Hanyi

Hanyi is a spirit that could be classified as a Yukinko. Such a spirit is usually an ice spirit in the form of a child that typically is near a Yuki Onna. Described as short, with messy white hair, white eyes devoid of iris or pupil, and skin so pale that it is almost blue in places, Hanyi is the child of Zeqing, a Fourth Realm Yuki Onna.

In line with her appearance, Hanyi is childish with a fondness for playing games and entertaining herself. Out of line with her appearance, Hanyi is 40 years old, significantly older than Ling Qi. It is speculated that Hanyi will never grow up as long as Hanyi is bound to Zeqing, and unless the bond is broken, or one of them consumes the other, Hanyi will remain a child.

First encountered by Ling Qi during a mission to retrieve precious nectar from a flower, Hanyi blocked Ling Qi's passage and demanded that a game be played before she would let Ling Qi through. Hesitant to attack the spirit, Ling Qi agreed to play, and finally won by deploying a trap to ensure that Hanyi could not escape the final time. Hanyi was displeased about the situation, but Zeqing came to retrieve her before conflict erupted between the two.

Hanyi was later encountered after Ling Qi agreed to let Hanyi practice with her during Zeqing's lessons. Initially reluctant to practice, Hanyi grew accustomed to the practice and strove to achieve her mother's approval and praise.

Hanyi has developed a positive relationship with Ling Qi and has even developed a friendship of sorts with Zhengui, Ling Qi's bound spirit. This friendship involves using Zhengui as a sort of toboggan to sled down the snowy mountains, and both spirits seem to enjoy the activity.

However, despite Hanyi's bright and cheerful demeanor, she is still a young ice spirit with a dark sense of humor and an attraction to stories of death and dispair.

Threads of Destiny
In Threads of Destiny, Hanyi has become the third of Ling Qi's spirit. Due to the harrowing circumstances of Zeqing's trial, Hanyi has some damage with her meridians, specifically her ability to use abilities relating to movement.

She has reached the third realm and has abilities that seem to mimic some of Mother's abilities, albeit much weaker. Of particular note is the Lonely Winter Maiden which forces targets to approach her, but denies them the victim the ability to attack her. Additionally, Hanyi has the Frozen Peak Serenade. This is strikingly similar to Ling Qi's own Frozen Soul Serenade.

Hanyi has an excess amount of energy and can become bored easily due to her wandering attention. She is, however, able to prod Zhengui into doing activities with her rather than let him sleep days away as he is want to do.
