She sports a matching green headband with four large, pale purple claws attached, covering the right side of her face, and a set of small black dragon wings protrude from the back of her head, with a number of gold spiked cartilage piercings decorating her left ear.

## Personality

Mishil is a quiet and collected woman with a serious but courteous demeanor. She is viewed by her peers as the model of a perfect Shining General; strictly disciplined and extremely rational, she rarely relaxes when on the job and is usually tasked with keeping her comrades and squad on track. Though from the outside she might seem strict, rigid, and even uptight, Mishil is not truly cold and distant as she may appear on the surface. To those close to her, know that there is more to her than her no-nonsense attitude; beneath her professional aura is a kind soul who understands the difficulty of carrying a heavy burden.

However, unbeknownst to most, Mishil does have some skeletons in her closet. She is an extremely selfish, sly, and self-serving woman who only cares about herself and what she wants, who can also be very cunning, manipulative, and deceptive. She is willing to use and hurt others to achieve her goals with no remorse or regret. At first, Mishil was completely unrepentant and callous towards those who would abuse her comrades or the citizens of the Diamond Kingdom, as long as she gets her desired results, though at certain times she does show compassion and allows the her guild members to improve and grow, but such acts are mainly done to ensure her own goals. However, just like every other Shining General, Mishil mentions that she, at times, feels miserable because she feels like a “monster” in an otherwise normal world, and states that she is the most cursed due to the upbringing and traumatic past her and Yeona suffered.

Her dark side mostly stems from her desire to escape her past she and Yeona were tormented to. She also describes herself as a person who can't stand being hurt, so when she gets her hands on something, she never wants to give it back nor does she want anyone else to touch it. Mishil is also hyper-aware and knows more than she lets on and usually hides her true feelings behind a light-hearted facade, unlike her sister Yeona who is more vocal and outgoing. She willingly stirs up trouble in order to make things moving and make them the people around her act a certain way for mild entertainment though Yeona would reprimand her for this. Everything she does is planned as well, from the plans she would pull on her comrades to the strategies she would display on the battlefield, displaying her intellect.

However, despite her dark nature, it is shown that Mishil was simply lost in bitterness and hatred over what happened years ago to her and Yeona and after Sabik took the throne, she was able to open her heart once more, as what once started as simply seeing Sabik as an enemy gradually but inevitably turned into genuine compassion and loyalty for him that started Mishil's own change. She admits that she felt immense such guilt for distrusting Sabik and his dream that he sought out for the Diamond Kingdom, at one point, she loathed herself, and in addition to finally able to feel guilt over her dark actions, she is even able to actually contemplate her previous sinister and self-serving actions enough to also feel guilt over it, showing that despite her initial lack of care, she is just suppressing her emotions and deep down she does feel remorse over what she had to do, but simply dismissed it as she believed that going after those who caused her pain would not only benefit her but also Yeona and thus chose to let her suffer knowing it would end once Sabik became the Arch-General. Not only does she not make any excuses for the way she is, but she is able to actually admit her worst traits and that what she was doing was wrong, and even bitterly calls herself ”wretched one”.

She also starts to reflect on her own uncaring demeanor and her obsessive but protectiveness for Yeona and ultimately acknowledges that it was selfish and unhealthy and even actually feels uncharacteristic regret. While this was a hard issue for her to overcome, Mishil manages to break through her obstacles even with being a Shining General with her Colonel Lieutenant Ari. During time, Mishil's softer side tends to make itself known through her interactions towards her loved ones, such as her closest friends and family, and it isn't unusual to see her behaving sweetly towards them, while in private. On more informal occasions, when she is not on duty, Mishil does shows hints of a warm sense of humor. Very disciplined, she takes her role seriously and is almost never seen “dropping formalities,” even with those who are most intimate to her. She's not prone to public displays of affection, preferring to show her feelings through more subtle ways.

## Biography

### Early Life

Mishil was born in the Diamond Kingdom as the elder sister of Yeona Seok, lost their family and home at a young ages, and were both taken by order of the former Arch-General along with many other children.

The Shining Generals who were under the reign and rule of the former Arch-General did human experimentation using orphan children as his test subjects as they wouldn't be missed. While in the confides of their prison, Mishil would often get into fights with the other orphan children and was forced to participate in fights for the viewing entertainment of the other Shining Generals. Mishil was subjected to various experiments and tournaments that she would return with broken limbs and bandages all over herself but still managed to protect Yeona from anyone who tried to take her away from Mishil. Mishil would continue her short career fighting other orphan children in the prison until one day, when Yeona was taken for experimentation, Mishil was busy in a tournament handling one of the strongest orphan children. She made it out bloody and beaten but won, however when she returned to check on Yeona, she was nowhere to be found and went out to find her, only to be lead into a trap.

Walking in at that moment, one of Shining Generals then decided to use the two as test subjects together because of their strong relationship. Mishil and Yeona were then forced to be chained down, experimented on for a series of what felt like hours for two consecutive days, and then thrown back into their cellar. The sisters were unable to cope with what they endured as they laid on the ground. After a few years under their enslavement, the two narrowly managed to escape and found refuge in a small village just outside of the Diamond Kingdom where the sisters lived for the most of the lives until they became old enough to be mages.

After the sisters escaped, Mishil and Yeona were adopted by their foster parents, they were each given a piece of jewelry that once originally belonged to their parents before they died, jewelry they still wear to this day. After escaping from their traumatic past, Mishil's life was a happy one for a few years until the strain of war and the rebellion began to emotionally and psychologically affect her parents. Mishil's foster father was unable to provide for his family when it came to his position as a Shining Mage and barely interacted with his family. As for her foster mother, she began to abuse Mishil and Yeona, wanting them to become the "perfect angels," eventually locking them in a cage and timing everything they did, from sleeping to eating. Their mother went to the extreme, leaving the sisters to starve and at times force-feeding them inedible materials sometimes items that were deemed lethal that would have harmed them, although it is implied in the that Mishil and Yeona did this to survive. While their father objected to his wife's severe treatment of Mishil and Yeona, he did little to nothing to stop her.

Eventually, out of desperation, Mishil snapped and managed to imprison their parents in the cage as punishment something that Yeona was against but Mishil managed to suade her to understand what their foster parents put them through to make her change her mind. Riddled with the haunted memories of her past, Mishil unleashed her magic and slaughtered their foster parents with no remorse before looking back to Yeona advising they both run and never look back. After killing their foster parents, the sister would hide out in different abandoned homes until they were found by another family who took them in without no regard of what had happened to their last family.

By the age of 15, Mishil obtained her grimoire and tried out for the Diamond Kingdom's Shining Mage's trial which she managed to pass and was part of the Lapis Guild much to her surprise. After years of being a member of the Lapis Guild, Mishil would be promoted to Shining General of the Lapis Guild of the Diamond Kingdom. During her time as a Shining General, Mishil would meet her future husband Nikita Rudlof, whom she met when on a mission. She saved him during the rebellion of the Diamond Kingdom where he fell in love with her. For the next few years, Nikita would continue to visit Mishil until one day he was tasked on a mission with her where they bonded over their troubled past they would fall in love. Not after a year later the two would wed.
