**Yoo Iseol**, also known as the **Ice Sword Plum Blossom** (Hanja: 氷劍梅花, Hangul: 빙검매화) or **Moonlit Beauty** (Hanja: 月下佳人, Hangul: 월하가인), is a 2nd class disciple of the Mount Hua Sect, and the youngest of the Baek generation. Her father was a disciple who abandoned the sect and tried to restore the lost Plum Blossom Sword Technique.[?]

The official English translation uses **Iseol Yu**. On the wiki we use **Yoo Iseol** for consistency.

## Appearance

Yoo Iseol has long black hair, pale violet eyes that are not that big and fair skin. She's tall, making her a little intimidating. She is described as the most beautiful woman in Shaanxi. She gives off a slightly neutral impression due to her expressionless face and slanted eyes. She left her hair be until it reached her waist, signifying how little she cares for appearance. Tang Soso forces her to manage it though, before it becomes a birds' nest.[?]

As a 2nd ranked disciple in Mount Hua Sect, she wore a black gown with the sect's pink symbol on the upper right of her chest. Later she switches to a white uniform.[?]

> A moonlit beauty... how poetic... Her movements are gentle yet powerful, flashy yet elegant... Her sword strokes are delicate, but unwavering. It resembles Mount Hua's [old martial art] style. (Cheongmyeong)
>

Cheongmyeong describes her as a rare beauty, which he has not often seen even in his 80 years, and is stunning enough to overwhelm youngsters into acting foolishly.

## Personality

Yoo Iseol is determined and fearless in improving her arts. She does not talk much and is serious when learning new techniques and training. She has great aspirations in learning the Plum Blossom Sword Technique and is diligent in training. In the beginning, Yoo Iseol kept on bothering Cheongmyeong to teach her what she thought was the Plum Blossom Sword Technique. Cheongmyeong thinks of her as an annoying senior, while the rest of the sect perceives her as an inapproachable cold beauty.[?] Perhaps because of her looks, she does not get into arguments often and is untrained in rhethorics, and can be a little ditzy.

She tends to march to the beat of her own drum. Normally, she likely ignores other guys, as all the Baek disciples are shocked when they saw her take the initiative to talk to Cheongmyeong.

## Background

She is first seen at the Falling Petals Peak practicing the Sword of The Yue Maiden technique
.[?]

## Abilities

Iseol's style resembles Mount Hua's old martial arts style. Cheongmyeong described her movements as "gentle yet powerful, flashy yet elegant. Her swordstrokes are delicate, but unwavering."

Despite her looks, her presence feels weirdly faint, almost non-discernable, even while standing in front of her. She may have trained some kind of stealth technique.
