BACKSTORY

Centuries ago, a group of Korean Sages worshipped spirits in order to protect themselves against the daily struggles of life and to fend off demons. The spirits repaid the loyalty of the small group of sages by assuring their descendants would be blessed. The blessings were passed down from one generation to the next. Many centuries later, a young guild of South Korean sages named Nari, Jung, and Kim  were led by their teacher, Mrs. Kwan. The four of them had engaged against a witch who wielded stone-based magic. During the battle, the witch set his sights on Jung, planning to impale the worried young sage who knew that he and his teammates were in over their heads. Nari sensed her teammate's fear just as the witch had, and quickly positioned herself in front of Jung. The witch summoned a spear shaped stone and right before it could impale Jung, Nari sacrificed herself and was struck in the gut. Nari shot her teacher a smile one last time before she crumbled to the ground and died. Mrs. Kwan and her remaining students eventually managed to defeat the witch. The next day, Nari was buried by her family, teammates, and fellow students at her school. Mrs. Kwan disbanded the team shortly afterwards and felt it was best if everyone found a different path in life.

Normally, when a mortal's life ends, their spirit ventures to the Spirit Realm, a place where the souls of the deceased go to their final rest. Nari; however, would meet a different fate because she was a descendant of the sages who praised the spirits many, many centuries ago. A week after her death, instead of her body decomposing as expected, Nari's skin transformed from a dull gray color into a soft gray. The girl's eyes opened and glowed in a ghoulish yellow color. Realizing she was inside a coffin, Nari began to panic for freedom and she accidentally unleashed a blast of green and red flames from her palms. Freed from the coffin, Nari wandered around Korea in order to get a grasp on her situation. Upon seeing herself in a mirror, Nari realized that whatever she was, she was no longer human but some sought of undead. Finding a nearby alley, Nari sat alone in the dark and began sobbing, knowing that the life she once knew was over.

Over the next few weeks, although far from being a villain, Nari caused trouble in various parts of Korea. She stole clothes to keep from running around naked and, of course, she stole sweets, especially her favorite lotus seed buns. She gained the attention of Korean hero, K-Pop idol, Sung Jin, who had just completed his military service. He contacted his secret lover, King Onyx, the current ruler of Mayland, to assist him in dealing with the Gwisin running around his country. The duo eventually located and confronted Nari. Because all three had reasonable natures, they resolved things in a peaceful and proper manner instead of having to battle. The duo helped Nari understand her situation and Sung Jin offered Nari to stay with him while Onyx assisted her in understanding her powers as a Gwisin. Shortly afterwards, Nari went to live with a monk who continued Nari's training. She would use her powers to fight crime throughout Korea.
