Swords have a temper. Sometimes, you have to touch them to calm them down — put the hilt of the sword in your hand, and it'll tell you what's wrong!

Overview
A sword hunter from the Xianzhou Zhuming and "the Flaming Heart" General Huaiyan's darling granddaughter. Frank and straightforward. She practiced swordsmanship and forging from Huaiyan since young, and thus is the second-youngest prodigy swordmaster of the Flamewheel Octet. Fueled by an intense loathing for the cursed swords that emerged from the Zhuming, she vowed to "hunt down and wipe out all cursed swords."
In the past, great tragedies were caused by cursed swords forged by her father Hanguang, and when those cursed swords leaked, people had their minds consumed by them. This is why she hates cursed swords and has made it her goal to hunt them down.
She can hear the voice of swords, and listens to them when wielding them or forging them (as she can also hear the voice of bats, there seems to be no limit to the type of weapon she can hear). She hates swords being used by bad people, or conversely, good people being consumed by cursed swords, and she evaluates the behavior and abilities of their owners from the voice of the sword and the sword techniques they use, and takes away the weapons of those who have strayed from the path or who she deems unworthy to wield a sword. As a way to protect her weapons, she melts the swords in the furnace and forges them anew.
Possessing incredible strength despite her small stature, she easily swings an unfinished large sword she forged herself, called "Old Mettle", and delivers heavy blows to her opponents.

About Other Characters
This part is about what Yunli thinks about the other characters in Honkai: Star Rail.
He has so many great swords that he never uses. Sometimes, I can hear those swords crying... Is this what people mean when they say "spoiled for choice?"
March is my first apprentice. She's talented and willing to put in the work — I'm quite pleased with her. If I could just hear her say that my teaching is better than Yanqing's, I would be over the moon.
Grandpa always treats me like a child. But come to think of it, at his age, who isn't a child to him?
He always asks me to go eat hot pot with him. I know it's delicious, but I just can't eat that hot and spicy stuff.
The Luofu's high elder? I once got to share a table with her in Aurum Alley. We ate tons of scallion chicken and fried rice balls. We even exchanged numbers and agreed to come back to Aurum Alley for a big dinner sometime.
Every time I hear Grandpa and General Jing Yuan talking, I start to fall asleep. Why can't they speak to each other the same way they talk to me? I can never understand conversations between generals...
I prefer to make friends by sparring — after all, combat is more sincere than words. That carefree general of the Yaoqing is the same as me in that regard.
Ah yes, General Feixiao has a counselor by that name. I've heard that it's very, very difficult to see him, unless he reveals himself willingly. But usually he's nowhere in sight...
Whenever I'm on the Zhuming and I have time, I go visit Lingsha and Ardens Regia. Then, when I'm tired of playing, I rest my head on her lap... Lingsha always has this sweet sweet aroma about her.
That Judge from the Ten-Lords Commission? She doesn't seem like a warrior, but that tail of hers has some fight in it.
Qingque has the guts to grab March away right in front of me and go play Celestial Jade... but I can see she has experience. March might be able to learn a thing or two from her and apply it to her swordsmanship.
You mean Yingxing? I've never met him in person, but Grandpa has mentioned him countless times. He's probably one of his most famous apprentices... I'd love to chat with that Shard Sword of his if I get the chance.
After we got to know each other by sparring, I realized that he was indeed a kind gentleman, but it was a little hard to understand him... And his "sword" was hard to understand, too...
