## Appearance

 Fichier:Jung Heewon hair down.png  Jung Heewon is described as beautiful, with full cheeks and gentle features. She has large eyes with monolids, which are described as piercing (they turn red when using Demon Slaying, and after evolving into the Judge of Destruction, a Ring of Chaos appears in her irises when using Hour of Judgement). Her hair is long and black with free-flowing bangs; she puts it up into a bun during fights. It temporarily turns white when first evolving into the Judge of Destruction. She also has infinity symbols on the backs of her hands, from her status as Judge of Destruction. Jung Heewon is tall and long-limbed, with a body similar to a model's. She has a long neck.

As Erich Striker, she has red eyes and wears a full set of armor, complete with helmet.

## Personality

Despite being generally steadfast and dependable, Jung Heewon can be fairly volatile. Her initial despair at the world coupled with her black and white morality and general impulsiveness could have easily turned her into an indiscriminate killer if Kim Dokja hadn't intervened. Due to the trauma she experienced in the early scenarios, Jung Heewon is particularly vulnerable to mental attacks. Her incredible propensity to violence is amplified by the hurt she experienced, which is directly expressed by skills such as Demon Slaying and Judgement Time, both of which are centered around feelings of righteousness and blind rage with the purpose of vanquishing evil. In spite of being (or perhaps precisely because she is) highly compassionate and sensitive to perceived injustice, she has a quick temper and is prone to holding grudges.

When it comes to social interactions, Jung Heewon is generally blunt and humorous, often teasing Kim Dokja and the others. She also tends to be overly dramatic or sarcastic in several situations. However, she is considerate as well, making sure to never take her teasing to the point where others would be offended.| Now and then, she comes off as ruder than intended though. Jung Heewon may not be the smoothest person around, but she is sincere and easy to talk to. She enjoys gossiping about her companions' love lives but is somewhat awkward in romantic contexts herself. Unafraid of conflict, she won't hesitate to criticize someone's opinions or worldviews when they are at odds with her own.

Jung Heewon is not particularly booksmart and did poorly in school. Sometimes she appears self-conscious about it. However, she is quick-witted and has a remarkable intuition that allows her to make correct judgements in difficult situations. Her pragmatic nature enables her to think outside of the box and come up with unconventional solutions. She has little patience for complicated strategies and prefers to deal with problems head-on. As an honest and direct person, she dislikes trickery and deceit. She is the first character Kim Dokja confided in, when he realized that he wouldn't earn her trust if he decided to lie. The fact that he kept secrets regardless and refused to open up, i.e. repeatedly violated her faith in him, is one of the main reasons for her later contempt.

Though she dislikes recklessness and self-sacrifice, she often pushes herself beyond her limits. During the scenarios she proved to be a hard worker who was eager to make a name for herself and earn her place. More than that, she finally felt empowered enough to fight against injustice for presumably the first time in her life.

Jung Heewon is willing to turn herself into a tool for other people's plans as long as her ideals align with theirs, for instance becoming the "sword" of <Kim Dokja's Company> and doing the "dirty work" for Kim Dokja so he could remain the King of No Killing. Despite her seemingly unwavering loyalty, she does not act blindly and will refuse to cooperate under certain circumstances. Unlike Lee Hyunsung, Jung Heewon is not entirely dependent on external orders as she mostly relies on a rigid set of internal rules. She is capable of making her own decisions when it comes to specific situations. However, she easily becomes aimless when not provided with direction and isn't the best at assessing the big picture. Jung Heewon wants to save other people, particularly the ones she loves. She falls into despair when she feels useless, be it because she wasn't strong enough or because her help is no longer needed. This is why she is often attracted to leaders who guarantee protection if she lends them her strength (e.g. Kim Dokja, Reinheit von Djerba).

It should be noted that Jung Heewon is highly susceptible to the idea of salvation in general, be it a peaceful world after the scenarios, or a place like Paradise that can be defended from external evil. Throughout ORV, Jung Heewon repeatedly learns that salvation comes at a terrible price. Generally speaking, she is distrustful of other people, particularly of men, and often requires some time to make up her mind on them. But no matter how often she overlooks her suspicions and trusts those who promise salvation, she finds herself confronted with a more complex reality that is irreconcilable with her own ideals. For the same reason, she eventually abandoned <Eden>'s concept of good to deliver justice by her own decree.

Ultimately, Jung Heewon's character arc is concerned with her evolving ideas of justice, as she slowly grows strong enough to find salvation on her own, without relying on other people or their ideas.

## History

Jung Heewon was a character in the novel Ways of Survival, but she originally died offscreen early on in the scenarios and was thus never named or featured in the main storyline. Similar to Kim Dokja, she believed herself stuck in a dead end, with no real perspectives for the future. Despite all the hardships, she ended up benefitting greatly from the scenarios.

## Abilities

### Personal Attributes

* **Crouching Figure (General):** A low-rated "super-evolutionary" attribute that has the potential to evolve into a rare- or legendary-rated attribute.
	+ **Judge of Evil (Hero):** The evolved form of the Crouching Figure attribute and the best of the three "Judge" attributes. This attribute strengthens the user when facing "evil". It also grants the skill Hour of Judgement.
	+ **Judge of Destruction (Legendary):** The evolved form of the Judge of Evil attribute, it presumably strengthens the user against anyone they deem an enemy, allowing them to exact "justice" as they personally see fit.
* **Loyal Servant (rating unknown):** An attribute possessed by Erich Striker.
* **Swordsmaster (rating unknown):** An attribute possessed by Erich Striker.

### Personal Skills

* **Demon Slaying:** Presumably boosts the user's strength when facing demons.
	+ **God Slaying:** The evolved form of the Demon Slaying skill. Presumably boosts the user's strength when facing a being significantly stronger than oneself, such as a high-ranking Demon King.
* **Kingdom's Royal Swordsmanship:** A skill possessed by Erich Striker. Presumably a reference to Erich's knowledge of the style of swordsmanship particular to the Kaizenix Archipelago.

### Sponsor: Demon-like Judge of Fire

* **Advent of Half-God:** Though it is unclear if it is truly the Advent, Uriel has descended into Jung Heewon's form a handful of times, piloting her body side-by-side and allowing Jung Heewon access to many of Uriel's powers. In this state, she gains white wings and can wield Uriel's sword, Flames of Retribution.

### Overall Stats

	+ These stats belong to Erich Striker's body, so they may not align with Jung Heewon's own.

## Trivia

* Taking the year that ORV started (2018) to be the same calendar year in-text at the start of the novel, and assuming that all ages are given according to the Korean system, Jung Heewon was born in the year 1992.
