Min Shuei is a Sage. She was engaged to the Sage of the Endless Sword, who mentored Yerin until he was murdered in Sacred Valley
Appearance
She dragged a gust of icy air with her. The new arrival looked young, perhaps midway through her twenties, with sun-browned skin and long, flowing white hair. She wore sky-blue sacred artist’s robes decorated with snowflakes like white flowers. Along the outside of her forearms ran a frozen line of ice down her skin. A straight-bladed sword hung in a blue sheath on her back. (-Uncrowned, ch 8)
Personality
Determined. Too emotional for Yerin’s taste. Likes animals. Seems to have strong opinions. Despite her strong will, she collaborated well enough with Akura Charity in mentoring Yerin for the final rounds of the Uncrowned King Tournament
Titles
The Winter Sage
The Sage of Frozen Blade
Sect
now her speech was tinged with hatred. “By the time
I sensed her strike, she was already flying away.”
-Uncrowned, chapter 8
Min Shuei is master of the Frozen Blade Sect, which is another Akura vassal state. Her sect participated in the Uncrowned King Tournament but en route to the tournament, the dragon Herald Xorrus ambushed their cloudship, killing hundreds, including her best contenders. Together with Akura Charity, she mentored Yerin for the final rounds of the Uncrowned King Tournament. This training occurred at her Frozen Blade campus.
Her Fiancé
According to Yerin, the Sword Sage broke off his engagement to Min Sheui in order to take Yerin northwest for training. In truth, he took her to Sacred Valley to ask Subject One how to get rid of her Blood Shadow (see Wintersteel).
Soulsmith
Min Shuei is also accomplished at soulsmithing and has forged two Wintersteel swords - one for herself and a twin for the Sword Sage.
. . . she raised her weapon into the air. It looked the same as Yerin’s. Hers couldn’t be the only white-bladed sword in the world, but Lindon recognized it immediately. He had been with Yerin when she’d pulled it from the Sword Sage’s body. This was exactly the same as the one Yerin carried, from the shape of the hilt to the length of the blade. (Uncrowned, ch 8)
Path
She’s a sword master. She has manifested both the sword and winter icon. Icy madra. Sword aura.
The Winter Sage bristled with rage, and icy madra spread to every corner of the ship. Lindon shivered, his skin prickling as sword-aura stung him in response to this woman’s anger. (Uncrowned, ch 8)
