**Isao Jeong**, a.k.a, "***Yi Sao Zheng***," is an important minor supporting character in "***Burning Hell***." A daughter of a noble class in the Qing Dynasty, she was kidnaped by Captain McMahon in order to start a war between the Qing Dynasty and the British Empire.

## Appearance

A beautiful and yet cute girl with black hair that is in pig tails and a roundish face. Her body is rather slender and her beauty is like porcelain. Her outfit is not Chinese as it is a frilly, light color dress that reveals a decent amount of her upper body and breasts. The upper ends and her shoulder strap are frilly.

## Personality

   Isao appears to be an innocent girl full of optimism and compassionate. However she is quite oblivious and airheaded throughout dangers and what is going on. She also seems to be quite defenseless as she is easily vulnerable during battle. However, this is a persona and deceptive part from Isao. Although her true personality is limited, it would seem is is the opposite of what was shown. She is very confident and is a risk taker but her compassion is likely true as she seems to want to defend and save the Qing Dynasty. Lastly, she is likely to be deceptive; using her body and a fake persona of a innocents girl to deceive those around her if necessary.

## Background

A royal princess of a noble family in China during the Qing dynasty. Her background is unknown but she at some point became a pirate captain with her own crew. Sometime during the start of the opium war, she was kidnapped by the ones who started, the Karvan Pirates.

## Plot Overview

### Battle At Burning Hell

After being captured, she was placed in the dungeons of the pirate ship and stay there until they reached Burning Hell. After, she hears commotion outside by then silence fell. Then as she waits, Han Kim approached from the shadows. She converse with him asking if he was the one responsible for what was happening outside. However, they didn't understand each other but explains who she was anyways. She did understand one thing and explains how old she was. Excited, she first thanks him but he was planning to kill her right there but stopped as she reminded him of his sister. As he groans from the painful memory, she ask what was wrong but the ship was rocked hard.

They went upwards to the deck as they met up with Jyu. McMahon, seeing Isao's release, enraged and grabs her using his appendages. As she was in peril and clothes were rip, she screams in panic but Han quickly saves her. She was to retreat with Jyu but he stays and coordinates with Han to kill McMahon. During the battle, Isao finds that their coordination and attacks are like two mystical dragons in unison. After McMahon was killed and the ship scuttled, she was with the two criminals and thanks them for saving her. However, they fought against each other again to see who will take her but Isao misunderstood and finds it how they were able to communicate despite not understanding each other intriguing.

At a unknown period time, presumably after they escape the island, in the grasslands, a pirate subordinate ask her if it was a good idea if they would recruit Jyu and Han Kim. Revealing to be a pirate captain, she was at no worries as she believes they are quite needed in stopping an unknown danger (presumably of the opium war).

## Abilities

It is unknown what are her abilities are as she had not shown any in the webtoon. It is presume she has some sort of skill as she is pirate captain such as leadership and swordsman ship.

## Trivia

* Interestingly in the original, Isao was a completely different person:
	+ She was originally Caucasian instead of Asian, as the Britain Princess named, "Catherin Gregory." Her hair was blond instead of black as well.
	+ Originally a demonic sacrifice instead of just a captive to be killed to incentivize war between China and Britain.
* There is likely a minor error as she is seen wearing a western dress which is not what Chinese female royalty wears.
* Isao Jeong was originally to be part of the Superstring Team along with Jyu, with her own official illustrations and appearing on the Ylab website. For unknown reason, she was removed and only Jyu remains.
	+ However, if she does appear again in a cross over, she may dress similarly to her illustrations that is heavily changed.
* Isao Jeong is a real life person. In history, she is a Chinese pirate leader who was active during 1801 to 1810. She was known for defeating a portion of the Qing Dynasty's navy and creating the pirate code.
* in the Super String Mobile Game, every named Burning Hell character appears except for Isao.
	+ However, she was apparently to be a character model but only her concept art is revealed. it is quite similar to her official art.
