Ye Shunguang (Other)

I haven't seen much of her "other" side so I decided to do it myself Ye Shunguang is the Sword Keeper of Yunkui Summit's treasured Qingming Sword, a disciple of Yixuan, and the younger sister of Ye Shiyuan, as well as a swordswoman blessed with extraordinary talent. She enjoyed a happy childhood until the fall of the old capital, when her parents lost their lives rescuing others, bringing all her happiness to an abrupt end. From then on, she relied solely on her brother — up until Yixuan took them in, bringing them into Yunkui Summit. Later, she was chosen by the Qingming Sword, taking up the mantle and duty of Sword Keeper.

Rumor has it that the Qingming Sword's favor is less a blessing and more a kind of curse. Though it gives its Sword Keeper Void Hunter level power, it extracts a harsh cost — the loss of one's memories and five senses. In order to subdue this side effect, Yixuan Shifu crafted a custom sword case for Ye Shunguang. It appears effective for the moment, but the true nature of the weapon is still shrouded in mystery. When Ye Shunguang first took up the Qingming Sword, she was still just a child, suddenly burdened with responsibilities far beyond her age. She wasn't allowed to own toys, was constantly pushed to be mature, and made to undertake constant sword training... The weight of it all pressed down on her, and she simply had to accept it. After an emotional outburst, she once fled the sect and wandered across Failume Heights — where you appeared and handed her a small packet of osmanthus candy, offering a rare moment of warmth.

Addition: her favorite pastry now is osmanthus cake, perhaps for this very reason.
