Striped Ribbon

Yangyang's blue beret always has a delicate ribbon attached to its brim. It's her signature look, and a precious gift from her mother before she embarked on her journey. To Yangyang, it symbolizes her mother's blessing and marks the start of her own journey. She holds onto the resolution she made when putting on the ribbon, determined to see it through until the end.

Sound Recorder

As Yangyang grew accustomed to the constant presence of Streams, she began to contemplate capturing the fleeting sound of the wind. With the help of Baizhi's modifications and innovative energy conversion technology, a device was created to store the Streams as visual and tangible information. Whether it be the gentle sound of snow falling on a mountain, an untold story, or a poignant moment that brings tears to one's eyes, Yangyang now had the ability to record these realities that her senses were attuned to.

All in One

Yangyang has been crafting wind chimes since she was a child, using polished jade crystals in the shape of birds as plectrums. Starting with just a few, she has now collected and gifted dozens of them to her loved ones. Each one is different, with intricate designs that evolve over time as Yangyang adds new plectrums and adjusts their placement. She sees it as a never-ending journey, with endless possibilities for interpretation. Despite not knowing what kind of melody the wind chimes will eventually create, Yangyang stays true to her original intention—a lifelong pursuit of perfecting her craft, just like her family's tradition of "One Instrument for Life."

The Secret to Excellence

In any social group, there are those who exude a convincing, reliable aura that convinces people they could achieve anything, despite not having started or done it before. Yangyang is one such person. "Yangyang? It seems... She can do everything so well." People would always say so. This trust probably stems from their experiences with her. Since childhood, Yangyang has excelled in her studies, including etiquette, music, literature, mathematics, and martial arts... She always ranked at the top in all subjects and exams every year. Even when encountering new knowledge or difficult problems, Yangyang never showed frustration; rather, she would actively try to solve any problem that came her way. Yangyang was always chosen to give speeches at her school’s annual ceremonies. But, like everyone else, she would take a deep breath before speaking, hiding her nerves. Despite having some talent for understanding complex concepts, she lacked true genius. And while others may see her as successful and confident, she struggles just as much with everyday problems. In her first swordsmanship lesson, she struggled to control her swings and execute proper techniques. Despite this setback, she resolved to work even harder. For the next two months, she practiced 100 times a day and sought guidance from experienced seniors, humbly acknowledging her weaknesses. She then continued to practice with a reflective mindset, improving upon the deficiencies pointed out by others. Eventually, her muscles adapted to the pain and she could withstand several strikes from an opponent. And in another two months, Yangyang, once again, emerged as the top student in her swordsmanship class. Concerned individuals tried to console Yangyang, reminding her that life is not perfect and that she should be content with the affirmation and praise she receives. But Yangyang would kindly reject this advice, knowing that her drive came from within and not from seeking validation from others. Was she giving her all? Was everything done to the best of her ability? These were the questions that consumed her. With a smile and a gentle shake of her head, she would reject any advice to take it easy, determined to push herself to perfection with no room for regrets or shame. "That's our Yangyang, doing amazing as always. We knew you'd make it!" That was when Yangyang became an Outrider and successfully helped resolve a regional TD crisis. People praised her excellence as usual. <I>"Yes, I did it this time, but how about next time? There are still so many things I could have done better; so many things I don't know. Perhaps I should go seek advice from senior members of the Midnight Ranger..."</i> Being consistently reliable is daunting, yet crucial. It takes relentless effort and dedication. Yangyang is determined to give her all to achieve this goal. She strives to be the one others can seek help from anytime, and won’t stop until she succeeds.
