        SuA (17 years old) is a servant of the Yeo family, a pro-Japanese household. She was born in a poor family and was sold to them at 5 years old. She is illiterate but clever and strong-minded.

        One day at the beach, she saved Kang EuiHyeon an independence activist shot by the Japanese. After he regained consciousness, he told her the story of "The Little Mermaid", the princess who saved the prince, without mentioning the end. SuA fell in love with Kang EuiHyeon and wanted to meet him again. Due to various events, she ended up going to Gyeongseong (now Seoul).
