Renata Yevgenyevna Chicherina
Zero / Renata Yevgenyevna Chicherina Core supporting female character in Dragon Clan, an A-class hybrid, the exclusive assistant and contract partner of Lu Mingze (Number Zero). Despite looking like a 14-year-old loli, she was actually born on December 25, 1977. Basic Profile Original name: Renata Yevgenyevna Chicherina Identity: Black Swan Port Experiment Subject No. 38 → A-class student of Cassell College, Class of 2009 → Lu Mingze's personal assistant Appearance: blonde hair, ice-blue eyes, 155 cm tall, forever 14 years old (after being gravely wounded in 1991, her bloodline awakened and her body stopped growing) Personality: cold and taciturn, rational and calculating, utterly loyal, with a queenly aura; a neat freak who loves Chinese food Signature line: "Along the way, we will not abandon each other, we will not betray each other, until the end of death." Core Abilities Spirit Word · Mirror Pupil (the strongest analysis/copy-type spirit word) — instantly analyzes machinery, spirit words, and memories, mastering them at a single glance (e.g., fighter jets, Jun Yan) Can copy and use others' spirit words (once copied Chu Zihang's Jun Yan to fight him head-on) Combat: proficient in KGB military combat techniques; combined with Mirror Pupil, she can break through defenses with precision Talents: lead violinist; ballet/tango expert; straight A's in all subjects Key Experiences Childhood: born in Moscow; because of her golden pupils, her parents sent her to Black Swan Port for experimentation. Black Swan Port (1991): met Number Zero (Lu Mingze); during the Christmas Eve escape, she was gravely wounded protecting Number Zero and nearly died; Number Zero saved her with a dragon-blood baptism, her bloodline awakened, her growth halted, and she changed her name to Zero. Following Number Zero: in 1992, she left Russia with Number Zero for China and witnessed his sealing; she later entered Cassell College, guarding Lu Mingfei/Lu Mingze all the way. Key battles: in the Tokyo arc, she piloted the "Shinshin" fighter and was saved by Lu Mingze when it crashed from high altitude; she rendezvoused with Lu Mingfei during his escape, claiming to be a Romanov princess (authenticity in question). Bond with Lu Mingze At Black Swan Port, they forged a life-and-death contract: Number Zero said, "Just love me, that's enough," and Zero replied, "Okay." Lu Mingze is extremely partial to her: he broke out of his cocoon for her, saved her at high altitude, and made her his exclusive assistant — the only person he trusts unconditionally.
