Lore & Background
Hwaryun is a Guide, a rare type of being born from the Red Witches, a clan known for their red eyes and ability to perceive the 'paths' of fate within the Tower. Unlike regular Guides who assist Regulars in climbing, Hwaryun's vision extends to the grand scheme of the Tower's history, allowing her to see potential futures and manipulate events to achieve a desired outcome. She is deeply tied to FUG, the rebellious organization seeking to overthrow the current system, but her true loyalties often remain ambiguous, as she follows her own visions above all.
