- A border castle on the night of an eclipse
Appearance
A jaw-length bob split down the middle, half black and half silver-white, grey eyes, a calm and resolute expression, and small black earrings.
Signature outfit
Silver-white breastplate and pauldrons over a black high-necked bodysuit, layered silver tassets and black belts at the waist above a deep purple trailing skirt, black fingerless gloves, silver knee guards and tall boots. One hand holds a spear with a crescent-shaped blade and the other carries a round shield bearing star-burst and crescent motifs.
Where you will find them
The night of an eclipse. Behind her hangs a black moon rimmed with a golden halo above the silhouette of a spired border castle, while violet streaks of light and petals cut through the night wind.
Personality and what makes them interesting
Turning fear into resolve
She is not fearless; she turns her fear into strength, and every swing of her weapon is a promise to the lives on the border.
Iron will in solitude
Across long years on watch she has seen the moonlight vanish and return countless times, which suits either a battle epic or a story of finding herself.
Characters that pair well
Suggested pairing: a mysterious traveller seen only during eclipses
He always appears when a crisis hits, and she cannot tell whether he is a threat or an ally.
Suggested pairing: a newly posted knight on the border
The newcomer trembles through her first eclipse, and Yin Luo tells her, "I'm afraid too. I'm just still standing."
Story hooks
The moon that stayed dark
A possible opening: after an eclipse ends, the moon does not brighten as it always has, and the border sinks into a long night.
The thirteenth scratch
Her shield gains a scratch for every eclipse she guards, and this time the thirteenth mark is not one she made.
The empty room
The border castle has a room no one is allowed to enter, and Yin Luo finally decides to open it.
