The master craftsman of Nianwu Pavilion split a piece of black jade in two, forging the Qingluo Umbrella and a black jade sword—weapons named Indigo and Forgetfulness. The umbrella itself was meant to be the princess's legacy, serving more as a symbol of power and status than as anything actually useful. Qingdai, the umbrella's spirit, exists in a kind of limbo because of this. She knows she belongs to the princess, but that's basically all she knows about herself—she's just. an accessory with a consciousness.
