Ebony

A character from The World Tree. An orphan who was being tested on humans at the Flower Research Institute, she was found by Lee Si-heon when she wandered away after the institute failed and was taken to a slave market in China. She has the appearance of a middle-school girl, with dark hair and eyes, but is actually slightly older than that due to the abuse and malnutrition she suffered as a slave, including beatings and malnutrition. She is also a bit older than her actual age. She is also very fair-skinned, due to her hardships, and is quite a pretty girl. Aside from his obsession with becoming stronger, she is very stoic, showing no interest in things his peers might like, including food, which makes it very difficult for Lee to establish a psychological distance. Due to his long years as an experimental subject in isolation from the outside world, she suffers from communalism and, according to his status, depression. However, after being taken care of by Lee Shiheon and starting to interact with other members of the Eighth Leaf, such as Saeyoungmok, his behavior has improved, and she is now a normal person who can at least express his desire for affection. As a result of her stunted physical and mental development, she often displays a childlike demeanor, especially when it comes to sexuality. When the rumor among the heroines is that Lee Si-heon raped Lee Se-young and Marronie, she is shocked and even fainted because she feels betrayed by her esteemed master.
