Yasmine

Yasmine was born in a noble family. Her parents are famous merchants in the country. From a tender age, Yasmine underwent vigorous training to become a "model lady", and she succeeded in becoming the target of admiration of other girls of her age.

In the area of music, Yasmine is a perfectionist. She wouldn't allow herself to make a single mistake during a performance. Every note must be played accurately. If she made a mistake, she would start over from the beginning. Her belief that "mistakes are due to insufficient practices" drove her to perfect her playing and made her the receiver of the music academy's scholarship year after year.

Perhaps due to jealousy, whenever people talk about her, they would always say, "Oh, that robotic musician. She's pretty good."

"She's just a violinist. What's the big deal!"

"Because her family is rich. All the teachers, even the principal, are trying to curry favor with her."

Yasmine walked into the classroom pretending not to hear their comments. At first, it was just a suffocating atmosphere, but it gradually became visible clouds of evil thoughts emitting from people. To keep herself away from all these, she wore a mask and gloves, and avoided talking to other people. Soon she became a freak in their eyes.

So Yasmine immersed herself in music. Only when she's playing the violin could she forget the filth in the world.

However, there's a limit to how far skills can go, and accuracy in music has only one standard answer. Those evil thoughts were slowly creeping into her mind...

"I wish I could make them disappear..."

Such thoughts had crossed Yasmine's mind more than once.

An international student came to Yasmine's school. She has never seen such brilliance coming from a person. For the first time, Yasmine wanted to get to know more about another human being.

At one performance, Yasmine made a mistake. Thankfully, Abby managed to help her get back on track. After the performance, Abby invited Yasmine to her show.

Yasmine followed Abby into an underground bar. At first, she thought that it would be a place where evil thoughts congregate, yet what she saw was something completely different. All the oddly-dressed musicians emitted dazzling light. When it was Abby's turn, the crowd went wild. Her light even dispelled the darkness around her.

Yasmine watched Abby played on stage. Those "non-standard" musical notes flew off Abby's strings and right into Yasmine's heart.

Paganini, a violinist from Italy, is one of the most famous violinists in history. His incredible hands had innovated many new violin techniques.

When Paganini was young, he went off-track due to pride. Possessing a powerful gnosis, he was the target of those with evil intentions, and ultimately became a Nightmare. Thankfully, a kind Radiant came to his rescue. She helped him regain his sense of touch and music, and taught him how to play other instruments, such as the guitar.

With her help, Paganini got back on his feet and continued to create music and perform.

After his death, his gnosis became a Lens and landed in the hands of his trusted Radiant.

After watching Abby's performance, Yasmine, having lived a life of restrictions, suddenly had this urge to break free from that impregnable castle. Abby's passionate and straightforward music stirred her heart.

She decided to try something new. At the year-end concert, Yasmine changed her repertoire to Paganini's Caprice No. 9 "The Hunt" at the last minute. She displayed unprecedented skills, along with gorgeous and flamboyant music. She no longer demanded accuracy; instead, she listened to the burning passion inside her and followed the dazzling light before her. She thought she heard the strings saying, "Hey, young one. Ready to show off your fiery soul with the strings?"
