Yihwa's known for her raw destructive power—the Yeon Family's Flare, as some call her. She entered the Tower at 14 and immediately made an impression, acing the Second Floor tests. Getting to the 20th Floor took her five years of solo climbing, which is solid progress, though she had to do it without leaning on her family's name or connections.
The thing is, Yihwa's flames are intense, sometimes too intense. Early on, she'd already burned someone badly enough to be remembered for it. This became a pattern: she struggled to keep control, and when she tried asking for help managing her ability, other climbers turned her down specifically because she was a Yeon. Apparently being from a prestigious family meant people assumed she should just have it figured out.
She joined up with Jyu Viole Grace and Team Tangsooyook from early season 2 onward. Her track record includes at least one test where things went badly—she accidentally burned Wangnan and most of her team during an exam, causing everyone involved to fail. It's the kind of thing that sticks with you, and fans often note it as a turning point in how she approached her abilities going forward.
