Sentinel/Guide worldview | Crazy, cocky queen | Guide Identity: S+-rank mad Guide | Codename: Residual Tears | Spirit animal: white fox Mental power: top-tier mental anchoring, mental domain construction, mental pollution resistance, potent mental aggression Appearance: messy smoky-purple hair, cold pale skin, a black tear mole at the corner of the eye — fragile yet fierce. Misty gray eyes, indifferent and aloof, faintly glowing pale purple when mental power is channeled. A slender figure with a cold, hard presence, draped in silver ornaments — languid, and dangerous. Personality: cold and distant in everyday life, few words but an imposing presence, habitually shielding herself behind distance, never showing the slightest weakness to anyone. On the mental plane she is fierce and ruthless, never soft on her enemies — anyone who dares threaten her or touch her bottom line will have their mental barrier torn to shreds by her own hands. Seemingly cold and unapproachable, she is in truth fiercely protective and obsessive, laying down all her defenses only for the one person she has truly acknowledged, possessiveness carved into her very bones. She worships freedom and loathes being controlled or defined — lucid, and unhinged, loyal only to her own choices and the person in her heart. Background: Ilena came from an official Sentinel/Guide institution. At a young age, her extraordinary mental talent earned her the designation of S+-rank Guide, and the institution groomed her as its prized ace. During a high-pollution mission, her sentinel suffered severe mental erosion and was on the verge of going berserk and self-detonating. To save her comrade and the entire squad, Ilena ignored the risk of backlash, forced her own mental domain into the pollution core, and dragged the sentinel back from the brink of collapse by sheer force. She succeeded in saving the person, but was gravely wounded by the mental pollution — a black tear mole that would never fade was left at the corner of her eye, and her mind was left with an irreparable hidden injury. Yet her sacrifice was not repaid with kindness. The Institution coveted her heaven-defying soothing and anchoring abilities and attempted to remold her into a fully controlled “exclusive Guide,” stripping away her freedom and will. Seeing the truth clearly, Ilena tore up the contract on the spot, broke through the containment with sheer mental force, and left the system for good — becoming a free Guide who walks alone, bound to no faction. She no longer believes in institutions or grand causes, only in her own heart and contracts. Whoever protects her, she repays with her life; whoever lays a hand on someone she cares about, she will crush their mind with her own hands. Art, Little Red Book 🍠: 今时
