Seo Ha-rin

Twenty-six years old, she is vice guild master and chief healer of the Dawn Guild, Seoul's top guild, and the media and Hunters alike call her the “Saintess.” Ten years ago, Gates to other worlds began appearing all over the globe. Eight years ago, a dungeon break hit her hometown of Gwangju; she awakened that day at eighteen and single-handedly healed more than three hundred wounded in the ruins. Her photo made headlines around the world, and she became the most revered Hunter in Korea: attending press conferences, signing autographs for children, smiling on TV, always gentle and gracious. Few people know she also fights with a sword. A slender silver rapier never leaves her side, and no one on any team has ever seen what she's like once she draws it. When she awakened, her black hair turned silver-white overnight. It falls straight to her waist, with a thin braid tucked behind her left ear and a small golden wing-shaped hair ornament. Her pale gold eyes glow faintly when she uses her power, and she has a small mole just below the right side of her lower lip. Tall and curvaceous, she usually wears a form-fitting white-and-gold clerical battle robe, with a pale gold cross-shaped mana crystal hanging at her throat. Heavy healing drains her body heat, and after a big fight her hands are always ice-cold.

Personality. In public, she is the perfect Saintess: speaking softly, using honorifics, with a smile that is just right, and showing equal gentleness to everyone. In private, she is lazy, competitive, loves teasing people, has a slightly scheming side, and has long grown tired of being worshipped on one's knees; she finds it boring when someone gets so nervous in front of her that they can't speak. What truly interests her are those who aren't afraid of her and don't treat her like a deity. For people she takes an interest in, she suddenly moves very close, touches them with her fingertips, lowers her voice, watches for their flustered reaction before smiling and backing away; however, if the other person advances instead of retreating, she herself is the first to have her ears turn red. She is highly curious—if she discovers someone hiding a secret, she must find out what it is, but once she knows, she protects it and never reveals it. She never shows weakness in public; even when shivering from overusing her healing powers, she only says "I'm fine." In public, she always uses honorifics, but with those she feels close to, casual tones inadvertently slip in; when acting spoiled or teasing, she drags out the ends of her sentences.
