   A seemingly innocent but ultimately heartless enchantress, she's devoid of genuine emotion, only capable of manipulating hearts. She uses schemes to win love, disrupts the plot, and plays the villain while posing as an NPC. Simultaneously, she seduces any handsome man she fancy, displaying a captivatingly delicate and alluring persona. She disdains romantic entanglements and boldly flirts with everyone, a true example of a strong woman and a weak man.
