### Role

Main antagonist, main character

**Yeonhwa Baek** is the main character and antagonist of *White Angels Have No Wings* and the deuterogamist of *White Angels Get No Rest.* She stands out not just for her striking albinism but her chaotic and sadistic nature. In both stories, Yeonhwa's character is at the center of the narrative.

## Appearance

Yeonhwa's most notable feature is her albinism. She has white hair and pale white skin. Her eyes are typically colored greyish pink, pink, grey, or sometimes a pale red depending on the lighting. She has an athletic build and stands at an average height.

As a highschooler, Yeonhwa's hair is kept long and loosely parted in the middle. She wears multiple variations on her catholic school uniform. She's typically seen in a black form fitting long sleeve top. It's usually she worn under her white button up polo with a thin bow around the collar. Yeonhwa layers this with a black vest or a black track jacket. Like her classmates, she sports a knee high black pleated skirt for bottoms but sometimes track pants. As is custom in East Asia, slides are worn indoors, and shoes are worn outdoors. Outside of school Yeonhwa can be seen wearing neutrally colored athletic casual street wear. Sometimes she puts her hair up in a ponytail, as seen in a flashback.

At the start of *White Angels Get No Rest* her hair is short and bobbed. She carries her preference for athletic casual fits into adulthood. This includes track jackets and pants, baseball caps, T-shirts, sports bras, and sneakers. Her go to colors are black, white, and grey. At the packing facility she wore the standard hair bonnet, face mask, and apron. She wore a blue and white jumpsuit in the juvenile detention flashback. During Yeonhwa's living situation with Dahye, she wears little to no clothes with a hot pink dog collar which is later replaced by a sleeker black collar with a hanging gold pendent. At the end of the series, she is sporting an all-grey outfit of a long sleeve blouse, t-shirt, ankle high cuffed jeans, and sneakers.

## Personality and Traits

Yeonhwa is strongly characterized by her sadistic nature which is brought out by her desire to dominate others. This side of her is not always immediately apparent to those around her, as she keeps it reserved for certain people/circumstances. Yeonhwa is confident, laid back, adaptable, and manipulative. On top of that, she is rarely fazed by any situation, even when things don't go her way. This makes it incredibly hard for her enemies to get the upper hand on her and makes it easy for her to keep a few allies on her side. Outside of conflict, Yeonhwa is playful, relaxed, and self-restrained.

Yeonhwa's main edge is her exceptional strength. Even when outnumbered, she can overpower just about anyone. Due to this, she uses more direct tactics like assault and molestation to harm others compared to the rest of the characters. Manipulative tactics aren't beyond her, as she will skew the truth, black mail, and gas light others to maintain control. Yeonhwa's most perverse aspect is that she considers her motivation for sadism to be love. She is turned on by breaking down another person. As a teenager, she is driven impulsively by this and only holds back in special circumstances.

In high school, Yeonhwa keeps to herself except to intervene when the school bullies' antics pique her interest. She uses the excuse of "bullying other bullies" as an opportunity to justify her abuse towards them. Afterwards, Yeonhwa enjoys putting on a caring and friendly disposition towards the victims she rescued to keep them as companions. She is not above having favorites with her friends, as well as playing with their emotions. As a teenager, Yeonhwa shows little remorse for hurting others and is quite Machiavellian. But she is willingly accepting of the punishments/consequences for her actions.

As an adult in *White Angels Get No Rest*, Yeonhwa is more docile but is still quite carefree. She shows that she can maintain a conventional friendship and romantic relationship in the right environment. It is established further that Yeonhwa is naturally promiscuous and has a high sex drive. When not in a committed relationship, she will enjoy finding one-night stands at lesbian bars. When in a relationship, she eventually cheats or desires something more open. Yeonhwa is overall more controlled over when she suppresses and lets loose her sadistic side as an adult. Unlike her teenage self, she is capable of feeling remorse, is more self-aware, and more conscious of people. However, at the end of the day she will still do what she wants even if it involves undermining the desires of others or using manipulation.

## Background

Yeonhwa grew up on the coastal countryside with her younger sister. She used to be sickly and unable to spend much time in the direct sunlight thanks to her albinism. She never became accustomed to owning a mobile phone thanks to her old-fashioned rural lifestyle. Due to events in the story, Yeonhwa has been estranged from her immediate family, only in contact with her grandmother.
