== History ==
Liyun was born in [[Torio]], on the planet [[Komashi]]. When Yumi was young, Liyun began acting as her warden, raising her under the strict rules of traditional yoki-hijo, and hiding from her the existence of the reform movement.
When the father machine activated, it consumed Liyun's soul, but then released her from the shroud to join Yumi in reliving the same day for seventeen hundred years. During each night, while Yumi slept, Liyun became an insane nightmare drawn to the imaginations of the people of Kilahito. Liyun sometimes acted under her own control and sometimes acted under the control of the Machine, such as when she and other nightmares destroyed [[Futinoro]]. When [[Hoid]] came to Kilahito, he began seeing events from Liyun's perspective. After Yumi managed to free a hijo from the Father Machine, the hijo followed Liyun into Kilahito, where they encountered [[Nikaro]], who stopped Liyun from killing a boy. Liyun escaped before Nikaro finished painting her.{{book ref|yumi|39}}
The hijo then Connected Yumi to Nikaro, which stopped Yumi's memories from resetting each day. As a result, Yumi and Liyun continued from that point in a recreation of [[Gongsha Town]], instead of repeating the usual day in [[Ihosen]]. As Yumi and Nikaro traded places, Liyun interacted with Nikaro as if he was Yumi. Over the next several weeks, Liyun continued to serve and advise during Yumi's supposed malady. As a nightmare, Liyun became stable and attacked Yumi, but she was driven off by Nikaro's painting again.{{book ref|yumi|29}}
Liyun went with Nikaro and Yumi to confront the scholars about the machine. During the confrontation, the scholars activated a device that made Liyun revert to her nightmare form.{{book ref|yumi|34}}
When the scholars ended the Connection between Yumi and Nikaro, and Yumi's memory reset, Liyun was less strict and more scatterbrained than usual. She left Yumi for a time and visited Nikaro as a nightmare. She retained some awareness during the interaction and spoke to Nikaro, explaining how they had existed over the centuries and warning him of an upcoming nightmare invasion. Nikaro gave a Liyun a painting Yumi painted, and Liyun delivered it back to Yumi.{{book ref|yumi|36}}
During the [[Battle of Kilahito]], Nikaro painted Liyun back into a human form{{book ref|yumi|40}}, and she stayed in the form until she evaporated with the destruction of the father machine.{{book ref|yumi|41}}
