Bai Rou Ying

The youngest daughter of Bai Liqiu and Bai Yan An, a gregarious half-demon. Rou Ying is the second-to-last child and finds life at home to be lonely. She has a knowledge of healing and poisons, and tends to lean more into her demon heritage, though she does like to meditate. She occasionally dropped in on her friendliest sibling, Bai Xue Ying, on his travels.   The first time this occurred, Xue Ying was traveling with Zhang Huai Shi, who did not yet know that his best friend was a half demon. Rou Ying visited while Xue Ying was on night watch and asked him if he wanted to see something she'd learned how to do recently. When he said yes, she transformed into a small flame... and could not transform back. Xue Ying kept her in a lantern for a few months and told Huai Shi that it was a local artifact, the Lantern of Winter Summit.   Rou Ying also visited Xue Ying and Huai Shi in 1246 shortly after the two rescued Gao Zhong Hu from long imprisonment. She soon discovered that Gao Zhong Hu was wearing a demon artifact, the Eye of the White Leopard, and ended up under its curse after trying to get a closer look at it. Xue Ying took her to their home in the Thousand Vortices to get their father's help breaking the curse. She returned with him briefly to the mortal realm to help him dismantle the same curse on her friend Zhong Hu.   When Liqiu kidnapped Xue Ying in 1247 to prevent him from joining the War of Eternal Day, Rou Ying enlisted the help of Xun Ying Ti to help her brother leave. After the war, Rou Ying visited all of her brother's friends and made one of her own in Cheng Li Shu. She protected Li Shu from her brother Bai Long Chen when he followed her out to the Cold Wolf Sect to assert his displeasure in her association with mortals in general and Xue Ying's friends in particular.
