Baek Miho

Feline pupils, slit into eyes of yellow, mark Miho most plainly, and a long fall of magenta hair frames the look. That shade of magenta carries over to what she wears on raids, a fitted armor set picked out with gold and dark trim. Pretty and young in her bearing, she draws the eye each time a Dungeon takes her in.

Guarded and grave by nature, Miho keeps a deep allegiance to the leadership of the Korean Hunters Association. Almost nothing nearby slips past her, and she tucks her true feelings beneath a convincing act, a pairing that suits hidden assignments well. Restraint, discipline, and a flair for performance let her gather what she needs while betraying nothing, which makes her a capable spy.

An unnamed woman and Baek Yoonho conceived her in the years before any Gate or Dungeon had surfaced. Once those dangers began to appear, an awakening reached her just as it had reached her father, and she joined him on the front lines inside the White Tiger Guild. The A-Rank designation signals genuine power: into a fox-shaped beast clad in white fur and hair she can shift her body, a change that drives up both her speed and her might, with the option to alter only chosen portions when she likes. A second talent she names the Eyes of the Beast carries her into an enlightened focus, gauging the exact strength of whatever monster or Hunter she fixes on.

Her first turn in Solo Leveling: Ragnarok finds her tailing Lee Minsung as he exits a Stardust factory, after which she hands the lead to Woo Jinchul. At his direction she marches a strike team into Pakgu Dungeon, the stated goal of clearing it masking her real hunt for proof of Minsung's wrongdoing. Salamanders ambush the group inside, and she pulps a pair of the fire-breathers by cracking their scales with her bare hands, lamenting the powers Minsung had let go to waste until Tiel fells another beast bearing down on her. Further in she turns up nothing she can use, and the Reaper's Guild Vice-Guild Master near the boss entrance briefly rattles her. Once a freed Minsung lands a mortal strike on Tiel, she lunges to detain the rogue A-Ranker, but he gets away.
