Li Na

Li Jun's sister, named on the Maestro's show as one of the two people left frozen in the hallway scene, whom her brother and Zhang are told to choose between; Zhang, pressed, says to save the Li siblings (ch. 42). She is on screen reaching for the sword, and runs with her brother when the scene unfreezes.

Li Jun's sister, in his recap clip as 'an odd, demon-like race who fought with chains' (ch. 3), and met in person on the last day: a Changbi Slave Driver, level 30, taller and rail-thin, horns through black hair, a mouth twice as wide as it should be, four chains hanging from the sleeves of a white-and-red robe (ch. 32). She is the plan's best critic — 'In case you die, then we will know what the mission is and can carry on' — lassoes one mantaur unconscious while the other is broken and carried to the portal, and warns Carl off a high five: 'you will experience excruciating pain […] and lose control of your bladder and bowels' (ch. 32). In the trainyard she arrives through the wall with a second mantaur reduced to a chained head and torso, kept alive through every amputation — 'Similar concept with what you did with that gnoll' — and tells Carl to get punching (ch. 33).

Stays behind with her brother to watch a screaming tentacle god in the next bubble, and goes down the stairs with him (ch. 33). Slit's chain whip reminds Carl of hers.

The demonic sister who can track Eva (ch. 21), turns to smoke (ch. 36), sees which god every hunter worships (ch. 60), and cannot be touched without a curse. Her spore-smoke puts the mushroom guards to sleep (ch. 62); her chains carry her brother across the ballroom (ch. 75). She goes with Katia to find Eva, casts Preserve Injury, and says 'Kill her' (epilogue).

Watches Donut in the strip club for Katia (ch. 24); twenty keys to twenty-five without in her zone (ch. 52); Xing Tian, a Legendary Master, a dragon (ch. 67, ch. 68); fires the chain her brother skis down, and is called 'demon' by the thing wearing Carl (ch. 71).

She has not spoken to Carl since the eye (ch. 40); she gives her blood freely for Katia to ink a chain tattoo on Carl's arm (ch. 40) and climbs the clock tower to cast a touch-range dread over twenty metres of wire into Club Vanquisher: Dark Purpose, and Mork the ram pulls out his own eyes while a mantaur guard stabs himself in the throat (ch. 50, ch. 51). She power-levels through a massacre — Defile Soul, Bleeding Horror, Succulent Decay — second on the leaderboard by the interview (ch. 51, ch. 52, ch. 56), and is the one Donut begs Carl to give the second Ring of Divine Suffering to (ch. 57). She installs her dead brother's celestial eye in her own socket (ch. 69, ch. 71), hands Carl a duplicated hell-kissed potion — 'before they, too, fall victim to your chaos' — and conscripts Harpocrates without exploding (ch. 71, ch. 72). She rides the god, builds a lattice of chains for Donut's paw, and tells Donut that Li Jun's death is Donut's fault (ch. 73, ch. 75, ch. 76). She marks everyone in the ball and maxes every base stat at level 87, a thing that has never happened, but Tagg, Fang and three of Rust's harem escape her, the last to the eighteenth floor, and she can never heal again (ch. 77, ch. 82). She floats over the espresso stand glowing black and purple, chains like wings, and does not answer Elle (ch. 82); she goes into the stairwell without a word (ch. 86).

She killed most of her heat before the book began and casts a dread in heat four that makes the others kill each other — five of twenty-four teams survive (ch. 17, ch. 51). Poisoned, Left to Fester, meditating in her guild with her brother's eye in her head (ch. 52, ch. 54); a Changbi who cannot worship a god, and so the first through the cleaner bot: 'I am no child to protect' and 'Do not ever lose your smile' (ch. 54, ch. 61). Her Deadly Bloom on a cactus says she made it (ch. 67); she has promised to keep the war mages from turning (ch. 61). 'She’s a lot like me. She’s lost her way' (ch. 60).
