."
"...only...
