Yeon

**Yeon** is the older sister of Ihwa and the oldest daughter of Ijincheon. She was a member of the Hero Clan with her codename being **Kasha** as a member of the Black Hand and the Sixth Finger of The Fingers. She was shadowed and assassinated by Black Hand in Operation Dusk after an unknown falling out, in which all information regarding her was almost completely wiped from the clan's data banks. Her death is the primary motivation for Hero Killer's reasons in becoming a Villain and seeking vengeance against the clan and her father, Ijincheon's reasons for resurfacing again as well after learning about her death.

## Appearance

Like her sister, Yeon was an incredibly beautiful young woman with silver-white hair and eyelashes, and red eyes that glowed intensely when using her EST. She kept her hair tied in a ponytail, a look she had since childhood and had a vertical scar across her face. As for clothing she wore a black business suit with pants with a white coat that looked like a lab coat whenever she was on assignments.

## Personality

Yeon saw the world with a very blink mindset, seeing nothing but blood and red amongst even the stars themselves. but her overall personality isn't fully known aside from Ihwa's memories of her showing to be a kind and warm person despite her gruesome work as an assassin. However, it appears that she had a warrior's mentality most likely inheriting it from her father as she wasn't afraid of showing her younger sister some aspects of her work as she would sometimes come home covered in blood and even asked Ihwa to avenge her. While her exact reasons for joining the Hero Clan aren't fully known she wanted to create a world where fragile children like Ihwa could thrive.

## History

Yeon was born into the modern era to her father Ijincheon, an extremely powerful Gift user and a member of the Four Swordsmen, and her mother as their oldest daughter before Ihwa came along.

     However during her childhood Yeon and a baby Ihwa were abandoned by their father after he decided to choose their mother over them. The reasons for this have yet to be revealed. Yeon's life afterwards isn't fully unknown, but she raised Ihwa for most of her childhood as her guardian and sole relative in Dust City.

Yeon, now older, would join the Hero Clan as a young adult for unspecified reasons and start using the codename of "Kasha". She became a member of the Black Hand, the clan's personal assassination unit and special operations division that was responsible for taking care of the clan's "dirty work".

Yeon was assigned to multiple missions, many of which were incredibly dangerous for long periods of time as she would disappear for weeks, but she always made sure to come home to Ihwa.  During this period, others in her line of work would start to refer to her as *The King of the Underworld*.

Yeon, at one point, would ask her sister to promise her to avenge her if she ever desired it rather than live a normal life as she allude to threats to her own life. Yeon eventually had a falling out with the Hero Clan during Operation Dusk. And encountered Dalia Mendoza in a confrontation between the two but the events surrounding this encounter aren't fully known.  Aware that Black Hand were slowly but surely tracking her down, Yeon spent one final time together with Ihwa as they went to a local park to watch the stars. After taking Ihwa back to their apartment, Yeon confronted The Undead who had gathered a large number of their members. Yeon mocked them for it and immediately started killing the assassins as she fought against them, but she was overwhelmed and heavily injured by Nanzu. Before they could finish her off Yushin arrived and intervene as he fought off them with Yeon escaping . Mustering the last of her strength to come home, Ihwa found her sister as Yeon died in her arms before Yushin appeared at their door .

## Story

### Assault on Castle Gray Arc

Having failed to kill Hero Killer, Dalia Mendoza has a meeting with Nanzu who had appeared to kill Yeon years ago amongst a field of reeds. The two assassins become confused while trying to remember the events of Operation Dusk and Yeon's demise.

## Abilities

### Overall Abilities

Yeon was an incredibly powerful and deadly fighter, clearly inheriting her prowess from her father. While the full extent of her abilities wasn't shown, she was the youngest member of Black Hand, holding the position of the Sixth Finger which is given to the strongest member of The Fingers. Yeon acquired the position by killing her predecessor. In a short confrontation with Dalia Mendoza, Yeon was able to easily parry and fend off her attacks and place her blade at her neck showing that she was capable of killing her as well. In the memories shown to Ihwa through Chain's ring, Yeon was able to kill multiple members of the Black Hand, who all had power comparable to the Special Forces of the Hero Clan.

### Physical Prowess

* **Double-Bladed Sword Proficiency**: Yeon's main and preferred weapon of choice was a long and double-sided sword that appeared to be created from her EST. She wielded it with skillful grace and dominating power as she fended off the Punisher's attack during their encounter and killed numerous Black Hand members.

### Gift

It is suggested that Yeon may have had some form of mind-based ability as shown in Episode 73 when a figure that resembled a monstrous version of her blocked Mind Shocker's attempt to control Ihwa and Black Hand's lack of clear detail in their memories of her and Operation Dusk.

## Trivia

* It's unknown if Yeon knew Yushin but it would be assumed as she mostly likely met the former Elder through her father's connection with him.
* It's assumed from her handling of weapons and skill as a fighter that Yeon may have received some form of training. One of the likely candidates being her father.
* It's unknown if Yeon shared her family's "hobby" of collecting valuables.
