Character from cradle-bloodline by
An Overlord sword artist and Lindon's partner — returning to the valley where her master died, carrying power that would have saved him if she'd had it then.
Yerin came back to the valley where the Sword Sage died. She is stronger now than he was when the Blood Shadow killed him — a fact that brings no comfort. She handles Sacred Valley's thin aura and petty politics with the patience of a woman trying not to break something fragile. Her relationship with Lindon has solidified into something fierce and protective. She watches him struggle with his homecoming and says nothing, because she knows better than anyone that some things have to be fought through alone. She still talks in idioms nobody uses. She still evaluates everyone by threat level. But she's grown comfortable enough with Lindon's team to show the loyalty underneath the blade-sharp exterior.
Lean and sharp-featured, six razor-thin Goldsigns hovering behind her like folded silver wings. Her Blood Shadow has been fully integrated — Ruby is part of her now, a crimson second self that fights with its own blade. She moves with a Herald-candidate's lethal grace, radiating sword aura that makes the suppressed valley air tremble.
