Yeon Yihwa

Yeon Yihwa (연이화, Yeon Yihwa; or "Yun Eehwa") is a member of the Yeon Family one of the 10 Great Families. She is currently a Regular on the 21st Floor, participating in the tests.

Appearance and Personality
Yihwa is a tall, teenage girl, with straight black hair often held in place by her hairband which has the symbol of the Yeon Family on it. Yihwa appears to dislike being accused of being traitorous. Also, she's rather naive, drinking the drink offered to her without thinking twice and likely, she assumed no one would dare to harm a noble from a Great Family.

Lastly, she's generally a... hothead... Figures.

Tower of God: Part 2 - The Return of the Prince
She passed the Survival Round as a member of Prince's helpers, then came 3rd in the next test with a score of 22,384. This, even so being extremely high, apparently puts her to shame, as she missed. Apparently if she hit something with focus the strength could be immeasurable. Even though she can create strong flames, she seems to have poor control over her shinsoo, as she ended up burning and eliminating all her team mates(including Ja Wangnan) in her previous retry on the 20th floor. It seems to happen quite a lot and is likely, the main reason why she is stuck on the 20th floor. She is also rather clumsy, as can be seen during the Shinsoo challenge test where she kept tripping and nearly falling over.



In [http://towerofgod.wikia.com/wiki/Ch._89:_20F_-_Bath_(1)?action=edit&redlink=1 Ch. 89], she decided to try to team up with Viole in order to pass the test. After all, failing one more time would bring shame to her family. When she was done using him, she could eliminate him by seizing any openings. That way she could avoid being thrown out of the family for teaming up with an FUG member. So far she has, however, been extremely unsuccessful in getting close to Viole.

She seems to be quite proud of being a member of the Yeon Family as well as having a nice, appealing body (in her opinion). This last point is turning to be a running gag. In Ch. 88, she declared bluntly having a bigger chest than Ja Wangnan. In Ch. 90, she decided to eliminate Viole no later than during next test after hearing that he is not interested in her body. The gag here was she was absolutely furious because of the lack of interest Viole is showing to herself and her body and not because she was sharing a room with a male member of the infamous FUG! Basically, she didn't want to sleep with him but wanted him to desire her(or her body). Basically, she had her pride as a woman and believed she was superior to other females because she was a Great Family member. Hence, she expected to be desired and was furious when he bluntly dashed her expectations.

She also mistook Viole for a female and called him "Miss Grace", probably because she has only roomed with other females. However, she received a rude shock when "Miss Grace" walked into the spa section meant for Males.



She tried to stop Viole from attacking the other Regulars to get through, but her flames were easily stopped.

Later two regulars managed to control her, in that marionette state she released her flames which caused havoc around her and forced the Prince, who unknowingly helped those two, to run away from her to his room. Yihwa is forced to attack Horyang who showed up to Prince's room in order to rescue him, but she stopped once she was freed by Viole.

Yeon passed the 20th floor test after surviving Mule Love's challenge. She currrently believes that people from FUG are bad people who are not to be trusted; however, she is also one of Baam's teammates while knowing that he is a member of FUG.

Powers and Abilities
Her flames are revealed in Chapter 91 in the test "A Trustworthy Room" to be mostly a pinkish shade, as well as tinted with violet, blue, and sparks of white.

She claims her unrestrained flames are enough to cause the Rankers in her family trouble.
