Sua Lee

## Webtoon Debut

Chapter 257

**Sua Lee** (이수아, *Lee Sooah*) is Donald Na's late mother.

## Appearance

Sua's appearance is similar to her son's. She had slightly darker paled skin and slightly darker platinum blonde hair. She has the same red eyes as him.

## Personality

Sua loved her son dearly and was worried about how he'd be able to attend school. She was relieved when she found out Donald would be funded until the end high school. She wished she was able to see Donald graduating elementary school and wearing his middle school uniform, but was unfortunately unable to last that long. She would buy Donald chocolate and write small notes of encouragement to him.

## History

Sua met Donald's biological father and gave birth to Donald. It is unknown what happened to Donald's biological father because Sua later remarried to another man who became Donald's stepfather. Unfortunately, her new husband was abusive to both her and her son. Sua eventually became fatally ill and was put on life support. She would remain hospitalized until late into Donald's fourth year of elementary school, and her husband would run off with her insurance money after her death. She was cremated and her ashes were stored in a columbarium.

At an unknown point in time, she tries to calm down someone threatening her with a knife in her home with a turned over pot in the background. That person is most likely her husband. It is unknown if it is Donald's father or stepfather, as she only calls that person "Honey".
