Sina

**Sina** (신아, *Sin-a*) was Haewon Dang's personal maid who did not exist in The Heir to the Namgung Clan novel.

## Appearance

Sina is a plain looking young woman with fair skin and black eyes. She has long black hair that falls to the small of her back and is parted in the middle, with two portions tied into loose loops behind her ears. She has two separate strands by her ears and a singular strand falling to the middle of her forehead. She wears the standard uniform of a maid of the Dang Clan consisting of a neutral colored *shanku* with a white *zongyi* underneath.

## Personality

Sina is mostly meek and obedient and diligently completes her tasks. Despite being a commoner, she seems to think rather highly of herself. She is quick to change her allegiance.

## History

Sina aided Bi Moyong in poisoning Haewon for 10 years prior to the start of the series.

## Synopsis

### Introduction Arc

Sina is the first to great Haewon Dang after she regains consciousness from the Namgung Clan heir's qi attack. She leaves with Bi Moyong so Haewon can recuperate. A few days later, she joins her on her journey to the Eon Clan.

During the journey, she advises Haewon not to converse with commoners like Bangsik Yang. Haewon scolds her, reminding her that she is a commoner herself before ordering her to help the men with the food, saying she can take the medicine herself. Sina becomes flustered, knowing she must prepare the medicine herself as it is actually poison. She tries to insist she be the one to prepare it when Haewon questions her why it must be her, asking if she puts anything special in it. Sina hastily denies it and Haewon drops the subject.

A few nights later, she learns that Haewon has gained the ability to use qi and practice martial arts. Later on, she tries to discretely call for a messenger bird, a letter clutched in her hand, but is caught red handed by Haewon and Bangshik. Haewon retrieves the message and reads it aloud, learning Sina had reported her new abilities and the need for the selection of the Dang Clan heir to happen soon. Sina begs for forgiveness, insisting that she had only been following Bi's orders. When Haewon reveals that she had known Sina had a hand in poisoning her, she begs for her life. The two restrain her and Haewon states that she will take care of Sina herself.

The group arrives at Hebei a month later. Bangsik releases Sina and reminds her that should she try anything, Haewon could now deal with her easily. She furiously thanks Haewon for sparing her life and promises not to disappoint her. She is separated from Haewon as she goes after the Moyong Clan spy with Bangsik and the other warriors. As Sina is walking along the streets of the village, she unknowingly walks right into the line of fire of Haewon's energy bomb and is unable to react before it hits her, instantly killing her. Sina is buried by the Dang warriors somewhere in the village.

## Relationships

### Haewon Dang

Despite having served her for the last 10 years, Sina has no love or loyalty for Haewon. She had no qualms feeding her the poison and only begs for Haewon's forgiveness when she is caught in the act of reporting to Bi Moyong.

### Bi Moyong

Sina followed Bi's orders and closely monitored Haewon's movements for a decade. It can be assumed that she was more loyal to the Moyong Clan than the Dang Clan.
