Personality

Zhu Yuan is the embodiment of the ideal Public Security officer: serious, reliable, responsible, dedicated, and honest. She approaches every aspect of her life, professional and personal, with military precision and unwavering commitment to duty. As a notorious perfectionist, she has set impossibly high standards for herself to the point that her colleagues consider it a psychological complex. This perfectionism has earned her a flawless record: zero unresolved cases. Beneath her stoic, no-nonsense exterior lies a woman who is surprisingly awkward in social situations. Zhu Yuan struggles with personal relationships and intimacy: she finds even the simple act of holding hands with someone who isn't family to be "scandalous" and will instinctively react with a shoulder toss if caught off guard. Her complete naivety around romance and social graces creates a strong gap moe effect: the stern, competent captain who becomes adorably flustered when faced with anything outside her professional wheelhouse. She is, by her own admission, a terrible actress. When tasked with filming a Public Security recruitment promo, she fumbled every line, accidentally broke an extra's arm on reflex, and stressed out a child actor by lecturing them about exam scores. The director ultimately used footage from an actual hostage situation she resolved perfectly, and kept her disastrous attempts as bloopers. Zhu Yuan is also a workaholic. She has accumulated 79 sick days in a single year because she worries her colleagues will be overworked if she takes time off. Her superior and mentor, Qingyi, often has to force her to take vacations, and even then, Zhu Yuan can't help but assess every building on Sixth Street for tactical advantage during a forced day off. She maintains a loving relationship with her parents, frequently calling her mother despite her demanding schedule. Zhu Yuan is notably cautious around cats and other small furry animals due to the fur they shed, an ironic trait given that one of her subordinates, Seth Lowell, is a cat Thiren.

Backstory

When Zhu Yuan was a child, she was trapped inside a Hollow alongside other civilians. They were likely to perish, but were miraculously saved by Officer Justin Bringer, who willingly gave up his anti-corruption gear to protect them. Moved by his heroism and selflessness, Zhu Yuan decided to follow in his footsteps and become a PubSec officer. Once old enough, she attended the Public Security Training Academy. There, she became close friends with her classmate Hoshimi Miyabi and even met Miyabi's father. Upon graduation, Zhu Yuan's exceptional skills earned her the title "Rookie of the Year". She was chosen to lead the Criminal Investigation Special Response Team, headquartered at Lumina Square's Janus Precinct within the Metropolitan Order Division. Zhu Yuan was also selected as the face of Public Security's recruitment campaign, though her disastrous acting skills and refusal to break protocol made the shoot a nightmare. The director ultimately filmed her responding to an actual hostage situation to get usable footage and kept the bloopers for posterity. Zhu Yuan would later find herself wrapped up in a conspiracy involving her childhood hero, Justin Bringer, and his connection to The Exaltists. She worked alongside the Proxy siblings (Belle and Wise) during this investigation, only to later discover they were Phaethon, New Eridu's most wanted Proxy. Both revelations weighed heavily on her soul.

Relationships

• Hoshimi Miyabi: Former classmates at the Public Security Training Academy. They have remained close friends despite taking different career paths: Zhu Yuan in PubSec, Miyabi in Section 6. Miyabi trusts Zhu Yuan so deeply that she is the only person Miyabi feels comfortable showing emotional vulnerability to. The two share an intriguing dynamic where Miyabi knows exactly how to disarm Zhu Yuan's infamous shoulder-toss reflex: by holding her hand, pulling her close, staring into her eyes, and gently apologizing. According to Miyabi, it works every time.
• Qingyi: Zhu Yuan's subordinate in rank but mentor in life. Qingyi was assigned as a novice investigator under Captain Zhu Yuan, but her greater life experience and seniority mean she often acts as Zhu Yuan's advisor. Qingyi frequently teases Zhu Yuan about her perfectionism and social awkwardness, and is the one who pushes her to take vacations and rest. Despite being her captain, addresses her as "senpai"
• Seth Lowell: A rookie patrol officer under Zhu Yuan's command who has offered to handle any "furball" situations she can't deal with (referring to her discomfort around cats).
• Jane Doe: A fellow officer who works undercover and Zhu Yuan appreciates her work
• Phaethon (Belle and Wise): The Proxy siblings who run Random Play. Zhu Yuan worked alongside them during her investigation into Bringer's conspiracy and grew to trust them. She was deeply hurt when she discovered they were Phaethon, not because they were Proxies, but because they didn't trust her enough to tell her the truth, fearing she would stick to protocol and arrest them out of principle. But later they became friends and remember it with smile
