==History==
Yi is a 16-year-old girl who lives in Shanghai, China with both her mother and her stern grandmother. Since the loss of her father, she likes to go to her fort and play her violin, which is all that remains of him, determined to fulfill her promise that she will go on a trip. One night Yi notices a yeti on her rooftop. The yeti, whom she calls Everest, is on the run from the ruthless Dr. Zara, a mad scientist and poacher who tries to sell Everest to the highest bidder. Now, it's up to Yi, aided by her friends Peng and Jin to help Everest find his way home.
==Personality==
In the film, Yi is very unsocial and a workaholic as she prefers getting work done instead of having fun if necessary. This is a result of her father's death where she cuts herself off from her family and friends and works numerous jobs to earn money just so she can go traveling like her dad wanted her to do before he died, an example of this is when Peng wanted to play with Yi but she couldn't. Despite this, Yi is a good-hearted girl. When she meets Everest and realizes he's friendly and not a threat to her, Yi helps Everest by hiding him from his pursuers, treats his wound and feeds him dumplings. She even decided to help Everest get back home without any hesitation.
Throughout the journey, Yi lets out her feelings over her father's death which she never done before and slowly starts to reconcile with her friends, especially Jin who Yi was most estranged to because of the latter's popularity and the death of her father. She also realizes how much family and friends are important and that they should be a part of life, while not letting heartache overtake you.
Yi also proves to be very forgiving as she quickly forgives Everest when he repaired her dad's violin after he accidentally broke it and later to Burnish who spent most of the time trying to capture Everest until realizing his mistakes. Yi is also intelligent as she comes up with ideas during the adventure take Everest home and avoid Burnish, Dr. Zara, and their minions. Yi is also very determined and brave as she committed herself to returning Everest to his family and stopping Dr. Zara from using Everest for profit. Yi is also shown to be brave when she sees Dr Zara about to electrocute Everest, Yi tells her to stop and ends up fighting her. However, Dr Zara shoves her off the bridge and unknown to Zara, Yi managed to climb onto a rope and uses her magic violin to free Everest.
During and after the adventure, Yi learns and becomes more social and open towards people, including her family and friends, and finally comes to terms with her sorrow over her father's death.
