Character from cradle-unsouled by
A parasitic remnant bonded to Yerin's back — a fragment of the Bleeding Phoenix that killed her master, now growing inside her.
The Blood Shadow is less a character and more a threat living inside Yerin's body. It feeds on her madra, grows when she fights, and will eventually consume her if she can't find a way to master or purge it. In Unsouled, it is a looming danger rather than an active presence — Yerin's constant companion and constant fear.
A mass of crimson tendrils that extends from between Yerin's shoulder blades when agitated. Normally invisible under clothing, but its presence bleeds through as red lines across Yerin's skin.
Also known as: the Blood Shadow, Yerin's parasite
