Bai Winchester

**Bai Winchester** (파이 윈체스터) is a Wildhüter Closer that wields the Ice Blade, which is imbued with the power of a dimensional monster. Bai threw herself into the UNION because of a certain incident, and fights dimensional monsters based on her beliefs and in order to save someone precious.

## Background

After a tragic accident that left her twin sister suspended in time, Bai Winchester assumed her family's legacy —and curse— of wielding the mystical Ice Blade. Haunted by her personal tragedy, she vowed use her powers only in the defense of others, and not give in to the blade’s murderous impulses.

Reluctantly agreeing to join UNION's Wildhüter team as an instructor, she fights a constant battle between duty and instinct, hoping she can control the Ice Blade long enough to both free her sister from her timeless slumber, and free her family of its influence by destroying the blade forever.

## Trivia

* Bai's Chinese name is 白, which translate to "White".
	+ The Blade of the Ice also has the Chinese character 白 engraved on it.
		- Bai's sister; Xue, Chinese name is 雪, which translates to "Snow". When both names are put together, it would spell out "Snow White".
* Bai's clan thought of passing skills down their descendants more than anything, so it didn't matter for them to keep their last name throughout. And therefore, her clan didn't even hesitate from bringing outsiders in, if the outsider was strong and competent enough, because that would mean that they would be giving birth to stronger descendants.
	+ Bai's name changed from her grandfather's line, when apparently they brought in a Westerner, and followed the Westerner's last name.
