Rainy Kim

Professional esports player and idol gamermartial-arts-line player characterThunder Storm club and battle team

Rainy Kim is a famous female professional player whose large fan following makes her an idol of the Galaxy esports scene. Her avatar begins on Planet Aquamarine, follows the martial arts class line, and later joins the galactic force built by Han Xiao. She remains Thunder Storm's signature competitor across several seasons, though the corpus never discloses the person behind the handle.

Biography

Escape from Germinal and the Aquamarine War

During the closed beta, Rainy Kim explores the Western Capital with Sleepy Winter and Twinkle Fried Rice, insists on paying her own share of a map, and joins the Stardragon Army before changing to the martial arts line. Assigned to logistics during the Battle of Tedramira River, she refuses to remain safely in the rear and repeatedly insists on trying the front line despite having no plan and inadequate weapons. The trio witnesses Frenzied Sword fighting beside the Black Phantom, which reveals how far he has advanced. Rainy Kim later discusses Stardragon and the battle on Galaxy Times, turning her first campaign into public expertise as well as game progress. (Chapters 55–59, 129, 135, 137–139, 145, and 168)

The Black Star Mercenary Group

Rainy Kim is among the professional players Han recruits into his expanding galactic mercenary faction. She travels with the player contingent, contributes to the credibility needed for the group to become an official mercenary organization, and participates when the passengers of the Short Horn Star are taken hostage. Her comments remain characteristically blunt—she dismisses bulky mechanical suits as ugly—but she also joins Maple Moon in urging the group to investigate Sylvia's accusations instead of choosing an immediate execution. These scenes place Thunder Storm inside Black Star's player force while showing that Rainy Kim's reserve does not prevent her from favoring a more careful and humane decision. (Chapters 319, 325, 335, 355, 381, and 434)

Mutation Disaster and the Secret War

Thunder Storm enters the second Pro League season as a tier-one team led in practice by Rainy Kim's individual strength. She decisively defeats Li Ge, carrying Thunder Storm past Temple of Gods 3–1 and into the division's top four, but the team later fails to qualify from the International Regulars because one star player cannot sustain the entire roster. Years later, she remains composed while discussing coordinated foreign-club pressure on Chinese teams, and Team Thunder Storm reaches the four-team player final of the Black Star Cup. These later direct appearances establish continued professional activity; an audience joke calling her old is merely fan banter, not evidence of retirement or a changed identity. (Chapters 645, 648, 650, 917, 1090, and 1134)

Appearance and personality

Rainy Kim is repeatedly presented through her public image as a great beauty and female idol gamer, and one scene describes her standing quietly by a window like a beautiful lady. She is cool, proud, independent, and usually expressionless, but also determined enough to push into danger and responsible enough to stop her fans from harassing Frenzied Sword after a fair loss. Her gentler side appears when another person's life is being judged. (Chapters 55–56, 137–139, 305, 319, and 434)

Abilities and class

Rainy Kim's player character follows the martial arts line after initially enlisting in the Stardragon Army. The corpus does not provide a detailed skill list or later grade, but her tournament results establish elite player-versus-player ability: she narrowly loses to Frenzied Sword in the first season and later overwhelms Li Ge while carrying Thunder Storm to the top four. Her competitive limit is team depth rather than a stated lack of individual skill. (Chapters 59, 135, 303, 305, 648, and 650)

Relationships

  • Sleepy Winter and Twinkle Fried Rice: They are her closed-beta companions and fellow professional players. The trio enlists, completes early missions, and travels into galactic society together. (Chapters 55–59, 135–145, and 319)
  • Frenzied Sword: He begins as a less established peer, then becomes her tournament opponent. After his narrow victory draws abuse from her fans, she publicly stops them and privately apologizes. (Chapters 55, 139, and 305)
  • Han Xiao: His Black Phantom identity first shows Rainy Kim how much progress is possible, and he later recruits Thunder Storm into his mercenary faction. (Chapters 139, 303, 319, and 335)
  • Maple Moon: The two women jointly argue for investigating Sylvia's story before deciding her fate. (Chapter 434)
  • Li Ge: Rainy Kim defeats him decisively in the second-season division finals. (Chapter 648)

Items

Rainy Kim has no named personal item in the supplied inventory. Her early handguns and later faction equipment are shared or generic gear rather than distinctive possessions. (Chapters 137–138 and 335–355)
