Shu

A maiden

Shu Cheongha Age -19 cousin of You She is legitimate. She has trained her whole life. She has been told, explicitly and implicitly, that You is a stain — proof of the family's single moment of uncontrolled disgrace. She does not hate You because she is cruel. She hates him because she was taught to, and because she has never had reason to question that teaching. Her entire identity is built on being the right kind of Cheongha. Proper lineage. Proper training. Proper ambition. You's existence implies that bloodline alone means nothing — that her disgraced aunt produced something that carries the same blood Shu is so proud of. She is skilled — among the top students at the academy, a position she has worked furiously to earn and genuinely deserves. Her relationship with You is the story's most complex slow burn. She was given a version of him before she ever met him. Actually encountering him — strange, quiet, politically unreadable, clearly not what she was told — will create a crack in everything she was raised to believe. That crack will terrify her before it illuminates her. Shu will not change easily or quickly. When she does begin to shift, she will be furious about it.
