**Zihua Yu** (于梓桦, *Yu Zihua*?) is the main protagonist in "Screams into the Abyss". She is 156 years old and a Greek demigod, the daughter of Astraeus and her mother. She is the sole disciple of **Bingwen Yu** (于炳文, *Yu Bingwen*?) and resides on the Peak of Jade, and when visiting Camp Half-Blood, stays within the Artemis cabin. She is the reincarnation of **Guanyin** (觀音, *Guanyin*?), the Chinese goddess of mercy, and the current partner of **Yehen Lü** (吕烨函, *Lü Yehen*?) or Kieran.

## Appearance

*"Everyone in the clearing stopped breathing - in fact, it seemed the entire world had screeched to a halt. There was no doubt in her mind - this woman, clothed in her foreign flowing garments, was a goddess, and an extremely powerful one at that."*

Sapphire is acknowledged as containing ethereal and seemingly other-worldly beauty, so shocking that birds stop flying and fish stop swimming upon seeing her. Guanyin is the model of Chinese beauty, and to say a lady or a little girl is a Guanyin is the highest compliment that can be paid to grace and loveliness. During the day, she has long, wavy black hair that is always tied up in a sort of ancient Chinese hairstyle, be it an assortment of buns or a half-updo held by a hairpin and sometimes including a lotus flower. When loose, it is constantly flowing, as if a never-ending breeze is repeatedly lacing through it. She has eyes which reflect sky during dusk with a golden ring surrounding the pupil, that are said to instantly calm whoever gazes upon them. From dusk 'til dawn, her hair turns silver and reflects the stars in the night sky, ever-sparkling.

Sapphire possesses a slim, toned, hourglass figure. She stands tall and slender, a figure of infinite grace, her gently composed features conveying the sublime selflessness and compassion that have made her the favorite of all deities. On her glabella or above it is where she paints different red **huadian** (花钿, *huadian*?) designs, constantly fluctuating. She is mistaken as a goddess by the Greco-Roman demigods and treated as such due to her appearance, as well as the aura she possesses from her cultivation level. Sapphire is always dressed in elaborate robes or slightly tweaked **hanfu** (汉服, *hànfú*?) in which the symbol of her sect is stitched on the sleeves, which are always white. She is somehow always barefoot with her feet never getting blemished nor injured as Guanyin usually depicted as barefoot.

## Personality

*"She had a headache of a personality. She was horribly slothful and loud, sometimes descending into what he could call madness, but on the flip side, was incredibly entertaining, somehow always able to crack jokes even when the situation was completely inappropriate. She was too kind, to the point where he hesitated to tell her secrets, as all it would take for her to spill her guts to another person was if they pretended to have a seizure in front of her."*

Sapphire, due to her being the incarnation of the personification of infinite compassion and mercy, is generous to a grave fault. When someone conscious attacks her or plots against her, she immediately sympathizes with them and will go as far as to lay down her life, which as put her and the people around her in danger multiple times. She is very aware of this part of her personality and despises it, being lazy and overdramatic to dissent with her unfavorable traits.

However, Sapphire is also very fickle, as her father betrayed the Olympians not once, but twice, and only bore her in hopes that she would overthrow the Greek gods yet again. She will change sides in a heartbeat but will return to one side if she feels that they’re suffering from her loss. She has faced numerous disparaging comments as well as sexual harassment due to the fact that she possesses the Heavenly Water Spirit Vein, molding her personality into being somewhat closed-off to anyone other than those she is close to.
