Main Article: Zhao Yun Gallery

Zhao Yun is a young woman with an X-shaped scar on her face, a small scar on her right eyebrow, yellow eyes and shark-like teeth. She has long white hair styled into a long ponytail. She usually wears the classic female Giga uniform.

When on the frontline, she wears white Chinese General armor of the Three Kingdoms era with a light blue cape and a white helmet with pheasant-tail headdress. The era carries the motif of the real Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun is a very competitive woman as she always tries compete and outdo Gangrim in their duties.[1] She's also a workaholic as she buried herself in her work which led Zhuge Kongming to joke that when she hears that Gangrim has subjugated another Nightmare, she will refuse to get off work to catch up to him.[6] She showed concern when Gangrim was attacked by Ge Des.[2]

Relationships[]

Gangrim[]

Gangrim is Zhao Yun's fiancé. She's very competitive with him and tries to catch up to him whenever he succeeds in his duties or does something notable.[6] Zhao Yun left the frontlines of her own battle in order to aid him in the subjugation of Demon King Ge Des. She attacked Ge Des for hurting Gangrim and was worried about Gangrim losing his memory if he died from Nightmare and asked Gangrim what she was supposed to do if that happened.[2]

Hardcore Leveling Warrior Season 2[]

The Great War Begins Arc[]

Guan Yu defeats a Nightmare and discovers that Gangrim defeated the real one. She then tells Gangrim that the next boss is hers.[1]

Advent of the Demon King Arc[]

Zhao Yun is stated to be on the front lines subjugating Nightmares by Kongming.[6]

Zhao Yun responds to Kongming's request for backup at Charming Castle and heads there. Riding her white horse, she uses Blue Steel Sword Strike to slash Ge Des, which leaves a cut in the demon king's palm. Ge Des instantly appears behind her and sends and launches a magic blast which is absorbed by the Orb of Blessings. Zhao Yun is teleported away from Ge Des by Giga's teleportation team. She scolds Gangrim for asking her why she came and said that Gangrim requested back up. She tells Gangrim that if you die from Nightmare, you lose your memory and she wouldn't know what to do if that happened to him.[2]

As Giga's 12th Team arrived with their holy relics, Zhao Yun started to believe that there was a chance for victory but this notion is quickly dispelled after Ge Des destroys the 12th Team's Holy relic. As Ge Des delivers a sword strike with enough power to finish off Zhao Yun and the other elite rankers, Zhao Yun and the other rankers accepted becoming Ham's chess pieces and the attacks was deflected.[2]

Zhao Yun becomes Ham's knight chess piece. Under Ham's command, Zhao Yun and Gangrim each deliver a sword strike to Ge Des that did some damage. Under Ham's command, Zhao Yun attacked Gorgota and the demons. As she goes in to attack Ge Des, she is killed from a blow from Ge Des that rips her torso apart and sends her flying from her horse.[4]

Translation Notes[]

The character's real life given name is Ji-Eun (지은). Gangrim calls her Ji-Eun-Ah (지은아).

The -아 suffix is a term added to end of first name. It is used to when you are directly addressing a close friend or someone who is close and younger and is has connotations of endearment and affection. It usually connotes very close personal relationship. Some call this an “affectionate” (noun), which the English language does not have. -아 does not denote respect/honor or indicate a social hierarchy, only the relationship or level of affection you have with the person. In this case, Zhao Yun and Gangrim are engaged.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • The character's in-game name and in-game appearance was first seen in Season 2 Episode 45. Her real life first name was revealed by Gangrim in Season 2 Episode 74.
  • The character has the motif of Zhao Yun, a military general who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty and early Three Kingdoms period of China. More information on Zhao Yun can be found in the Mythology sub-section below.

Mythology[]

Portrait of the general Zhao Yun from a Qing Dynasty edition of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Zhao Yun's original biography in the Records of the Three Kingdoms (Sanguozhi), written by Chen Shou in the third century, is only 346 Chinese characters long. In the fifth century, Pei Songzhi added annotations from the Zhao Yun Biezhuan (趙雲別傳; Unofficial Biography of Zhao Yun) to Zhao Yun's biography in the Sanguozhi, providing a relatively clear, though still incomplete picture of Zhao Yun's life.[7]

Zhao Yun, courtesy name Zilong (子龍), a military general who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty and early Three Kingdoms period of China. Originally a subordinate of the northern warlord Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun later came to serve another warlord, Liu Bei, and had since accompanied him on most of his military exploits, from the Battle of Changban (208) to the Hanzhong Campaign (217–219). He continued serving in the state of Shu Han – founded by Liu Bei in 221 – in the Three Kingdoms period and participated in the first of the Northern Expeditions until his death in 229. While many facts about Zhao Yun's life remain unclear due to limited information in historical sources, some aspects and activities in his life have been dramatised or exaggerated in folklore and fiction.[8]

Many of Zhao Yun's actual exploits were highly dramatised in the 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In the novel, Zhao Yun is portrayed as an almost perfect warrior – one who possesses powerful combat skills, unwavering loyalty to his lord, tremendous courage, keen intelligence, and serene charisma. These traits have often been reflected in nearly all modern materials about Zhao Yun to date.[7]

Zhao Yun was lauded as a member of the Five Tiger Generals (五虎將) under Liu Bei.

Zhao Yun is strongly associated with the color white in several Three Kingdoms media, which is a callback to his appearance as stated in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. People can see an interpretation of him in the Summer Palace, which has a famous painting of his heroics at Changban. White is linked to several positive traits within various fictional mediums, including honesty, virtue, purity and so on. One other reason for Zhao Yun being linked with the color may be due to a myth regarding the horse the general favored. A quick steed in its own right, it is fabled to run one thousand leagues during the day and five hundred leagues at night. The horse's name is supposedly White Dragon (白龍駒). Zhao Yun's horse is named in a Qing drama Changbaopo 長板坡 in a collection called Liyuan Jicheng 梨園集成.[8]

Another strong image for Zhao Yun in various Three Kingdoms fiction is the idea of him wielding a spear, often said to be a long spear. Its name is roughly translated as "Shore Edge Spear" (涯角槍, Yajiaoqiang) in legends and it allegedly makes an unnamed appearance in the Sanguozhi Pinghua. The weapon's revered namesake means that it "[has] none surpassing it, even in the heavenly sea of stars". Measuring in at a length of nine chi (approximately three meters or ten feet in modern conversions), Zhao Yun is said to have wielded it with magnificent skill. If one is to believe the tales, Zhao Yun used the same spear to defeat Zhang Fei in a duel.[8]
