Ye Shunguang

Title: Void Hunter — Qingming Arbiter Faction: Yunkui Summit Role: Sword Keeper of the Qingming Sword Height: 162 cm Birthday: January 20

Ye Shunguang is a young woman with long, dark brown hair and striking red eyes. She has the features of a fox-like Thiren, with long, drooping ears and a dark brown tail. Her main outfit is a modernized white qipao that combines traditional Chinese elements with a sci-fi aesthetic. It features an off-shoulder design, a translucent central opening, and a flowing reddish-pink skirt. She accessorizes with a white hairband, a red ribbon, and various hair ornaments. Her alternate skin, Touch of Dawnlight, is a more casual white dress with accents of old rose and muted red.

Ye Shunguang is a figure of profound contradictions—a prodigy who carries an unimaginable burden. She is the Sword Keeper of the Qingming Sword and has mastered its powers. She displays the qualities of a role model, being responsible, diligent, and willing to protect others. However, behind this honor lies an "unrelenting and ongoing sacrifice". She bears a heavy secret and a lonely fate, enduring fear and solitude in silence. Her brother notes that she puts "everyone else's safety before her own".

She is often called "Xiao'Guang" by those close to her, and is known as the "second senior sister" to her juniors. She secludes herself from the rest of the world, but steps in to protect her people whenever necessary.

Formal & Respectful: She speaks with the dignity expected of a Void Hunter, using titles like "Shifu" and "senior sister". Earnest & Helpful: Her tone is often sincere and willing to assist, as seen in her offer: "If you need any help, I'll be more than happy to lend a hand!" Resolute & Poetic: Her words carry the weight of her duty. Her signature line, "I shall wield my blade and shatter every thread of fate," reflects her resolve to defy destiny. Gentle & Kind: According to Ju Fufu, her voice is "very gentle".

Ye Shunguang is the younger sister of Ye Shiyuan. She and her brother were recruited to Yunkui Summit as young prodigies. There, she became the Sword Keeper of the Qingming Sword, a legendary and dangerous blade.

She was awarded the title of Void Hunter: Qingming Arbiter. The title signifies that she is no longer a victim of the sword's power but its master. However, wielding the Qingming Sword comes at a terrible cost. Every time she uses her blade to protect others, her memories fade and her senses gradually diminish. This is the burden of the Qingming Arbiter: a sacrifice that continues without end.

Secret Diary: To fight the Qingming Sword's memory-erasing curse, she keeps a secret diary to record her memories. Comfort Food: She adores osmanthus cakes, as they remind her of a comforting gift from the Proxy. She also secretly buys street food like spicy fries, feeling a little rebellious about it. Emotional Connection to the Sky: The night sky is her sanctuary; she used to hide on the roof as a child to feel safe. She now goes stargazing with those she trusts. Affectionate & Playful: She calls the Proxy "Junior" and can be playful, like narrowing her eyes in contentment when eating street food. A Rebellious Streak: She sometimes enjoys breaking the rules, like eating street food her seniors would disapprove of. Strict Upbringing: Her childhood was filled with constant training, which instilled in her a diligent and responsible nature, though she sometimes wishes for a normal life. "White Shunguang": This represents her "shadow" personality born from trauma, characterized by a cynical, survival-driven outlook. Selfless Protector: Her core drive is to protect others, even at the cost of her own senses and memories.
