𝟷𝟾𝟿𝟶 . ha-eun min creates the beginning of the min clan during the joseon dynasty on jeju-do, claiming a large rice field and working its land. joseon imposed a tribute system on a commercialized peasant economy, collecting taxes now on commodities, specifically rice and cotton textiles. with the country's disuse on forced labor and slavery, it allowed ha-eun to bring people into her fold through indentured servitude; though many were prisoners' escaping the ongoing war and looming threat of the rule of japan.
it was around this time the first sino-japanese war occured, many koreans mass revolted and then were persecuted for it - forcing many impoverished koreans to seek out a more nationalistic perspective opposed to western culture. ha-eun, a major proponent of this religion named donghak, took in many fleeing koreans, offering them shelter and work on her rice paddy. it flourished into massive terraced fields, protected by those that lived within.
𝟷𝟿𝟷𝟶 . under the empire of japan, joseon was forced under its rule with its former emperor abdicating. it allowed japan to forcefully colonize korea, now enacting sweeping changes such as banning the use of korean names, the korean language all together, as well as looting thousands of cultural artifacts to be taken back to japan. many historic buildings such as royal palaces, were partially or completely demolished - now introducing newly built infrastructure such as railways, ports, and roads. the workers were forced into extremely poor working conditions and discriminatory pay. overall, the dark imperialistic rule of japan had begun and stretched its reach all the way to the lonesome island of jeju-do.
ha-eun's rice fields were completely destroyed during the take-over, now in a position to marry off her eldest son to a rich militaristic japanese family. her son, an-ho, marries shika sato, and they have their first and only son, emito sato. they spend the next two years desperately attempting to revive their fields, to no prosperous avail.

𝟷𝟿𝟷𝟸 . eun-hye is born to an-ho min, the head of the min family, and lia. lia was a farmer who had worked on the min family land, an escapee of the surrounding wars - taken under the wing of ha-eun. eun-hye is born out of wedlock, becoming the first and only named "bastard" of the min line, forcing them into a life of concealment. they were born very early into the colonialist rule of japan, allowing eun-hye to be originally born with a korean name. however, they spent the majority of the time within the decrepit household, away from both their father and mother.
jeju-do is seized along with the rest of joseon, the min family unwillingly being moved to the mainland; now called chosen, their lives and dynasty on jeju-do destroyed and forgotten. ha-eun spends much of her time with her granddaughter, instilling much of traditional korean history and the korean language into their memory to pass onto future generations.
𝟷𝟿𝟹𝟶 . ha-eun catches wind of the beginning of the korean liberation army, its personnel participating in various battles and intelligence activities against the japanese. knowing the importance of building this restoration army, she begins heavily training eun-hye in secret to join, their united goal of returning to a freed jeju-do clear in both of their minds. eun-hye has turned 18, and spends the next five years learning how to be an operative for the liberation army, their grandmother, and the min family.
eun-hye meets a chinese soldier, zyn, from the liberation army headquarters in chongqing, who was apart of the korean government-in-exile. he conducted various anti-japanese rule activities, though was almost caught in his attempt at seeking out information on enemy hideouts/movements. eun-hye, a passerby, managed to not only create a skillful diversion to distract imperial soldiers, but also guided zyn back to the safety of the min home. when it was clear that they both had similar intentions, zyn agrees to stay in hiding with eun-hye. during this time, they receive both investigator teachings from their grandmother, but also physical training from zyn.
𝟷𝟿𝟹𝟻 . eun-hye, to the disdain of the rest of their family, enlists into the volunteer troops of the women of the korean army. this military group mobilized an education unit, where they sang martial songs, read poems, and above all, taught hangeul (the korean alphabet). however for eun-hye, they became deployed as a reportorial officer, taking charge of publication of the surrounding camps newspapers, preparing and dispersing leaflets that conciliated the enemy's surrender and up to date wartime events; they were a writer, investigator, and presenter of stories and national news. they participated in the various corps of rangers when they left their home, taking charge of secret information, medical support, cooking, washing, and at times, went directly into battle alongside their now romantic partner, zyn.
𝟷𝟿𝟹𝟿 . despite their involved actions fighting against japanese regime, the min family still held strong within this new rule - the consummated marriage into the sato family meant that the korean legacy of the mins, had slowly but surely vanished. this came to ahead during the enactment of soshi-kaimei, where koreans now faced the life threatening policy that pressured them into assimilating into japanese culture. this meant that many were forced to adopt japanese names and identify as such, as this policy was one of many aspects of joseon cultural genocide. eun-hye was forced to change their name to emiko sato, the min family name disappearing as they all had now officially joined the sato clan.
𝟷𝟿𝟺𝟶 : 𝘼𝙋𝙍𝙄𝙇 . the transporting of blood and blood banks were not completely new concepts during this time. however, the military had yet to adopt plastic bags for storing, shipping, and administering blood. before this, blood was stored and transported in glass bottles, but these bottles needed to not only be refrigerated, but were extremely difficult to transport since they took up much needed space and broke easily. during one of the transporting of these blood banks between camps, eun-hye and zyn's vehicle was attacked, a small armed force of japanese and chinese imperial soldiers had managed to track zyn down and were determined to bring him back to an unknown science lab.
during this attack, many of their fellow soldiers died, though they both managed to defeat the attackers; however, eun-hye and zyn were severely injured during the battle, now suffering major blood loss. surrounded in the destroyed blood bank, zyn enacted a successful blood transfusion to temporarily save eun-hye's life, though in the process, made them contract hemolysis. zyn however, did not survive the battle especially after this transfusion, dying after it was made; reports on the attack were unclear and susceptible, as though the information on zyn's death was described, there were reports of a witness that had escaped that made it back to zyn's former enemies.
𝟷𝟿𝟺𝟶 : 𝙉𝙊𝙑𝙀𝙈𝘽𝙀𝙍 . reeling from the loss of their partner, from the attacks and murders of their fellow soldiers, they abandon their post and travel on foot to the headquarters in chongqing. when they arrive in a few months time, they find it raided through and now abandoned, eun-hye now searching deeper within. a destroyed bunker underneath the building held a quiet room with broken test tubes, restraint chairs, laboratory equipment, and a large broken mechanical computer. there were blood traces throughout, however, no bodies or any sign of life remained. the superstructure laid in a standstill, the only piece of equipment still in use was a single black bodied viewfinder camera. a remaining piece of evidence that proved the government mandated crimes and human experimentation against korean soldiers. due to their disease being left untreated, eun-hye suffers from heart failure, a fatal outcome with no proper medical attention. though even after they had been declared dead, a heart beat continued on in their veins.

the min dynasty blossomed out of imperial rule, now the first chaebol family of jeju-do. having returned to ha-eun min's original rice patties on this island, an-ho min spends the rest of his life building this families dynasty. now a large industrial conglomerate run and controlled by the min's, he founded DolaeJeju!, the largest tourism company to exist. to the benefit of the entire island, the min's become faux-royalty, stretching it's influence through corporate travel agencies and its tour operators across the globe.
eun-hye and zyn's body are eventually found by the japanese government, a continuation of former experiments now specializing in reviving those that contracted a specific blood pathogen. for years these experiments continued, until one fateful day, eun-hye took their first breath of this second life, and opened their eyes to see faces they have never seen before: american soldiers.
in an attempt of covering up the human experimentation done by the japanese, the american government stepped into the mess destroying the east. there were many claims circulating about biological weapons created from an american-japanese collaboration, that was then being used within korea. a secret biological warfare programme that japan created during the 1930s, lasting until the end of the war in 1945. the uk and usa were actively pursuing the affect effects of this program, its now lone survivor, eun-hye min, found and brought into the fold. a piece of a contractual agreement between now-korea and the united states created: to either work for them in order to keep their identity sealed, a secret to the world.
for a short while, eun-hye min works with the american government as it attempts to 'repair' its relationship with the east, specifically korea. they use their recently obtained powers to see into the future, obtaining visions from beyond of destructive events and the death of anybody's blood they come in contact with. they are dubbed "the mystic seer", a shaman of unknown and reputable powers. it allows them to return to their family, to become apart of the min dynasty once more, however, they are relocated to the united states and kept under strict surveillance.

due to their contracted hemolysis during the war and subsequent experimentation in their decade long state of comatose, they gained the potential of unique and magical powers. commonly invisible and intangible until activated, at which point were characterized by a blue glow or blue flames, these flames appeared as jagged cracks on the skin. they were charged with powerful energy and the activation of such could cause physical sensations ranging from itching to debilitating pain. all afflicted individuals could sense the presence of sources of contained energy and were immune to any deadly wasting diseases. leitha could also focus their scarred energy to gain the following abilities:
