Subin Lee

**Subin Lee (이수빈** *I Su-bin***)** is one of the main characters in the manhwa, *Eleceed.* She is the granddaughter of the head of Awakened Union. She is one of the most powerful awakened person in her age group in South Korea that is on par with Jisuk Yoo. Her main ability is Cryokinesis. She had attended the Awakened Academy as a student representative of Awakened Union.

## Background

Subin is the grandaughter of the Awakened Union's Leader. She has known Jisuk since as a child. She's one of the few awakened people in her age range that can match Jisuk, and is considered to be one of "The Four" most promising awakeners in South Korea.

A few years prior to the start of the series, Subin's parent's were betrayed by a friend and died in an unexplained accident. The same situation left her grandfather permanently injured and weakened, leaving Subin as the de facto heir to the Union's leadership. As such she has been put under extreme pressure and high expectations to become powerful and distanced from other Awakened Groups.

## Appearance

Subin has pale skin, short raven black-gray hair, black eyes and several piercings on her ears and lip. She is shorter than Wooin, Jisuk and Jiwoo. Her stature is quite slender and fit which she was first mistaken as a guy. Her school uniform consists of a yale blue color coat and skirt, with a white shirt underneath and a tie. Her academy uniform consists of a black jumpsuit with red trimming on the neck and edges.

For her casual wear, she has a very 'edgy' fashion style. Her main attire is a bit wacky according to 'Jisuk's friends'. It consists of a black and blue sweater that comes with a variety of patterns, dark blue leather pants and light blue sneakers. She can also be seen wearing a beige long coat with a black-grey gradient polo shirt underneath, viridian skinny pants and the same light blue sneakers.

## Personality

She has a short temper, but doesn't lay her hands on people for no reason. However, she tends to brawl with Jisuk and the smallest things tick her off. She is a very confident individual due to her high combat ability and is very proud to be in the Awakened Union as shown when she had a duel with Wooin just because he did not immediately accept Mr. Park's invitation to join the Union.

She has a more mischievous side to her. Despite getting into fights and arguing with Jisuk, the two have very similar personalities and get along both because of their similar traits and shared upbrinigng as two of the top four affiliated awakened rookies. The two tend to laugh at each other's expenses and also join together to pick on and tease others, such as Iseul and Gangseok. The two of them declare Subin was Jiwoo's boyfriend to tease Iseul about her crush on Jiwoo. They also tell Gangseok, who is eager to spar with Jiwoo, that he first needs to beat Sucheon, then Cain and Duke before fighting Jiwoo (ch. 170). However, she seems more emotionally sensitive than Jisuk, as she stops her ribbing quicker than Jisuk when she realizes she went too far teasing Iseul and even tries to make up excuses to get Iseul a chance to get closer to Jiwoo, though it tends to backfire.

She tends to be very suspicious of others. When Jiwoo was kind to her, she was very confused and wondered why a complete stranger would say hi to her. However she is also protective of her friends and enjoys spending time with them. When Jiwoo invited her to his house the day before they went to the academy, she agreed even though she didn't have to and didn't know him that well. Over time, she grows close to him. While she was at first unwilling to call him a friend, she eventually does grow to openly recognize him publicly as a close friend and seems to view him as a younger brother.

Despite her short temper, she is a loyal and steadfast friend. When Wooin is out of sorts, she shows immediate concern and helps him locate Dr. Delein, his mentor and father figure. She goes so far as to fight alongside Jisuk and Jiwoo against one of the Klein Brothers. She loves to fight but isn't stupid and knows how to utilize her abilities well. In addition, she isn't as quick to hold a grudge for a loss. During her first spar with Jiwoo, he manages to take her by surprise and land solid hits on her until she gets a bloody nose and bruises. Despite this, she is not angered in the slightest and understands it was because she let her guard down. She is very open, friendly and kind towards those she considers friends (especially Jiwoo and Iseul) though she tends to be rougher with Wooin and fights often with Jisuk and shows concern when any of them are hurt or depressed.

She can also recognize the dangers of being an Awakened and knows when she or the others have gotten over their heads. In the fight against one of the Klein Brothers, she disapproves of Jiwoo's plan because she is concerned it will harm Jiwoo though Jisuk assures her it will be fine and they have no choice. Additionally, in her fight against Duke Grant, as she is losing and Jiwoo steps in to save her, Subin is angry. However, she is not angry that Jiwoo interrupted the fight but because his core had just been repaired and he needed to rest. His interfering with the fight and using his powers could've severely injured or hurt him, and she was just concerned for her friend.

She is also very nice to cats. When Jisuk kicks her for stepping on a cat's tail, she immediately apologizes to the cat rather than get angry at Jisuk. She seems fond of them in general though doesn't play with them as much as Wooin does.

On a side note, she seems to have a slightly more romantic and girly side. She seems fond of handsome men, developing a mild crush on Kayden when she first meets him and developing one on Kartein and wondering which she should choose.

She also cannot handle spicy food as shown in chapters 189 to 190.
