#seong mi na

Girlfriends… Seong Mi-na and Chai Xianghua from Soulcalibur. Drawn as a gift for Little Black Dress exchange.

ソン・ハンミョン  (Seong Han-myeong) was born on March 31, 1538. A skilled martial artist and master of his own dojo, Seong was well known and respected across his home country of Korea. After the deaths of his wife and son, Seong became overly protective and controlling of his daughter, Seong Mi-na, the last scion of his bloodline. He took a particular interest in a student at his dojo, Hwang Seong-gyeong, and considered asking the boy to become his adopted son. Before he could, Hwang left to join the Coastal Forces. Mi-na had also attempted to join the Coastal Forces around the same time, but was rejected due to her gender; this angered Seong, who chastised his daughter and ordered her to remain home. He would continue to meddle in Hwang and Mi-na’s lives for years to come, including an attempt to arrange their marriage, which neither appreciated.

When Hwang embarked on a quest to find the legendary sword Soul Edge, Seong gave his blessing, and wished to assist him. He offered Hwang the Mountain Breaker, his favorite weapon. Hwang politely declined, feeling it was not write to take Seong’s most prized sword, but instead accepted Blue Storm, another formidable sword, and a Seong family heirloom. Meanwhile, Mi-na announced her plans to also seek the Soul Edge, again angering her father. She ran away without his blessing to embark on the quest anyway.

Seong and Mi-na would be estranged for years, but when they finally met again, Seong would accept that his daughter was her own person and a functioning adult, and made a vow to treat her as such.
