Gu Wanyue, the Wailing Wraith in-game dossier and forms

Gu Wanyue, the Wailing Wraith

A gaunt woman in white keeps vigil by a dry well, singing over and over that she has heard her beloved call to her. Anyone who dares disturb her delusion is caught in her flowing sleeves like blades and trapped by Phantom Arts in endless darkness. Once, she witnessed a disciple of the High Elder conjure countless illusions through the sound of a zither, each one breathtakingly beautiful, and she followed the disciple without hesitation. But what the High Elder taught was merely another form of Sha-Chi Transcension. She never found a way to bring opera and Phantom Arts together, and instead was left with a face that grew increasingly twisted and disfigured. It was a letter from her beloved that gave her the resolve to risk everything to escape that twisted path. After barely escaping with her life, she fled the sect, hiding her ruined face behind a mask and suppressing her Sha-Chi so she could make her way to the place where she and her beloved had promised to meet. Yet in all of Pangzhen, there was no familiar face to be found. Using her strange arts to search, she found instead a lingering trace of her beloved's memory. He had loved listening to her sing in life, so the well became her stage, and she became a woman trapped between opera and dream... As long as she keeps singing, her beloved will return. Even if every song is filled with the sound of her weeping.\
