Overview
Kui Yanyan, called the Deranged, is a woman out of her mind who strikes whoever she comes across on the mountain paths of the Mountain of Imprisonment.
Ragged violet robes, a crude and warped bronze face covering and untamed gray hair describe her look. In battle she relies on a hefty club with spikes, using almost no skill.
During the climb she crashed into a fight between the Mandate and Huangxing's followers.
Background
A Son Cut Down in Front of Her
Villagers butchered her son, who had turned into a Maskwalker, as she watched. Overcome by grief, she took the Transcension device out of his body and put it in her own, offering up the blood of a whole village in his memory.
Ever since, she has roamed looking for medicine, convinced that she can still revive him.
