Kwon Shiyeon (권시연, Gwon shi-yeon) is the tritagonist of The Gamer and a High School student who transferred into the 2nd Year Class 8. She is currently in the 3rd year Class 8. She hails from the Yeon Hon Guild and is currently a member in The Players.
Appearance[]
Shiyeon is a young, tall, girl with long red hair that is always tied up in a ponytail, but she has a fringe and two streams of hair that frame her face. Her initial outfit consists of a white buttoned t-shirt with a flicked up collar which is surrounded by a loose orange tie and she also has two red fingerless gloves and a brown knee-length skirt. Her school uniform is a buttoned blue shirt with a long overlapping collar, a short bright red tie, and a black skirt. The school uniform is the main outfit she adorns but during her casual hours, she's been seen with a light red and white short-sleeved jacket and orange training short-shorts.
Personality[]
She tends to be very forgetful since after saying she would remember Jihan's face a few days later she completely forgot about him. Every time she sees Hwan Seongon in class she gets angry, this animosity is also generated towards Hwan Seonga. It's hard to say what she's like in school, as she seems to sleep through lunch break but otherwise seems to follow lectures just fine.
She doesn’t like being in debt, and she often makes up reasons for why she should payback. Jihan does the most favors for her and doesn’t ask for anything in return, (except for skill books). Jihan, tired of having to argue over debt with her every time, then explains that he does it because she's his friend. This surprises her.
Later on, She displays a very subtle love interest for Jihan, starting to trust him more than anyone, and getting extremely angry/jealous (sometimes possessive of him) when he interacts with other females only somewhat romantically.
History[]
In episode 2 she was seen fighting Hwan Seongon, but it wasn't revealed as to how they started verbally fighting.
In episode 12 she transferred to Jihan's school and classroom for family reasons. Jihan was unhappy to see her. In episode 13: Do Kihyun ordered her to sit at an empty seat in the back row and she obeyed. As she was walking she glanced at him and didn't seem to be surprised to see him.
In the Church of Masks Arc, Shiyeon manages to defeat her mother, the leader of her clan, as well as support Jihan.
At the end of the Tree of Life Arc, Shiyeon is now ranked part of the Heavenly Thousand, probably higher than any person ever in the history of the Yeon Hon Guild.
Plot[]
Training Arc[]
The Quest Above My Head[]
Shiyeon is suddenly attacked by Hwan Seongon when Han Jihan stumbles into their Illusion Barrier where their battle was taking place. Sung-Gon uses his 3-Headed Wolf to attack her but she manages to hold her own against it. After watching her fight, Sung-Gon describes the Yunhon Martial Arts style but Shiyeon dismisses this and asks him why he attacked her. He questions why himself but he reveals he wants to test her skills in order to prepare for what is about to happen. This bewilders her and as she asks him what he meant, Sung-Gon silences her mid-sentence and tells her to communicate with actions instead of words. Sung-Gon orders his canine to strike but Shiyeon lights her body on fire and clashes with it head-on. Both the canine and Shiyeon bounce back from the attack but Sung-Gon forces her to not run away by threatening a vulnerable Jihan's life. Sung-Gon summons the Black Slime and states that it won't be any trouble for Shiyeon to deal with it but Jihan could die. Shiyeon is angered by this and while lighting her hands aflame, she calls him a coward but asks if he intentionally brought a civilian in. Sung-Gon reassures her that if she fought with her full strength, the young man won't be harmed and clears up the confusion on Jihan, revealing that he involved himself. Shiyeon doesn't believe this but Sung-Gun questions why he would lie although he acknowledges that it was weird how a civilian got into the Illusion Barrier. Sung-Gon tells her to come at him but warns that she'll die if she betrays his expectations. The canine blows a surge of flames at her but she knocks this away with her bare hands and jumps up at him while stopping right in front of its face. She punches one of the beast's heads, knocking it back and she uses this advantage to hammer him in the stomach which defeats him.
A layer of Black Slime slides towards Shiyeon which annoys her into using the first skill of Soul Blaze Fist, Soul Blaze Flame. Her surrounding becomes engulfed by oranges flames and begins to turn blue, starting from the area around her hands. Just as this happens the Black Slime encases her into a ball. The slime bubbles up from the heat and explodes leaving Shiyeon completely unharmed and standing in her previous position. Sung-Gon is glad to see her unleash her power and decides her limits, summoning a large magic circle to bring out a Giant Mantis. Shiyeon manages to push the mantis back by kicking its chest and kills it with a single punch with her blue flame right through its belly while showing no signs of strain.
Shiyeon appears before Jihan surprising him. When he takes a few steps back she approaches him and asks for his identity. Jihan is puzzled by the question but Shiyeon states an ordinary person couldn't have defeated the Black Slime and asks how he did it. Jihan rebuffs asking why she's interrogating a guy who almost died, leaving Shiyeon out of words. He offers a deal to take turns asking which she accepts but asks first who he was which he answers in detail. She comments on how he looked pretty dumb even though he had a special power and after looking him over, she states that she has memorized his name and face. Shiyeon proceeds run off without answering Jihan's question.
Shout My Name![]
Shiyeon is welcomed into Year 2 Class 8, Jihan's class, by Do Kihyun after she transferred to the school due to supposed family problems. She introduces herself after the teacher tells her to do so and she bows while explaining the reason for her transfer. She is directed to sit two seats directly behind Jihan at the back of the class and when she walked past Jihan, they momentarily had eye-contact but she didn't pay him any extra attention. During the first-period break, nobody showed any interest in her aside from Jihan, which was weird since she's a transfer student with good looks, but Jihan guessed she's using a special power or charm. Throughout all the period breaks she stares out the window. When Sung-Gon enters the class as the replacement Chemistry teacher, Shiyeon glares at him with a blood-thirsty glare.
I Need More Skills![]
As Jihan walks away after training in one of Sung-Gon's Illusion Barriers she tells him to stop. Her presence surprises Jihan and she recounts Jihan's full name and school class. To avoid suspicion, she asks if her name was Kwon Shiyeon which she confirms and when he asks if this was the first time they talked, she replies "yeah" again. She walks towards Jihan and questions what his relations are to Cheon Bu Guild and Sung-Gon. Annoyed that she's questioning him again, he redirects to another question and asks if she's seen him before she transferred to the school. Shiyeon inquires why he was asking this to which he reveals that he's seen her before. She denies this, stating that they haven't met before but Jihan reminds her of the time she first battled Sung-Gon. Shiyeon finally recognizes Jihan as the hostage back then which he confirms and he also adds that he's not related to Sung-Gon but he's slightly close to Cheon Bu Guild because of Shin Seonil, his childhood friend. Satisfied with the response, Shiyeon tells him she'll remember his face but Jihan tells her that she's said that before but when she states that she can't remember it, Jihan loudly questions what is in her head. She dismisses this and firmly says that she'll remember it for sure this time. She tells the Gamer that she'll be watching him and orders him to stay away from Sung-Gon while running off in the distance.
Let's Find a Party[]
As Sung-Gon was directly teaching Jihan, Shiyeon stares at Jihan deeply enough for Jihan to notice even with his back turned to her. As there's a lunch break, she sits cross-armed while napping at her desk.
Get Into Gear[]
Immediately after the bell rang, Shiyeon uses her Time-Freeze Illusion Barrier and approaches Jihan, telling him she has something to ask him. Jihan wonders what it was and if she was the cause of everyone freezing. Shiyeon admits that it's easier to talk in an Illusion Barrier and invites Jihan to talk elsewhere. Following her up the stairs, Jihan questions why they couldn't talk where they were before but Shiyeon reveals it's common sense that Time-Freeze Illusion Barriers don't last long and questions if Jihan knew this but he revealed he didn't since he hasn't been in the Abyss for long. Shiyeon tells him it's a good thing he knows now just as they arrive on the school's roof. Jihan tells Shiyeon to hurry up, triggering her into asking if he knew why Sung-Gon was collecting Soul Stones, Jihan replies that he's unaware of the reason. Just to confirm this, she repeats the question but Jihan rejects this and questions her how she expected him to know. Shiyeon states that she's seen Jihan enter his Illusion Barriers a lot recently although he admits that it was inevitable. She recounts the time he went in during the night but Jihan snarls back that it was for training. Shiyeon ponders over this but understands his reasons behind entering them. Before leaving, she warns him not to enter Sung-Gon's Illusion Barriers anymore since they'll be destroyed soon.
Only Through Effort Will You Gain the Fortitude to Walk Down Your Own Path[]
Shiyeon arrives early to school even earlier than Jihan, but by the time Jihan enters the classroom, she's already napping and does so until school starts. When Seonga is introduced into the class and directed to her seat, Shiyeon glares at her with a fiery rage.
