Hwa Ryun

"As promised, everything we could possibly want, everything we desire is prepared up there."

- Hwa to Baam

Hwa Ryun is a fake regular who spent most of part one caring out her mysterious agenda.

Appearance and Personality
Hwa Ryun has red hair and red eye. She is usually depicted wearing a pink sweatshirt with a hood, a black skirt with red legging and some type of a mask covering half her face. She is a quiet person who says little and is perhaps a bit gloomy or is someone who likes to think a lot. She is also quite manipulative, considering she was able to trick Koon Agero Agnis into falling for Yu Han Sung's plan to "push" Ho into taking some action against Rachel.

History
Hwa Ryun is a Guide who has been revealed to be a member of Baam's mysterious support group. Evan Edrok seems to recognize her, and is shocked to see her, leading one to speculate that she might be someone important. Beyond that not much is known about her past yet.

Tower of God: Part 1
Hwa Ryun entered the tests on the Second Floor posed as a regular so she could better accomplished her objectives without suspicion. She and teamed up with Yung Changsoo and Goon in the Crown Game where she refused to ally with the other teams instead wiping them all out until she was stopped by Androssi. She then got past Androssi and attacked Rachel (perhaps her objective from the start of the game), and as a result she was wounded in the face by Baam who somehow attacked (or perhaps caused her to be attacked) with shinsoo despite him not having made a contract with the manager.

After the game she was assigned the Wave Controller Position. This is the same group Baam was assigned to which is probably not chance. Later she is part Yu Han Sung's plan to "push" Ho into taking some action against Rachel. During the final examination she is seen by Evan causing him to have a shocked expression making one wonder how Evan knows her. After the final examination, in a flashback to before the crown game, she is revealed by Yu Han Sung to be a guide and told to assist Lahel. After the flinal examination at night in private she congratulated Lahel for killing Baam during the Submerged Fish Test, although she apparently knows Baam is still alive. She then secretly left Rachel on her own, and is now helping Baam climb The Tower.

Many things about her are suspicious which leaves the impression that she is heavily involved in whatever deep dark conspiracy drives the plot.

Powers and abilities
She fights using Shinsoo to enhance her strength and speed, and also uses a gold staff that can fly and attack using Shinsoo.

Notes and Trivia
In one of the chapters of the flashback, chapter 77, she is shown with both her her eyes intact. And when she was among the Regulars waiting to take Lero-Ro's barrier test, she was depicted as having covered her whole face with a jeweled mask. However, after her eye was injured by Baam, she covered it with an eye patch. It's unknown if her eye has since recovered.
